Butler and Bradberry could be out on Sunday

[TheSpecialJuan]

That's just the way our season has gone.

Yeah it kills me how people take turf toe lightly. I guess the layman's "turf toe" label makes it seem insignificant, but just google that poo.

 

For a position such as corner, where change of direction and acceleration are the most important abilities needed, spraining/hyper-extending your big toe is a devastating injury. 

 

Bradberry needs to be 100% before he can help us out there.

Toe injuries often become career ending. Players miss several games over 2 to 3 years to have it improve, if it ever does. CBs because of the back peddling and driving on routes and linemen because of their weight are not likely to return to form ever.

Where have you ever seen a Cb say "I'm hanging the cleats up because of turf toe"

Or "I lost a step because if turf toe"

Show me a player that is documented that lost a step or decrease in production for years after turf toe

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT VERY SMART DONT TRY AND REASON WITH THEM!

[Proudiddy]

Honestly, once they said it was turf toe, I didnt expect Bradberry to play much the rest of the season OR if he did, hye wouldnt be 100%.  From everything i've ever heard about it, its a chronic thing that doesnt really heal in one season.

Butler...  meh...

Turf toe ended Jonathan Ogden's HOF career early 

Turf toe has actually been the injury that ended several HOF careers.  Granted they were older players though...but turf toe has been the nail in coffins

This is totally unnecessary. No reason for this type of language up in here. Be an idiot all you want, no one can stop you. But using this type of language has to stop.

Older is correct. If this was early in Ogden's career, he wouldn't have retired. He played 12 years until he was 33. While it may have been the final nail in the coffin, I looked at 2 guys I posted about in the Joe Thomas thread (Ogden, Pace and Munoz were my examples) and they retired at 34. I'm not sure I would call it "ending his career early" more like making him realize he was a year or so away and not worth playing hurt anymore.

Ogden's retirement has 0 to do with Bradberry.

Well he simply said people couldn't name guys who hung it up because of turf toe.  People have.  

Most young guys keep playing through them (all legit injuries) early on so most examples of any injury the tap outs will likely come later on when they get older.  

Hard to say they aren't impactful at all ages though IMO.  I'm sure there are lot of young guys whose careers never got on the map because of all sorts of injuries (hence why the average career is 2-3 years).  I'm sure there are some turf toe related guys in that mold.  Since they likely never got going and ended up cut....most of the career ending ones that you can google will be for guys late in careers

Darren McFadden had a turf toe injury as a rookie and it plagued him for literally years.  Could argued that injury prevented his career from ever taking off.  He missed time 2-3 years after the initial injury because it would never heal correctly I believe

Just now, stbugs said:

Yeah, but let's be honest, he's talking more about ending a career way before retirement is even a though. Bradberry's 23, he's got another 10 years before he retires "early" like Ogden.

Well guys want that check.  Simple and plain.  So they will do anything to simply be on a roster while young.

Myles Garrett train! Toot toot!
