No info on JG's official injury, other than it being a "shoulder".

That's good. There's no way he plays against Houston though, he was in serious pain. He's going to need the good stuff.X-rays were negative and showed no break.
I think he and Brady are there swapping faces.Is it weird that he's at the hospital, especially with no break?

Could be getting a CT scan or MRI to rule out a nondisplaced fractureIs it weird that he's at the hospital, especially with no break?
So, not out of the woods yet?Could be getting a CT scan or MRI to rule out a nondisplaced fracture
Could he play in 2 weeks with an AC sprain?Could be getting a CT scan or MRI to rule out a nondisplaced fracture
Jimmy G's shoulder has zero to do with a decision to play Gronk.If Jimmy doesn't play, does Gronk play through whatever he's fighting to give the offense a boost?
He could technically play in four days with an AC sprain, but judging by how much pain he was in on the field I doubt itCould he play in 2 weeks with an AC sprain?
This is excellentI think he and Brady are there swapping faces.
Ha ha. I read that response and for some reason the joke didn't register.This is excellent
You're reading into it too much. He's saying "It sucks, but the team will step up and do what we have to do."McC's generally sharp, but the first part of that is something you say about an opposing player, not a teammate.
The collapsed lung was a Bledsoe/Brady reference.Collapsed lung (PTX) would gave most likely been visible on XR, although small collapses can be difficult to detect/missed. A CT scan would certainly identify a ptx. A small one needs no treatment but any moderate sized ptx requires a chest tube. Not unheard of given the mechanism but it would be an unusual injury given the way he was hit.
Disagree, you just don't say it that way. He made it sound like the good news is Brisset got to play. There is no good news.You're reading into it too much. He's saying "It sucks, but the team will step up and do what we have to do."
You're seeing something that's not there. He's expressing confidence in the guy who has to play, not bemoaning the injury. It's their press strategy regarding injuries, if nothing else.Disagree, you just don't say it that way. He made it sound like the good news is Brisset got to play. There is no good news.
It was too stoic, or the Patriot way to the extreme. He should have said it was a tough break for Jimmy, who was doing so well. The statement "you hate to see anybody get hurt"is what you say about an opponent, being nice. You don't say put it that way about a teammate.You're seeing something that's not there.

No, he's saying that from Brissett's perspective, it's a good thing that he (Brissett) gets to play. NFL players usually have an incredibly short lifespan, and should want to take opportunities whenever they come up, even if it comes at the expense of an injury to a teammate. When McCourty says "We" is he referring to all NFL players wanting to get a chance to start, regardless of how. He's not saying the Patriots are happy that Jimmy might be out.Disagree, you just don't say it that way. He made it sound like the good news is Brisset got to play. There is no good news.
He is the franchise.Is it weird that he's at the hospital, especially with no break?
so do we go "in house" with Brissett or go to the FA route....
Brown's comment rings true and is reinforced by players' next-man-up and champing-at-bit comments.Now the guys on CSNNE say the same thing (why didn't someone ask about Jimmy)?
Troy Brown thinks he's out for weeks; the pain alone won't allow him to play. Troy had similar injuries and couldn't play as a WR, and this is his (Jimmy's) throwing arm.
My goodness, let it go.It was too stoic, or the Patriot way to the extreme. He should have said it was a tough break for Jimmy, who was doing so well. The statement "you hate to see anybody get hurt"is what you say about an opponent, being nice. You don't say put it that way about a teammate.
They need a second healthy quarterback for Thursday night, and presumably for game 4 as well. So there's likely a FA signing tongiht to maximize prep timeso do we go "in house" with Brissett or go to the FA route....

They'll add a body but losing all three QBs to injury probably just means not their yearBrown's comment rings true and is reinforced by players' next-man-up and champing-at-bit comments.
Job 1 is to keep Brissett in one piece Thursday, the following Sunday and probably a couple of weeks after that.
Tom is back in 2 weeks, but Edelman is no answer if Brissett goes down and Tom were to get hurt after he comes back.
Maybe sign Manning?
heh...that's not funny!
