Was thinking the same thing. He didn't land on his wrist at all when he fumbled... but he did dive when he tried making the tackle...

Great, now we just have to wait for him to be ready to play NFL football. Sitting him out all offseason didn't really accomplish anything. He looked rusty, not ready to get hit, and got injured in the first game anyway.

Hopefully he is now adjusted and ready to go. But, being injured, he probably won't practice, so..............

Honestly i dont really buy into this line of thinking... Many many top flight RBs For many years have been kept out of pre season just to avoid possible injury and from game one they are studs and good to go... Emmitt SMith in Dallas .. Adrian Peterson in Minny... Marsgawn Lynchhad like 10 toiuches in pre season and hadent played in 2 years... Yet looked good to go... Im sure there are many more... Levian Bell hardly gets any touches in pre season etc... Whether you like it or not the team has to protect their most valuable asset and right now that is DJ... He is this team's future and face of the franchise moving forward.... I am completely OK if they want to keep him out of pre season as much as possible.. I think everybody else should be too... jmo

Did you watch the Packers and Seahawks yesterday? Rodgers was picked off by a lineman who then ran towards the end zone. Rodgers chased him and got close enough to dive at him, but he pulled up and didn't try. Was probably the smart thing to do.

I thought he'd injured his sternum. The trainers pulled up his shirt to look at it when he was on his back. Plus Larry's reaction was more than just a "he hurt his wrist" reaction.

That was when he got his air knocked out of him. He played more after that. Well, one or two more plays, then he hurt his wrist on a catch, fumble, tackle.

They were lifting him up by the front of his pants which is what they do to someone who has the wind knocked out of him.

I agree. I think that guy who made the initial post was overreacting to a poor loss.

Cause seriously, teams do this every year, so I am with you.

DJ with two fumbles and a sprained wrist in the first game? Can you say...SI CURSE!???

I realize that. I should have been more clear. I thought the earlier play was a more serious injury and I expect (hope) they'll do an MRI on his chest as well as his wrist.

It looked to me he just got the air knocked out of him. Only other injury could be a cracked/broken rib or a fractured sternum but since he went back in, I am assuming the best on that one.

I'm going to disagree. ..most stars were kept out...and yesterday and Thursday. Stars looked bad! Dalton. Brady. Palmer. DJ. Bell. J Jones. R Wilson. There were alot of bad offenses yesterday

And other reports that he is seeing specialists to see if he needs surgery -- no celebrations until the word is official!

 

[BigRedRage]

yeah I am seeing possible surgery and out for now

 

[Jasper]

So a sprained wrist, but how bad is it?

 

[Mitch]

Man, a poster on another site just said he heard Ian Rapoport say it is only a sprain and that he might not miss any games. Must have been false info.

All I'm hearing is that there is a good chance of surgery??

I cant even find Ian on twitter, his official account hasnt tweeted since 2015

 

[Mitch]

My apologies...I read this from a poster on ROTB and assumed it was true. It seemed too good to be true.
