Not good for the guy. I really hope whatever this is doesn’t become a career ender

PrOUZTScise.

I'll see myself out.

 

[Trackhawk]

Dang it. I really enjoyed watching him play and was hoping for a productive year for him.

 

[AROS]

I smell injury-prone-itis. Ugh.

 

[sutz]

That sucks. If he starts the year on IR, can he come back? I'm thinking this means he misses the entire season.

FB is the position I haven't see Fluery talk a lot about...more mixed backfield using WR, TE, etc. Not that he ruled out FB...obviously SF is highly effective utilizing the position. I'm curious to see how that position iterates with the new O schemes.

I was personally excited to see FB being brought back and loved what OOOTZ did in PS and early last year. His injury faded the trajectory a bit.

The team can designate up to two players who are on IR at the time of cutting the roster to 53, that can return mid-season. He would have to miss at least four games.

If he is not one of the two, he would have to miss the entire season.

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t designate him, unless you had two bigger names that get injured before cut downs.

Thanks for the clarification. It all depends on the injury, I guess.

This sucks.

Wasn't he was out of the NFCCG and Superbowl due to a neck injury? I wonder if that is still the issue.

 

[samwize77]

In the whole scheme of things this does hurt a bit. But, IMHO, only a little. Considering the weapons on offense, and the use of those weapons within a new scheme, and the fact we still have a vet, and maybe equally as talented Brady Russel.....this barely moves the needle. The true pain comes from the lost hope for Robbie. He is more of a favorite than a real force. Still, not good news.

Gotta' admit, that's pretty damn solid.

And I'm sure Rat is smiling right now and running to the computer to tell us he's glass, he's the new CJ, blah blah blah.

Check your PMs please

 

[SoulfishHawk]

My bad. Noted

 

[SmokinHawk]

Can't play a primarily blocking role and be this prone to injury. Next man up.

 

[Gametime]

I feel for Outz. Can't mess with a neck injury. It's Brady Russell time though. Got peed on by a GOAT on the first episode of Hard Knocks so that's gotta be good luck I would think.

 

[jammerhawk]

Ouztz is now gone for the year.

 

[kidhawk]

Ouztz is now gone for the year.

Have they announced that? Although I find that a strong possibility, being on IR now doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t come back. Depends on how they list him at cutdowns.

I don't remember seeing him play last year, he seems to get hurt a lot.

 

[chris98251]

Strong had neck issues as well and they fused it I believe.
