Ben sprained MCL out 4 weeks

[Ironcitysteelers]

Why the **** do we have another Thursday game this close to the last one.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Steeler got hit with karma for signing a guy like Vick

Grease fire. You. Fill in the rest.

I know a penalty wouldn't bring back Ben, but clearly that would have been a penalty, and possibly a suspension if it was Tommy Terrific. I know he stumbled but he extended himself into the knee.

Yep...Should of been a penalty.

It's a cookbook!!!. ...it's a cookbook!!!!........doooooooooooomed!!!!!

See the 2 tweets in the first post of this thread. Nothing confirmed yet, though until MRI. Have to wait until Tuesday.

Something has to come out before then I would think?.. Tomlin will just tell us about Tuesday.

TEBOW!

(just kidding, relax)

 

[black and gold apex]

Can we ever catch a break,

 

[mdk2]

Yep...Should of been a penalty.

If that was against Brady. Baron would be banned from NFL. Patriots would also be rewarded two first round picks next year.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

TEBOW!

(just kidding, relax)

I'd take him. Should've cut Jones and signed Tebow when Philly released him.

 

[blitzburghv5]

Charlie Batch ? Hows your arm and conditioning ?

 

[thesteelcity]

You have to start Vick.

At first I was thinking Jones. But...no.

My question maybe should have been more clear,

Are we comfortable with Jones being the back-up?

 

[antdrewjosh]

Yep if that was Brady the guy would of been executed on the field

I keep checking the thread for a updates, so yinz please keep the funny haha comments to a minimum....

 

[warriors42]

TEBOW!

(just kidding, relax)

I posted this in the game thread, and I wasn't kidding. I think his style fits better than Vicks.

 

[madinsomniac]

I'd take him. Should've cut Jones and signed Tebow when Philly released him.

I would too at this point... I have less faith in Jones than Tebow, and I have little faith that tebow is anything but a Te waiting to happen... plus Vick and Tebow on the same team... Lulz galore

He was seen leaving on crutches and wearing a knee brace.

Suppose you might get an inside speculation from Trib/ Gazzette. but that would be it. I think the longer it goes the better. If it was a torn ACL, I'd think it would be pretty clear already. Now that isn't to say that it isn't serious something else.

If he has swelling, they will have to wait for the MRI. I'm not a doctor, but it may take a day or two to get accurate info on the extent of the injury.

Seeing that video makes me think he's putting some weight on it and that's a pretty tight wrap on his knee. If that was his ACL the swelling would be so severe they wouldn't not have his knee wrapped that tight and it would be wrapped in ice to try and get that swelling down.

Hopefully it's just an MCL.

Those doctors have seen enough ACL injuries that they can give a probability without MRIs, I wish they would say if they BELIEVE it's an ACL or MCL injury. I need something to ease my mind.
