I been wondering if it was worse than reported. If you look at the play it happened on, it did not look good.

However, can they also be playing games. So they best be careful with that.
Though I believe he could play, rather this week or the next, or not until the playoffs. How effective would or can he be.

He has had a great year as the team have also. So do they have enough to win one of 2 games. NO can be a spoiler.

We actually need the Giants to lose against the Colts. So the Giants have something to play for in that last game. If they clinch a playoff spot this week, they too could be resting starters in that last game against the Eagles.
Giving the Eagles a better chance to win even without Hurts.

Hurts is an excellent running QB. But ALL running QBs are a ticking time bomb for an injury. The history of this league has shown if you want your QB running the ball more than a few times a game, be prepared to use your backup.

Yep. Even a huge QB like Cam, who is built like a Mack truck, couldn’t succumb to injuries and ruin his career early.

Many diseases, conditions, and injuries are described using grades, stages, or types. Usually these classifications or groups represent a range from mild to severe. They are often numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 or I, II, III, IV. Sometimes one problem is even classified using more than one method.

Acromioclavicular (AC) separation was first classified as I, II, and III in the early 1960s. Three additional grades (IV, V, VI) were added in 1984. Type I is a sprain of the AC ligaments. The ligament isn’t torn and repair isn’t needed. Nothing else around the joint is damaged.

:eek:The AC ligament is torn with a "Type II" injury.<---------- The muscles around the joint aren’t injured. Type III occurs as a result of a severe trauma to the joint. Type III is equal to a dislocation of the joint. An X-ray of this type will show one clavicle (collar bone) lifted up above the other clavicle. The clavicle is no longer level with the acromion bone on the other side of the joint.

Types IV, V, and VI are all grades of Type III. Each type is a little more serious than the number before it. Type IV is also a dislocation of the AC joint. Instead of being displaced (pushed) up, the clavicle is moved backward or pushed into the trapezius muscle. Type V is the worst form of Type III injury.

Even if Hurts returns in Week 18 or early in the playoffs, I would expect him to be a lot more gun shy about running the football. This will hurt Filly’s offense in both their running and passing games. Because his ability to run made his passing easier. If he’s forced to simply be a pocket passer we will probably be seeing 2021 Hurts- the one that led them to a 9-8 season last year.
