Here in the DC area we had the Redskins' broadcast (Joe Theisman is such a tool). I didn't hear anything about Clowney after he landed on his shoulder and I don't think he returned to the game. Did they mention anything on the NY broadcast? Thanks, DbJ
He was taken to the locker room, they were moving around the shoulder and I guess Clowney was shaking his head. Hope he's alright, he showed great potential!
Listening to the 5thQ on the way back they said "looks like the sholder and socket (separated) but nothing is confirmed yet". I'm hoping he's ok too. I root for underdawgs.
Basically the defender tackled Clowney and both players fell with all their weight onto the turf, the impact point being Clowney's shoulder. It wasn't a cheap shot or anything, just bad luck. Clowney seemed to be in severe discomfort. My best guess is a broken or separated shoulder or broken clavicle. Either one could IR him for the season. Or at least PUP for the first half. Which would be a huge disappointment given how well he's played lately. The diagnosis is a guess on my part but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. I banged up my shoulder on a similar play as a kid and had to walk around with my arm in a sling for several weeks (broken shoulder).
this is much bigger news than any brett favre crap. i am interested in what the situation is as it comes out over the next few days. and a bump to the top for real fans who are interested in the ENTIRE team and not just one guy.
Aside from that one drop that hit him square in the face, he was having a pretty good game up until that point...and if you consider last week's game as well, a pretty good preseason. Hope it's nothing serious, but from the looks of it, he might be out for a little bit.
It looked as if the wieght of both players came down on his shoulder. I believe the ball was up around his shoulder as well. I hope hes ok. He was showing alot of promise during preseason.
Your diagnosis was the same thing I was thinking when it happend. I hope we'er both wrong. It would be shitty for a guy showing such promise to miss the season because of this.
Here is a link to Clowney's alleged status... from njDOTcomSLASHjets Jets wide receiver David Clowney, who is having a sensational training camp and is the team's leading receiver in the preseason, suffered a collar bone injury in the 13-10 loss to Washington on Saturday that may sideline him for at least several weeks if not longer, according to someone with knowledge of the injury.
Clowney's girlfriend was sitting in my section and I asked if she heard anything after the game and she said its his collar bone.
Charlie Batch for Pittsburgh broke his clavicle and the team is considering putting him on IR. ******************************************************* Charlie Batch-QB- Steelers Aug. 18 - 2:36 am et Steelers coach Mike Tomlin would not commit to saving a 53-man roster spot for backup QB Charlie Batch (broken collarbone) Sunday. Batch is likely headed for injured reserve. "We'll make that decision when we have to," Tomlin said. "We're just evaluating this thing day to day."
Also Clowney's mother was sitting in my section and I asked if she knew what Clowney thought about Ratliff and Clemens, and she said Clowney definitely prefers Ratliff.
Clowney's ex-girlfriend was sitting in McDonald's the other day and she said she doesn't give a damn either way.
clowney's present girlfriend was in my section and I asked her about Clowney's wife and she shrugged. She's not that great in bed, in my opinion, she said.
