Herbert Injury Thread

[21&500]

I’m rather have Herbert with cracked rib cartilage than having a double concussion like Tua or with a destroyed knee like Burrow.

QB is a tough job when you look at the injuries these guys take without complaint. These are life altering injuries.

Don't forget Tua also had a major hip injury already.
looks fully healed, assuming you believe in "fully healed"

He also had ankle surgery while at Alabama.

Tua got whip-slapped against the ground something vicious. don’t think it was all intentional, and don’t think the DT was too concerned about going easy either. The way he ended up grabbing and whipping him around his own torso and downward caused one wicked head slap with the ground though. Damn.

I thought the team said last weeks wobbly woozy stagger was a hurt back, not concussion. I don’t believe it, but i recal hearin that official version somewhere

You could never convince me that there should not have been a flag thrown on the play for unnecessary roughness! If the guy is concussed on the play after being slammed to the ground, thats unnecessary roughness! Was there a flag thrown?? The whole scene was so chaotic???

No flag on that play.
It is football !

That dude slammed him like he was slapping a wet towel on a bench - vicious. But the DT was out of clean position with bad side angle due to the semi-fail block. He reached out sideways to grab him and when he flipped him back in torwards his strength base it just seemed like instinct reflex. Tua got ragdolled.

How intentional - beats me. Wouldn’t have surprised me if there was a flag, it looked within the scope of modern football’s randomly varying never-clear definition of QB roughness.

He wasn’t flagged. Nor was Danna for his hit on Herbert. It seems the rules to protect QBs aren’t working

Looked like the D was trying to use Tua to put a hole in the field. He swung him like a pick. That should be illegal. It was totally unnecessary.
