News: La'el Collins has a Torn Ligament in his Toe

[Slim_JD]

You know he only got blown up by a line backer because his toe was messed up already

Remember all the "trade leary" crowd. They will be very quiet now.

no. they will go yell at someone else now.

vocal people are always vocal they just shift with whatever they need to scream about.

Made me laugh. But I need to point out that while I am and was happy that the FO kept Leary, I think it's fair to say that many among the trade Leary crowd were also members of "we need a pass rush" crowd and viewed Leary as one of the more marketable assets towards that goal. I can't argue against that motivation one bit after watching the first 3 games.

But yes. Happy we had the foresight to keep him or at least they didn't get an offer compelling enough to move him. Don't ant to give this FO too much credit.

Howd we get Leary info faster than Dez?

 

[Denim Chicken]

Thank God for some depth.

I read a piece that said gone are the days of just hoping to stay healthy. It just doesn't happen anymore. More important to have depth than be top heavy.

NFL needs expanded rosters.

Time to take the lambo out of the garage.

That trade bundle with him and Coakley for a 1 just stalled...

We didn't, we got La'el news. Pay attention.

I was OK with it for the right price. I'm certainly glad we didn't, though.

So badly. 45 active is just criminal lack of bodies. It will drastically improve the quality of play we see as well.

 

[Nav22]

Collins is seeking other opinions on his toe. Hoping to avoid surgery.

 

[lostar2009]

For once JJ played the cards right by keeping both guards. This teams has too many injuries.

Just a reminder of how good Leary can be, this is from 2014 Seattle game where he takes out 3 Seattle defenders while pulling.

His power in the running game is fantastic. Its his mental lapses in the passing game that I think cost him his spot. I am pulling for the guy, not sure coming off injury last year he deserved to lose his job but its understandable why they made the change.

This was the first thing i thought about when I heard this yesterday. All the fantasy GMs on this board wanted us to trade Leary and a second rounder for Gabbert or Bradford. Honestly, at this point in their careers, Leary is probably a little better than Collins, and it's great to have this kind of depth. As long as Smith comes back, we are in great shape.

 

[dallasdave]

To @CowboyChris 's credit, I didn't see a thread with this title yet, only the thread about the torn ligament in Colins' toe, along with some speculation inside the thread of 8-10 weeks.

Wish for the best
