News on Jimmy G

[SDGuy73]

X-rays came back and no brakes. Mooch from NFLN just said this

 

[SDGuy73]

NFLN is now reporting JG has a sprained AC joint.

Garapollo has a sprained AC joint. He will be swollen tomorrow and in extreme pain. He won't be able to reach into the cupboard with his right hand to grab the Wheaties. They probably shot it full of cortisone to keep the swelling down to a minimum and injected pain relief.

JG will NOT play Thursday night against the Texans. He does plan to play Week 4 against the Bills

Lets hope Parcells is right and the rookie can win his first start.

And stay healthy.

LaCanfora of CBS is saying the Patriots are saying Jimmy G's injury will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis ...

no kidding right? But these sprains are pretty common and depending on the pain after several days it's possible to play ... I can't imagine in four days though ... but "Garoppolo in Buffalo" has a catchy sound to it ...

They should error on the side of caution and keep him out at least two games.

Looked like a shoulder sprain or separation.

I wish the best for the young man.

All of the network medical experts are chiming in. You gotta love it. There are erections all over the country because the Patriots are now down to their third string QB.

Anyway. now LaCanfora is saying JG will be out at least 6 weeks. Some "Injury Analyst" for CBS says he will be out 4-6 weeks. Mike Reiss of ESPN is reporting that it's a day to day thing and he will not play Thursday night against the Texans.

I think everyone needs to zip their flies and wait to hear from the Patriots directly or from the MD who actually looked at the film and JG himself. Making a guess based on TV 3000 miles away is pretty stupid.

It's Official...........The NFL Network has shelved JG for the Texans game Thursday night.

Well not sure the Patriots have been known for being forthcoming when it comes to injuries. So not sure I would be trusting of them either.

At this point it all depends on the grade of the injury. Grade 1,2, or 3 means he won't need surgery but we are talking 2-3 weeks worth of him being in pain. So while he is probably out for the upcoming game against the Texans if he plays against the Bills I can promise you he will be in a lot of pain. And the issue with trying to pump him full of meds is that 1) won't know if he hurts the shoulder more and 2) will have trouble controlling his arm. He will also see a decrease in velocity with this injury for a few weeks. Grades any higher than a 3 usually require surgery but from the sound of things it doesn't sound that high.

I will say the Patriots have to be careful with this. These are the type of injuries that can lead to problems down the road for a QB. Not letting it heal properly now puts a lot of strain on the rest of the shoulder and on that joint moving forward.

 

[redseat]

He was dealing to when he went down.. Damnit!

 

[PatsFan2003]

I would be stunned if he plays Thursday. It might be possible he plays week 4 but even that seems doubtful.

This sprain will require 3 weeks in a sling. He will feel better in a week but anything less than 3 weeks means long term problems or surgery. I don't want to see him against Houston or Buffalo.....

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Let em sit...No need to rush him. We should be fine with JB. I think NE goes back to a similar game plan as they did vs AZ. Load up the OL, keep him safe, run the ball, short passes, move the clock. Hou was a tough matchup anyways, but we could lose this game and be fine. Let Jimmy get ready for Buffalo. Lets hope are def can at least play well the next two games. Cause that shit yesterday was god awful...

Obviously we have no clue the severity of the injury. Most though would have a doctor recommend even for a low grade sprain at least 3 weeks of minimal activity with that shoulder. You are right they would be in a sling for a while. This is the type of injury that you can make it worse the more you do and it is the type that can have long-term issues where maybe 3-5 years down the road he is needing surgery on that shoulder.

So I guess this depends of does the team see him as the long-term solution at QB after Brady? If so then I am with you that I would rather sit him fro these 2 weeks. You guys have a pretty weak division so even if you lose these next 2 waiting for Brady to get back still a good chance of you winning the division.
