Sheldon Rankins Injured

frydaddy · 08-15-2016, 10:16 PM

The Broncos lost Vance Walker for the season due to a torn acl. The Bengals lost Andrew Billings, most likely for the season, due to a torn meniscus. Both happened today.

I hate that Rankins got hurt, but I'll take a broken bone any day over what either of the above suffered. Not to mention Kikaha. Even if it takes the full 8 weeks we still get close to 3 quarters of the season with him. We may not have dodged the bullet, but to quote the black knight, "it's just a flesh wound."

I thought it was already predetermined that he was done for the year.

He's in for surgery asap and then it's a 6-8 week recovery time.

Not promising anything, but T.O had the same injury in 2004 and came back 6 weeks later recording 144 yards in a superbowl.
