Injury to Pisa-how bad is it?

#1 (**permalink**) -13-09-2004

Pisa, after killing the guy trying to catch the pass, left with the separated shoulder and returned later. In the post game, martz, who is not exactly a fountain of veracity in terms of discussing injuries to the squad, said in the postgame that he might miss "a few weeks."

Lets all hold our breath, we are thin to start at that position and trev faulk went out today as well.

If he was going to miss a few weeks, why did he return to the game and play?

Plenty of players have played after a seperated shoulder.

Game day adrenaline is one thing. But giving the body a new day to complain about stretched tendons, ligaments, and muscles that's another. If it were the playoffs, I'd expect to see him ...

He played later in the game with a harness. Good point, if it was the playoffs, he would play, but we cant afford to lose him long term, better to let it heal a bit and get him back healthy.

Hey serkicker32,

I'm about two hours down the road (about 5 miles from Bear Island, 20 min from Emerald Isle). What do you do on gameday? Go anyplace, or watch at home?
