Shazier misses practice again

Next man up, you know the drill


Defensive tackle Daniel McCullers also has been ruled out for the game against the Rams because of his knee. Cornerback Cortez Allen, also knee, is questionable.
 
We are 1-1 with a suspect defense. I don't get where all this we can beat the Rams without him mess is coming from? All I know is the kid has the look of a damn good player when he can suit up. To this point he has been Charmin soft. Next man up, again.

In my article, I had Mc Cullers, and Cortez being out. Same thing with Shazier if he failed to practice today. This just tells me that his injury is NOT a stinger as reported. He either has a subluxation or nerve damage. Be worried if it's the latter...
 
When he's healthy he's great, but the man is a China Doll running with the Bulls. He's got it "above the shoulders", it's the rest that concerns us.
 
He truly is looking like a china doll in only his second season. I sure hope not. The potential is there but he needs to stay on the field.

I agree with "Steel Ballin" who stated earlier in thread that he needs to bulk up more. Should help with absorbing some of the hits he's laying out.

Agree but he did put on muscle over the offseason working out with Debo. There was an article about that and he was the one that actually put on like 10 lbs of muscle or something like that. If he did put 10 lbs on, 5 more would be about it to keep his speed.

Or sometimes a stinger is just a stinger. I had a strained neck from an F-15 ride....lots of muscle relaxants and codeine....that's the ticket

Thank you Dr X-ray eyes


I'll just listen to the injury report from now on

holy **** - I edit a post and 3 sec later somebody is already reading my ****....I bet it's some attention ***** trying to steal my story to post in his own thread

Guessing this means he is also highly unlikely v the Rats next Thursday.

I see it as just the opposite.

He rehabs this week and is ready in 5 days for the Rats.


Don't you want to beat the Rats on Thursday Night Football and watch Ben and his crew puts up 60+ points?


I am jacked
 
If it's a stinger that is lingering and they want him for Baltimore this could be a tactical move to ensure he's 100% for Joe Sucklo and his band of fairy flying rats. Fingers are crossed for that scenario.

Don't need xray eyes to follow the trend of mis reporting an injury. Our team does it a lot.

You want to know how I know it's not a stinger? He wouldn't be ruled out of the game 48 hours before kickoff. Stingers leave at any time. Something bigger is happening here, and it may take a couple weeks to find out.

It could be a lingering stinger, a little numbness, he should be able to feel his fingers in a coupla days

You're probably right about it being something more serious, but since they haven't reported a broken clavicle, rotator cuff tear, or something of that seriousness it leads me to believe that it may be minor enough to be just a one game healing process. Especially, with this being a short week for the team leading into a primetime game against a divisional rival.
 
i'm wondering if part of why he's ruled out this week is so he can play on Thursday vs the Ravens. It may be a situation where it's painful and he needs time to recover. If he plays vs the Rams then maybe he wouldn't be ready for the Ravens. Sit him vs the Rams and he has extra time to heal for the Ravens, then after that game he has extra time until the next game.
 
No practice all week and had his shoulder in a freaking sling on Friday. That is NOT a good sign for him even playing against the Rats. I'm actually kind of pissed. 3 injuries now in less than a year and will miss his 9th game. Not good at all for his career.

****...this is the first I'm reading that his shoulder is in a sling. Not a good sign for next Thursday indeed. C'mon Shazier, you could be a true leader on this defense, keep yourself healthy dude!
 
Dang, Shazier was making progress. Hope he isn't long term hurt. Who comes into his replacement? Spence???




Salute the nation

Yeah, Spence is slated to start in his place.

EDIT - ...along with Vince Williams.

Shazier still in a sling. They need to come clean with the injury. I am guessing he is going to miss a couple more weeks minimum.
