So happy to hear and hope this is true. That still must be frustrating for him to have another setback.

True. While everything could be classified as a sprain, they typically call it torn if the stability test comes away well. That said, still not out of the woods at all. I hope it is just a minor sprain and just a few weeks. He's very important to the DL depth and he was looking great so far. So pissed that you have complete assholes who know the rules and play dirty in the pre-season. Karma's a bitch and I hope it comes and pays the Texans a bunch of visits.

Texans had a few dirty players last night.

Gonna be honest, when I saw TD of all people over by the table consoling him, I thought well that's not good.

The exact same thought crossed my mind.

I feel for the guy, I'm hoping he can shake this injury bug because the clock is ticking.

They told us KB's was a sprain too before the MRI. Ugh

Ryan Tannehill comes to mind.

Didn't seem that bad seeing him standing on the sideline and putting all his weight on it. A man that suze coulnt do that if it was really serious

When Kris Jenkins tore his ACL years ago, he actually went back in the game after the first time he went down. Show me the MRI proof that it's not a tear, and I will relax.

Injury bug? An injury on an illegal block isn't the same as pulling up lame multiple times. He was looking solid in the pre-season so far, so it sucks that he got hurt at all, but injury bug = constantly dinged/nicked/lame <> injury on illegal block. Clock isn't ticking on Butler IMHO, he'll be solid enough that it will be more about affording him (if we sign Star) or deciding he's the starter (not resigning Star).

Slow your roll. It wasn't a criticism.

But we've invested heavily in our defense these last several years, it's time we got a return. Fair or not, he's gotta stay on the field, or that first rounder was just a fart in the wind. I'm rooting for him, I liked the pick at the time considering all the questions looming with KK's contract negotiations, but it was definitely a luxury pick.

On a side note I hope Bersin's quad injury isn't bad either.

i thought the exact same thing reading this thread

a torn ACL is a "sprain"

[CatMan72]

Hoping it's a minor sprain, this is a big year for Butler and we need to know what we have in him before we can decide what to do with Star.

I want to keep Star regardless.
