Donald Thomas torn quad muscle/out for season (merge)

[Nobody]

What's the usual time table here? Season ending I'm guessing?

[Indyfan4life]

Torn quad normally will cause you to miss the season. Depending how bad it is, he could be back by the end of the season.

[YOUR GM]

Hey God, HBA here.... I said the RIGHT guard

@KBowenColts: Chuck Pagano said Donald Thomas went out with a quad terror. Season ending surgery required.

[Poster X]

Thornton stepped up, and looked good for the most part. I'm kind of excited to see how he does playing an entire game. Shame it happens due to an injury.

[Conseco]

I just got a text confirming that it is indeed torn and partially detached. This has in fact ended his 2013 football season.

[21isSuperman]

Hopefully it's not a complete tear.  He's one of our better OL

Dang!  Well, at least Thornton will get some playing time

[markabrown96]

Next man up

[PrincetonTiger]

I wonder who we will bring in?

[jamesie jr]

At least we have Thornton to step in to the role. Does Austin take Thomas' roster spot or do we pick up another OL FA i wonder? Don't think we'll keep 8.

 

Anyone think we should get Robert Griffin back?

OL Donald Thomas is out for the season after a quad injury today. Big blow to an already suspect offensive line.

Not shocking the way I saw him go down.

[Bluefire4]

Hugh Thorton time to step up. He did pretty good today.

[austriancolt]

And that safes Mike McGlynns starting spot for another year...

[tyvon19]

overrated anyways

 

the pats have a great o line coach, that's why they've been so good for years. Our O line coach sucks 

[ConBro]

Mods-- could we get a merge, por favor?

We can sense that you have no idea what your talking about. Thomas was solid.

[Gavin]

I think we let Jack Doyle go and pick up a Guard because we only have 3 healthy Guards on the roster, or bring up Austin  Thomas,

[coltsfansince65]

Tore mine in the gym in May. It was a partial tear & healed on it's own. It did take 2 1/2months before I could start exercising it again.

 

Dr. told me I was lucky I didn't tear it completely as it would have required surgery & approx. a year of rehab.

 

Very painful initially for about a week. Was in a leg brace from top to bottom for at least 4 weeks.

 

Not fun.

[Dark Superman]

This offensive line gives me a headache.

, that's great.

I think he/she was. Now I truly sense it is a kid.

I needed a good laugh after a tough loss and that did it. I just have to like that post it made my day.

I think we let Jack Doyle go and pick up a Guard because we only have 3 healthy Guards on the roster, or bring up Austin  Link can play G. Reitz has started at that LG the last 2 years. Holmes can play G. Hopefully we bring in the best OL we can find.

[jaywhy]

#69 Did a good job.  First  trap block got knocked on his butt.  Second trap block knew what to do and executed the block well.  Pass blocking was good ,however, will need to communicate with # 74 more. 

[chrisfarley]

done for year.  it was easy to tell by watching it and his reaction to "it".  no brainer, placed on IR, out 4 season.  We must move on and find a decent replacement.  Not sure if Thorton will cut it..

[atapcl]

Have coaches lost confidence in Reitz at G. It seems Thornton and McGlynn are both ahead of him now.

[austriancolt]

Thornton looked good so far, still a rookie but very promising but we lack quality depth. Unfortunately it means another season of Mike McGlynn starting at the guard position. Reitz and Linkenbach are good to fill in for a few plays but you don't wanna see them start either. Any interesting guys on other teams practice squad?

a quad terror sounds very serious. is that like night terrors in your legs

[Ja'Crispy]

Come back healthy next season, big guy. I'm confident Thornton can step right in and get the job done.  

[Gavin]

;)   I was wondering who would catch that

[Gavin]

A shame, I got to meet Thomas at TC on a few instances and chat with him a bit, sounds like a really nice guy
