Jeremy Bridges

@bigslab73Thanks to all for your concern and replays! Tore a ligament in my LT thumb, it requires surgery. So they ID'd me!!

Out for the year. Wonderful.

Matt Barkley here we come!

Unbelievable......

Deuce?

ID'd = IR?

If a QB can play one handed, I'm failing to see why a lineman can't.

Linemen grip and grab constantly, especially on the inside. Guys would attack the side with his crappy hand and slip right through as all he can do is club them.

Detroit Lions' Jeff Backus not bothered by cast on his hand

My memory sucks, But I swear I've seen literally dozens of O-lineman playing with casts on throughout the years.

This decimates our Oline even further and kills our depth. Wasn't a huge Bridges fan but this isn't good. Unbelievable.

More D-lineman play with the cast, because they can club, but it's hard for a lineman because they use their hands a lot. Also, a torn ligament is much different than a broken thumb or finger, cast or not.

Cards just went fROM oline to ohno line.

This might be why the Cards were trying out OT Pat Mcquistan earlier today.

This injury is the reason why Neither Potter or Kelemete were put on the Practice Squad. Our OL is really in big trouble.

Yep, we're in big trouble. Even fully healthy most people thought our Oline was bad. Now we're down 2 dudes for the season. We have serious issues.

 

[az1965]

When did this happen???

Bridges is a decent backup... this will further hurt the OL situation.

 

[imaCafan]

Maybe sign Wells???

 

[crisper57]

Maybe sign Wells???

That's was my first thought.

 

[imaCafan]

If you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, might as well get one you know & knows your system....

 

[THESMEL]

well Deuce and Wells took us to the Superbowl! Not that they would return for all the love they got! Ha Ha
Bridges has been so versatile- this is tough. Trial by fire - Rookies to the rescue -
Herman Johnson and Keith are still out there - I think?

ID'd = IR?

No, it just means that the Cards finally remembered Jeremy was still on the team when they got the bill from the Doctor for the surgery.

 

[DoTheDew]

Well many spent the entire off-season complaining about how bad Bridges and Levi were and how they didn't deserve roster spots. Now we'll see if they really are so easily replaced.

The only positive I can see from this (and Levi's injury) is that if by some miracle, Massie/Batiste develop quickly and are an upgrade, we'll finally have 2 good young Ts. Never know in this league. Sometimes you get lucky and an injury paves the way for a star to rise up.

Greaaaaaaaaat. Trial by fire for Bobby and Batiste! If we don't emphasize the run this season if the oline can't pass protect..
