Reagor just tore his ucl and he will be out for almost two months. Brees was out until we played them in New Orleans last year with this injury as well. I understand part of the recovery for the injury may be positional but Budda is tough as nails.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Well...... Since he never catches (haha) or throws anything, this shouldn't be a problem with the right brace/cast apparatus.

 

[Mainstreet]

Budda plans to only miss the road game against the Carolina Panthers. It sounds optimistic but I hope it works out that way.

How do you tackle Adrian Peterson without a grip ??

You wrap up and hope your brothers got your back. That's all I got.

Why post that on game day?

If I'm the Lions I go right at him.

Seriously..

Unless its to cover for him if he plays bad.

 

[vince56]

Man that's going to put a dent in his interception numbers.

How?

It doesn't prevent him from wrapping up a tackle or knock down a pass.

 

[Garthshort]

I feel that this news only adds to his leadership skills.

Grip it and rip it... oh wait wrong sport.

Watch, he probably going to get his INT today.

 

[Shane]

Well since he has no ball skills and doesn’t catch anything anyway shouldn’t effect his play much.

 

[Bkbobo]

Any chance we put Simmons in there while Budda is out?

If he can play in a cast with a torn tendon why can't he play in a cast with a healing tendon?

Its in a cast. It shouldn't make much difference.

 

[BigRedRage]

Its in a cast. It shouldn't make much difference.

I would think is a good idea to take a week off and let it try to heal vs tearing it again. Once torn, its already torn and little risk. Nothing else can really happen. Now things can happen.

 

[outcent13]

I would put a full club type cast On it where there is no way for the thumb to bend awkwardly and see if he can wrap up in his tackling. If so he could probably play this week. Just my opinion.

Normally maybe, just saying if it's in a cast he can't move it. If he can't move it he shouldn't be able to tear it. No matter.

I know we don't have any depth at CB, but going forward, I think that Byron Murphy is better suited to play safety, rather than CB.

I watch Budda tackle and frankly he has very poor technique but just throws himself into the runner with such force that I am amazed he has only hurt his thumb

I agree. Said same last year.

He's a good tackler. Much more comfortable coming down hill and with his eyes towards the QB. Really not good with his back to the QB.

At best a zone CB.
