News: Barry Church fractured his right forearm

[aikemirv]

I dont see why he couldnt play with a cast.

Give it 3 - 4 weeks and he probably could - depends on the severity of the fracture.

Rub some dirt on it. We've got some football to be played!

A sports hernia that requires surgery is a 6-12 week injury. Let's hope MO doesn't need surgery.

On the bright side, he should not be too expensive to re-sign.

Rest both of them next week

I suspect rest next week is way too optimistic
I think both miss several games

Thanks for the update guess he goes on IR

This a tough loss for us. Church was a decent player...not all pro, but an above average veteran player.

another hole to fill

Sure, if we're talking about another one-year deal while we find someone who can actually play 16 games in a season.

The Mo and Church news is a big blow. hopefully both can return in December for the stretch run.

 

[LittleD]

They were saying on Talking Cowboys that if the sports hernia requires surgery, it would
be likely that Mo would miss 8 weeks and they would likely have to IR him. He might could
come back for the playoffs but, you can only bring 1 guy back off IR.

Stephen Jones said Church will be out 3-5 weeks.. Good news there, we need Barry for the stretch.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

That's a shame.

Is it one of those things they cant cast and he could play anyway?

I've never broken my forearm so I don't know how much pain would be involved in that or how much it would hurt them.

Expensive outing. Glad we won.

The trade deadline is going to be interesting. Just saw that the patriots traded Collins, a probowl linebacker, for a 3rd rd pick to the Browns. Surely there's something we could do to help the defense. I'm tired of Wilson, Hitchens, and now church and mo are hurt.

That's cheap a conditional third for Collins

Link?

Both of our strongish safeties hit really hard tonight.

You are right. Wilcox was out there lighting people up.

Expensive outing. Glad we won.

It seems like every time we play the Eagles it is "expensive"

I dont see why he couldnt play with a cast.

I'm guessing you've never had a broken arm. In a few weeks he may be able to do that, depending on the severity of the break and how quickly he heals. But the notion that you just put a cast around it and go back about the business of playing pro football right away is not realistic.

This is many times worse than Church...good thing Scan is back right on time and Brown has some talent. Carr is still Carr; watch WR catch and pat down.

Hate to see Church go out and it looks like he'll miss 3 or 4 games. Can Anthony Brown be an option - or are we stuck with Heath or Wilcox? With O-Scan back we have some options. It'll be interesting to see what Marinelli does to replace Church.
