The guy is always injured and when he isn't he takes plays off. I'm so glad we have Cooks.Watkins lmao. Goddamn we lucked out when KC swooped in with that asinine contract.

I keep seeing that Chiefs board post where someone sarcastically asks “backup LT?” And I cant stop laughing.
Hybrid WR/TE... that’s generous.

Hope he’s okay.

As if the injury Alex Smith suffered wasn’t bad enough…there is more bad news for the Redskins quarterback coming out of Washington D.C.
Redskins quarterback Alex Smith is dealing with an post-operation infection on his right leg resulting following the surgery to repair the broken tibia and fibula he suffered while being sacked during a game against the Texans in Week 11.

Might also the Rams be NOW unlucky too ? This injury is sure to have an impact on the awarded Ram Compensation 3rd rd selection that was being guesstimated to come our way in this upcoming draft.Watkins lmao. Goddamn we lucked out when KC swooped in with that asinine contract.
Let say that due to the injuries this season to Tru Johnson & Sammy Watkins the Rams are awarded two 4th rd selections instead of the expected 3rd rounders then the Rams will have to give the Jags our only 3rd rd selection. Thus leaving the Rams with only 1 pick in the most talent rich two days of the draft. Saturday's last day event will be a busy one for Snead/ McVay & Wade.
I going to hope this 2019 Compensation Committee will trend to award the NFL comp picks chiefly predicated on the contracts $$$$ of Watkins/Johnson received. And elide & slight the other elements they have taken in the past like playing time and a postseason awards.

They're going to make it mandatory to wear those larger (extra impact absorbing space) helmets soon.
The ones you see Russell Wilson, Alex Smith wearing.
Although, I don't know if they have enough data to verify it yet, those seem to reduce the risk.
I think Brandon Cooks also wears one.

He definitely does. Every time I see him play I think he's got a small head lol but hey if it's helping prevent injuries then I don't see why every player wouldn't be wearing one.

I don't think many people will shed tears if he's forced into retirement. He should be less reckless with his and all of the players he's injured health.

Damn. Yes that looked horrible.
There goes his 2019 season too. Poor guy.
I know I'll take flack for this comment (in the NFL you gotta fight for every inch) but I felt that under the circumstances, he did NOT need to continue fighting for more yardage. Watch the play again. Fighting for an extra inch is what led to the kind of tackle that snapped his ankle in half.

Do yourself a favor and DON’T watch a replay of the injury.
Would be amazing if he ever plays again.

Too late had people texting it and posting it on facebook all night after it happened.
