J.R. Reed injured jumping fence, out indefinitely

[MadMarchHare]

After just about every doctor under the sun (who never saw TOs injury) had comment that he could do further damage and there would be no way for him to play, etc....I'll just choose to wait and see and wish JR the best in his recovery. With all due respect to the doctors who commented, they have no actual idea of how he'll recover.

I doubt what the doctor's said is incorrect.  They were all pretty vague on the specifics of the injury.  But it sounds pretty bad from that description - if the nerve has to regrow to the foot, he must have damn near severed it.

However, since no one knows the severity of it, their opinion is as valuable as the ones who predicted TO's comeback timespan.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid 

Well I guess that football players don't typically rank amoung the top members of the intellect gene pool, but this the football equivalent of a Darwin Award.

EG

How is climbing over a fence an act of an imbecile? Unless he was trying to work on his crane kick while balanced on top, we should just wish him well instead of trying to make ourselves feel better about our own intellects.

I'd say nerve damage counts as "pretty farging severe."

But Kelly said that given Reed's youth, if the damage is relatively slight, he has "a reasonable chance of recovery.''

It obviously depends on the severity of the damage to that nerve.

Just rub some 'tussin on it.

I can't believe people are calling J.R. stupid and a idiot for jumping a fence. What is he supposed to do, live in a friggen' bubble? It is possible for people to make mistakes that aren't a result of them being dumb. If you jump a fence and slip, or get cut, it's called an accident.

shtein happens

How often do you jump fences during a given week? How many times have you laughed at a video of an idiot trying to jump a fence and hurting himself?

Haven't seen that video.

It'll probably be on one of those commercials with people doing dumb things like jumping off a roof on skis or jumping a road on a snowmobile.

this blows goats ....

he definetly was a standout for a rookie. He had an explosive move on returns .... but this is reality. He may never be the same and at the first signs of that, his azz needs to be cut .....
