If they did and he is in shape it was a decent signing, but no way can this guy play 17 games. I feel like they are going to just hope to get 1/4 of the season out of him. Maybe that is enough time to let Jenkins heal back to 100%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even he admits the tank is getting pretty empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called it a sprain which is ligament damage and from the sound of it two weeks of rest isn't getting him back to being able to even practice.

WindyCity Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Peters is here as insurance against a Borom injury or poor play. They are still going to give Borom every chance to win the job, like they were before his concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Unless he has a herniated disk or something someone is giving Jenkins bad advice. You always have to think like other people. If you are in a job that is part of a slow down or down tick in business that isn’t the time to be calling in sick or taking a vacation. You can miss time, but with Ifedi and other tackles missing at same time you have to know you might get replaced. You don’t have the job yet. You have to think crap my back hurts, but I better take a cortisone or something and get in there before they sign some veteran to take my job. Oops. Too late. Maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Brady plays hurt because he knows he took Bledsoe’s job when Bledsoe was hurt. Bledsoe was number one overall pick and was a pro bowl, super bowl QB. I would never give a young guy reps if I could help it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) If the kid has torn ligaments in his back a cortisone shot isn't gonna heal that. If it's not a sprain and it's a herniated disk he may be out for several months. I went through something similar with my cervical vertebrae about 20 years ago and it took about 3 months of constant treatment and cortisone shots for me to even be able to do my job which isn't playing OT for anyone. Look for Jenkins to be put on the IR soon. JMHO Edited August 16, 2021 by soulman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now...whether that's the truth, or not...who knows? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have moved on to Borom and Peters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now...whether that's the truth, or not...who knows? It's not. Any "back tightness" that hasn't disappeared in over two weeks is more than that. What I've read is they're calling it a back sprain which can be as severe as torn ligaments in his back just as a severe ankle sprain would also mean torn ligaments in that region. I suspect that he re-injured a college injury. As for saying if it was the regular season he'd be playing I'm gonna rate that 4 Pinocchios. If he can't even practice without pads how in the hell is gonna play in a game? Fentanyl? Riding the bike isn't doing anything more than keeping his leg muscles limber. He's hurting.

That was my point. He should have seen that coming. He can battle back, but he had the pole position. He was handed the job on draft day. If you are really hurt there is nothing you can do. But if you were nursing something you could play with that wasn’t the time to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
