Randall Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 They didn't show the replay here but he grabbed his knee or shin and then went to commercial. No update yet. It was hard to see what happened because it was partially under a few players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I hate to hear about anyone being "on the cart" but all of a sudden I don't feel as bad about sitting Washington for Maroney as I did a short time ago ... either way, here's hoping Leon's injury is not that bad, he's an exciting player to watch.

Randall Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 They just said he has a lower leg injury so that probably means no broken leg. I would guess they xray'd his leg by now. Next an MRI? Would they do one on his leg? He reached for the area just below his knee before going to commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I saw the replay on TV and I'm telling you now that Washington is either related to Gumby or he has a broken leg/ankle. His lower leg bent in a way that is just not humanly possible without something giving way. Just ugly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A broken leg or ankle is definitely a lower leg injury if it's in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Why in the world would you assume that? A broken leg or ankle is definitely a lower leg injury if it's in the right place. Because of where he grabbed after the play. It's just a guess but it's based on what I saw. I only assume they xray'd his leg and didn't see a break. If it's his ankle it's is about a foot away from where he grabbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if they x-rayed it and it was negative they would have said that. They virtually always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) In other news - is this the start of the S. Greene era? Ok, so it's only against OAK, but still - 5/50/1 is not a bad start, with ~2 minutes to go in the 1st half.

Not tryin' to dump on you man, I'm just trying to follow your logic from point A to point B. I didn't understand how a report of a "lower leg injury" automatically meant no broken leg, that's all. The reaction you described when he got hurt is EXACTLY the reaction Laurent Robinson had when he broke his leg in STL and it wasn't reported as officially broken until the next day.

dante Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Confirmed fibula break, and bad enough that he needs surgery tonight in Oakland....couldn't even travel home with the team. A league source tells us that Leon Washington suffered a fractured fibula in the first half of the Jets' Week Seven game against the Raiders. Washington will have surgery in Oakland because the bone broke through the skin, raising fears of infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickvick Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Leon Washington will miss the season with a broken fibula, according to Mike Florio of profootballtalk. Washington will undergo surgery in Oakland because the bone broke through his skin, raising fears for infection. It's a crushing loss for Washington, who has turned down competitive contract extension offers from the Jets. Broken bones usually don't mean long-term damage, though, and Washington is expected to recover in 12 weeks. Shonn Green will get more snaps and should be picked up in all available leagues.

kingfish247 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 So awesome considering I have an agreed trade pending for Washington that, due to the voting period overlapping with this week's deadline, will make me the proud owner of Washington's broken fibula next week!
