David Johnson - Wrist Injury Thread (Combined)

[82CardsGrad]

I've only seen the replays but there are several stories out there that say he didn't hurt the wrist earlier, he took a blow and was shook up. They said ribs, someone else here said it was to the head. He apparently hurt the wrist on the play he fumbled and that's why he went after the tackle with only 1 hand.

But I can see your question too because it's not obvious on the play he fumbles how he hurt the wrist, which makes you wonder if it was already hurt and they just didn't know how much?

But the story I read last night said they took him in to xray the ribs, not the wrist. Of course if it was the wrist, they're probably not telling us that now since they'd look pretty stupid for putting him back in

BA confirmed that the injury happened on the pass play... Johnson convinced the staff he was ok. The fumble shows he wasn't...

Rare moment me, Bucky AND Mitch all agree.

Its "Bucky, Mitch, and I."

BA was on Bickley and Marotta today and said it's a potential career-ending injury if it's not properly dealt with..

wonderful...

A dislocated wrist could be a career ending injury?Is he a painter

I always thought DJ's wrists were too skinny.

Last year against NE was much more depressing, imo.

EH. That was a gut punch of an ending but at the time didnt feel like anything more than a single game. This feels WAAAAAAAAY worse.

I think the dj Foster signing is to alleviate kerwyn from his return duties. I wouldn't be surprised if we try to sign someone else on the street.

Which would make sense but DJ has nearly no return experience so we'll see.

Let's blame the trainers. Not enough wrist curls in the regimen.

Cardinals' RB David Johnson is having wrist surgery this week and is expected to miss 2-3 months, source tells ESPN.

Cardinals are placing RB David Johnson on IR, per source, but with the chance to return this season.

No Peterson or Palmer getting hurt is the worst thing that could happen... though I must admit the prospect of Gabbert has me intrigued if someone kidnapped Stanton lol

I still say it's more than likely #31 is done for the year ugh

We will be in the playoff hunt and he will come back and put us over the top

And everyone will talk about what a great season it was.

Are you channeling your inner Paul Westphal?

Anybody know what kind of surgery was performed? My uneducated research on dislocated wrists says cast for 4-6 weeks and then rehab. Not sure if his is more severe (longer cast time) but if not, how much time would be needed for rehab?

DJ also healed very quickly from his MCL...hoping the same thing happens with this injury.

Last 2 games DJ has played in...two significant injuries.

Anything wrist related is going to be tricky since running backs depend on so much grip strength and we won't know how long until he is allowed to start that part of the rehab.

Plus. DJ relies so heavily on his stiff-arms. That's where this type of injury gets even trickier.

He's gone for the season... Bank on it.

Yep I've said the same thing.

Unless this team is 7-5 or better & fighting for spot in the postseason it's not worth the gamble & then it still may not happen.

I honestly can't see them winning 8 games this season...
