[Arz101]

I hope not. That will be a blow

Heal fast, Christian. You bring a lot to our team. Does anyone if he broke Larry's rookie record for yards? I think he was very close to it.

Dang. I noticed that kirk was struggling to put weight on his foot as he headed to the locker room.

My initial thought was that he tore something.

SO does this mean Chad Williams with all of 11 catches for 113 yds moves to #2? Does Logan move into the punt return position? Does Nelson with 4 catches for 21 yds move to #3? You look at these numbers and say this may be the second weakest spot on the team after Oline.

Well, a broken foot is better than torn ligaments as far as rehab and recovery.

 

[PJ1]

That is a shame. Was having a good season.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Huge loss if true. Kirk has been improving each week.

Fitzgerald doesn't have the Cards rookie record for yards. Boldin does.

They were just comparing both players through 11 games as a rookie.

My god! This kid exceeded every expectation I had for him. Can't help but wonder if the frozen turf/hard winter ground had anything to do with it? I was really looking forward to see what numbers he could put up the remainder of the season. Silver lining, perhaps it is early enough he can start fresh next season.

Iupati to IR too. 3/5 starting OL on IR, 1 cut, 1 has missed the last 3 games. Wow

Iupati made no sense to keep around anyway. He’s hurt every year. We would’ve been better off keeping Veldheer.

Mike Iupati is injured and is headed to the IR.

In other news, today the sun rose in the east.

Iupati needs to be released Dec 31st or work out an injury settlement now.

 

[gimpy]

Well, which is it, a broken foot or a dislocated foot? Or are they the same thing?

He's a free agent after the season. He restructured his deal in the offseason and 2019 voided automatically.

Only 4 games left... realistically, if a guy could miss 2-3 weeks, it is probably best to IR him and open a roster spot at this point

 

[ajcardfan]

He will attack his rehab

Plus there appears to be very reasonable expectations he will be ready for training camp 2019. His work ethic is unquestionable.

Dislocated is worse I believe.

Like how a broken wrist doesn't put you on permanent IR at the beginning of the season but logan and Johnson getting dislocated wrists was the end of the entire year for them.

That was a dumb move really.

Depends on the joint. I broke my foot and suffered torn ligaments on Cinco de Mayo. Still not able to run and have ZERO explosion there (I'd run a marathon the month before the injury).

Sometimes you can dislocate a finger and pop it back in; the joints are already flexible. There are foot joints that only move 5º that could be devestating.

This is a myth. The frozen tundra went away years ago, long before many of you were born. The field is heated by an elaborate series of pipes below the fields surface.
