Spaeth Reportedly Carted Off With Injury

Damn that makes it sound like it might be a pretty bad injury.

 

Yeah, that makes it sound like we might be counting on David Paulson and David Johnson, assuming he gets healthy, until we get Heath back.

 

word is he may have just got his foot stepped on and should be fine.

 

This looks much different than my mind imagined when I read the headline.

 

There's been more season ending injuries in this first week of camp this year than in the past, some coaches blame it on the new CBA rules eliminating contact during OTAs and the limited pad practice allowed in camp, already twenty players are done for the season, and the first preseason game hasn't even been played, you think the softer practice schedules are back firing on the rules makers????

 

well it is shark week. not a good week to be a seal.

we have gilbert week. not a good week to play on gilberts side.

 

Well, the headline did say "carted off" ............ It does kinda suggest a different image.

gratefully they carted him off in a Kubota
imagine if it was a Gator
could have ran over 10 more players hurting their legs too
THANKS GILBERT!!!!!!!!!

 

gratefully we're not the bungles

carted off

IN HANDCUFFS

 

I'm guessing signing another TE today means bad news for Spaeth's ankle.

 

From Twitterville ...
Pittsburgh Steelers @steelers Roster Update: We have signed Tight End Nathan Overbay and released Offensive Tackle Mike Farrell.

 

Yeah, with him on his back at least

 

What was the last word on how many weeks Heath will likely be out of the regular season?

 

This doesn't make any sense to me. Players come in and run a little bit, tearing MCL's and ACL's and it's because of no contact? I wonder how many of these injuries around the league come from a surface other than grass.

 

Not a good sign but let's not jump to conclusions and write him off.

We have a game Sat. We still have Paulson and Jamie McCoy. Paulson will now play with the 1st and 2nd units and Jamie will work with the 2nd and 3rd units. We need another body to play a few downs with the 3rd and 4th units to close out the 4th QTR. Spaeth is out this week for sure. As long as he gets back by the 1st reg. season game we'll be okay. This also gives more 1str team reps to Paulson which can very well help his development.

our team voted against it.

 

Hell, at the moment BA has 7 tight ends tucked away on his roster.
