gilthorp Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) He's being carted off the field right now. His knee got buckled straight on...he tried to walk off the field on his own power, but couldn't. Just about 5 minutes into the second quarter of the SECOND F'n preseason game and he's still in there. I don't understand this. First sideline report is that they are looking at the ankle and not the knee. The report says they are "cautiously optimistic".

ElkGroveKnez Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 They're now saying a sprained left ankle. It sure looked like he grabed his knee when he went down. CHAD'S OUR MAN NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Kind of a double edged sword. Young Qb needs the work but is risking injury. You can't play the game if your thinking about injuries. Plus if he had more time on the field maybe he could feel the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmike4969 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) From KFFL.com hot off the wire Fri, 12 Aug 2005 18:48:06 -0700 KFFL has learned Chicago Bears QB Rex Grossman (ankle) suffered a broken left ankle per preliminary examinations. While the team has yet to officially confirm the injury, it is believed Grossman could be out possibly three months or longer.

ElkGroveKnez Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 They're saying the new turf at the RCA dome is real slick and not worn in yet. It's that new Field Turf that looks like grass but feels like plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 "it is believed Grossman could be out possibly three months or longer." ...in other news, FF auction values for T. Jones, C. Benson & M. Muhammed took a nose-dive. Too bad for Rex though, hate to see anybody go thru a serious injury, and it would be nice to see what he could do if he could just stay on the field.

Chavez Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 So is it time for the Bears to cut bait with Grossman? I loved the kid's potential, but ol' Coach Chavez always sez "Ya can't help the club if you're always in the tub." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) That's a big hit for the Bears. I don't see Hutchinson being their guy the whole season. Throw the rookie into the fire. Edit: Maybe Jason White will come out of retirement. Edited August 13, 2005 by Egret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
