We had no pass rush, we lost #2 and #3 and replaced them with draft picks who always need time to come into their own (heck, one of the guys may not even play this season). We're hoping some of the young incumbents show MAJOR growth this year but again, that's another hope and prayer. WR? Again, a hope and prayer. There're no top WRs on this team. Nobody who's making DCs quake in their boots, we know we have a deep roster but not a single player who has stood out. CB? We have Kenny....we hope Rhodes can be what he was last year, we HOPE we can get something out of Rock. You get the point. At some of the most important skill positions, this roster is unproven. It was never just a QB away. Sure, if you have a transcendent QB like Luck, it covers up roster gaps but how many teams have that? Wentz wasn't that. Not that I have ever seen. You miss the one very important fact and that is how the coach uses what he has and also to say the Colts with a good QB won't be in the running is stupid. What was their record last year? Did the make the playoffs last year. Who was their QB last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing would be game 4 and he can’t go anymore and he is out for two months. You don’t know that. Fans need to stop playing doctor and developing treatment plans without even knowing what the injury is or what the recommended treatment is for it.

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hopefully tomorrow we get a diagnosis. Can this heal in its own in a few weeks,? Is there a chance of re injuring it? If it can heal on its own then clearly surgery could be avoided. But if there is any chance where he can re injure it he needs to get it fixed. All it will take is the center stepping on it or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that way with a lot of soft tissue inflammation injuries. If it was that I'm not sure they would be considering surgery. Well not unless he had been struggling with it for some time and rest/rehab wasn't working but that would suggest he was carrying before signing. Absolutely just speculation until you some for of diagnosis and even then you're working in the dark. Let's face it, it would be bad management to be fully open about injuries as it's not going to work in your favour as a FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastStreet Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 6 hours ago, chickenMan said: I think part of the reason teams are more cautious now is the idea of keeping your body healthy for your life after football. Let’s say theoretically Carson had a torn foot muscle and still played through it; 20 years down the line he could have massive pain walking on it and have to use a cane the rest of his life. This is a small example and may be unlikely, but football doesn’t last forever and eventually your body catches up to you. I would bet you good money Roethlisberger will be a health nightmare in 10-20 years, he’s a guy that’s played through everything I agree football doesn't last forever, but I also know million dollar paychecks only come during a certain window, as do Super Bowls. Some players prioritize one thing over another at times. Everyone's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think most of us will agree. If rest and rehab will actually heal it he should put off surgery. Bur if it is something that is going to be bothering him all season he needs to just fix it and miss a few games. This season isn’t going to start well with him not practicing if that ends up being the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This option leaves the door open for Wentz to be available for Week 1. Rapoport added that if Wentz's foot doesn't improve during rehab, surgery might be required but shouldn't keep him out of many games. Just a few days into training camp, Wentz was already out of practice. He suffered his latest injury Thursday and quickly arranged to see noted foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson to determine whether minor surgery was needed.

It will always be individual to the case, but generally you're going to try rehab type treatment for a few months at the very least as surgical intervention has it's own pros/cons. Why I think it's unlikely that's the issue here, unless the injury was pre-existing and not disclosed until exacerbated. Putting a frozen plastic bottle of water on the floor and rolling it back and forth under my foot was weirdly effective at helping the healing process.

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think it might be good news they are giving him time to rehab before deciding on surgery.

I hope we don't realize he needs a surgery right before the start of the season. My interpretation is that no doctor has told him that he needs surgery right away and that whatever his situation is is that it could actually clear itself up with rest. No immediate need for surgery at the moment. To me it doesn't look like a major injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think there is a big possibility a lot of Lucks ankle issue was in his head. He had PTSD from all the injuries. It all makes sense. Remember they couldn’t even figure out what was wrong. If this Wentz injury required a long rehab after surgery they would just do it. They probably feel they have a week or two before needing to make a decision. In the mean time We get to learn a ton about Eason. We will gain a lot of info on him. He gets to show what he has for other teams too if he has to play week one. Great opportunity for him.
