Hope it's nothing serious, but damn, hate hearing this.

BJ Finley IMO is just as good. Foster, I hear is a leader in the locker room. Hope's he's okay.
 
He can still be an effective leader in the locker room if he is hurt and can’t participate.

Sending positive vibes
 
It would be nice if Bell went to camp to let Finley get used to his timing.

With his stop and start style, Bell is not easy for OL players to time. He's not running wide often, that much Finney should know.

While this is terrible news, B.J. Finney has shown to be good to very good at LG. I think it was against Kansas City last season (or maybe the season prior, my memory is getting bad) where he was downright dominant.

Still, awful to hear and really hope it's not a sign of things to come.

Shazier aside we were lucky to have a fairly healthy season last year. Hoping this isn’t a sign of things to come. Get better soon Foster!

Time to call on Luke Joeckel to come in for depth? Who else is out there available?
