McCarthy: Overshown knee injury is serious

[shabazz]

9 months will be the middle of Sept.

Not sure how much we will be able to count on him next year.

I hate to bring the receipts, but I argued with several here that considering this LB Corp above average was fools gold.

Kendricks is past his prime and just plain slow. Overshown is extremely talented but injury prone and Liufau inexperience gets exploited every game.

This group is not an area of strength and needs to be addressed as much as the DT position

Two ACL’s in 2 years is bound to affect his ability to return to form. He could have become a great player, but it’s not looking good. He can’t stay healthy.

Nobody can stay healthy when they get their leg rolled up on like that.

This is terrible. I wasn't happy about last year but he's been my favorite defensive player this year, and I think he had a real shot at making the pro bowl. I hope he can get back to where he was this year. You just never know with knee injuries and speed being a huge part of his game.

He could have? Dude is still young I'd leave that up to him and GOD and speak more positive and say he'll overcome this

He's too small to be a linebacker and take on the lineman in the run game, this will always be the risk. I'm not sure how to use a guy like him properly

He bulked up to 240 for this season. He's big enough. Plenty of LBs across the league that weigh less than that. Maybe he's not a Mike but can play on the second level, especially with how fast and instinctive he is.

He apparently got hurt this time with guys rolling on his leg. Anyone can injure their knee in that situation.

Poor guy, hope the next fit him personally and his career

 

[JeffInDC]

Too light to be a starter

Liafau's like 230-235. How is that too light? Fred Warner is 235. OR, were you referring to Overshown?

 

[McKDaddy]

Some players have brutal luck & some seem to skate thru their career with hardly any injuries. No way to know. You just have to draft good players & hope for the best.

P.S. - All the more reason he should have gotten the Thanksgiving Day Player of the game. Would have lived on in archival footage.

Unbelievable

I feel for the kid. He was headed for star status.

 

[Mcsports]

They can get injured on any given play.

Yes. Many get injured on non-contact plays.

Correct, it was more bad luck. Anyone saying he's injury prone or brittle is an idiot

Its obvious to any fan that the linebackers will have to be re-worked with this devastating injury.

100%.........has nothing to do with injury prone. Just a bad luck freak accident.

More bad luck than injury prone, I mean, dude had big azz OL fall on his knee while he was engaged with another OL. Waiting on those to say it's not as severe as the doctors think.

Praying for him

Ive read reports that it’s more than that ACL. So possibly MCL as well. Not looking good

 

[erod]

My favorite player on the team. Feel horrible for him.

Was hoping for just an MCL. But, he'll be back, might want to skip next season tho.
