Clay Matthews out a month with broken thumb?

I am not criticizing, but why can't they just tape it up? Does it affect tackling too much?

Depends on the severity of the break, right?

He should be asking himself what would Ronnie Lott do?

I think Cutler should tweet that he's a pussy.

How will be comb his hair?

Don't players play with broken arms? They just put a brace on it and suck it up

So he's supposed to chop off his thumb today so he can get back to playing faster? Brilliant.

It'll give him time to get a quick cycle in.

He had a few pins inserted in his thumb due to a significant separation. He'll be out 4 weeks till the pins get removed and probably miss a couple more weeks for more healing.

Breaking a thumb is more serious than breaking a finger. People play with broken fingers all the time *cough Favre cough*...
