I thought every injured Texan during the Buffalo game went back in to play?From a reliable source...
Fractured three ribs and has a punctured lung. Let's wish him a speedy recovery!
He is at Memorial Hermann hospital right this very second. I expect some breaking news pretty soon or I'm going to have egg on my face.I thought every injured Texan during the Buffalo game went back in to play?
Indeed. I forget the exact point in the game, but he shed his blocker and made a tackle to his right, landed hard on the runner and was keeled over, very slow to get up and was wincing on the sideline clutching his stomach.Is this a football related injury?
From a reliable source...
Fractured three ribs and has a punctured lung. Let's wish him a speedy recovery!
If he went back into the game with 3 broke ribs and a punctured lung, that man feels no pain
Easily. Hit him anywhere near the ribs. You don't go back into games with broken ribs. You lie on hospital beds and cry. A lot."How do you play football with three broken ribs and a punctured lung?"
"How do you beat a man who is willing to play football with three broken ribs and a punctured lung."
Missed the point I guess.Easily. Hit him anywhere near the ribs.
Maybe. I've been known to do that.Missed the point I guess.
I think my source is pretty solid. I am surprised a report hasn't come out yet but I feel pretty good one will soon... then again... we all know how the Texans are regarding injuries.Now that your source isn't so reliable... expose who they are!

He missed one play and went right back in .... Tough SOB.If he went back into the game with 3 broke ribs and a punctured lung, that man feels no pain
Dude , some people's sources around here are better than John McLaim's .... then again , thats not saying much since all his sources moved to Hickville Tennessee.Now that your source isn't so reliable... expose who they are!
I have had broken ribs on a couple of occasions .... when you are in a situation where adrenaline is pumping .... you can "play thru the pain".Easily. Hit him anywhere near the ribs. You don't go back into games with broken ribs. You lie on hospital beds and cry. A lot.
Me, too.I trust Nitro's sources ....
Me, too.
That is good news, don't mind the Cody/Mitchell/whoever rotation, but think it looks a lot worse without Cody in there.
@ShaunCody95: Feelin good. Just had a bang to the riblets. Gonna be fine. #swatteam
Straight from the horses mouth.
Thanks for the confidence, fellas. I have been wrong before though. Either way... I hope we hear something from Kubiak this afternoon during his recap.
In regards to the twitter post... it's a bit old. That was tweeted 3 hours after the game. He didn't go to the hospital until yesterday afternoon which is confirmed in Vinny's link above (I also posted this thread one hour before that report came out). I sure wish he'd make another tweet.
If nothing comes out of Kubiak's conference this afternoon, then I will concede and join McClain in his prison of errors but until then... I still stick by my source.
AgreedThat is good news, don't mind the Cody/Mitchell/whoever rotation, but think it looks a lot worse without Cody in there.
Cody was a very underwhelming FA pickup who's done a really good job for us over the years, get the feeling we'll be forced to part company at the end of this season although maybe he'll want to stay and sign something that helps the team out.
It may be an upgradeable position, but at the same time you can't pay 22 pro-bowler pro-bowl money so some positions need to be filled by guys like Cody who are fairly average but work hard and take home a lesser wage.
Now that your source isn't so reliable... expose who they are!
I don't thing "bounced around the league" is accurate. He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Lions, stayed with them for 4 years, and then came to us and now he's been here for 4 years.Agreed
Love the effort that Cody gives, I think he will re-sign here because Rick will give hima reasonable deal and Cody has bounced around the league before he found a home with the Texans.
I still think NT/WR are the 2 greatest needs. Followed by ILB.
I've had mine broken a few times, also. Adreneline doesn't usually last long enough to allow you to play for an extended time with broken ribs. Not to mention the fact that you stand a very good chance for more serious, internal injuries by doing so.I have had broken ribs on a couple of occasions .... when you are in a situation where adrenaline is pumping .... you can "play thru the pain".
But .... after the fact , it hurts to breathe.
How much adrenaline is pumping through you once you're well into the game? I could understand if it was the start of the game.I have had broken ribs on a couple of occasions .... when you are in a situation where adrenaline is pumping .... you can "play thru the pain".
But .... after the fact , it hurts to breathe.
Damn Twitter and its timeless spreading of false hope, sure you won't mind but I'm pulling for your source to come through for us and be outright wrong, as I wrote in my earlier post, I'm not a huge fan of our interior without Cody, especially with our current ILB corps. too.Thanks for the confidence, fellas. I have been wrong before though. Either way... I hope we hear something from Kubiak this afternoon during his recap.

I just got onto the board. I can make some comments on what your source may have related to you. I have treated and personally also suffered an injury myself in the past involving multiple rib fractures. It's a very very painful injury, especially every time you take a breath.......and most of us would still choose to continue to breathe despite the trauma. We all know though that adrenaline as Corrosion has already mentioned and "miracle" injections can go a long way to let an athlete "forget" his pain. So, yes, a player could potentially find a way to "play through" broken ribs.Thanks for the confidence, fellas. I have been wrong before though. Either way... I hope we hear something from Kubiak this afternoon during his recap.

Bounced around was the wrong term. A part time starter/backup would be correct.I don't thing "bounced around the league" is accurate. He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Lions, stayed with them for 4 years, and then came to us and now he's been here for 4 years.
I'd like for him to stay but I think we can upgrade that position. I'd like to see him as the veteran backup.
It's all good Mike, I had a source tell me some info so I posted before the season that they were about to cut demeco and Jacoby. Didn't quite turn out that way but he still had good info.Thanks for the confidence, fellas. I have been wrong before though. Either way... I hope we hear something from Kubiak this afternoon during his recap.

I don't read that blog. How credible is it as a source? I haven't seen any other confirmation by the team or player. Although, it would be normal for there to be no news from the team at this point.Sure does:

I had a bad sternum bruise and a broken rib once and I can't imagine doing anything like playing football like that, I couldn't even laugh without pain, even with pain meds.
Tania Ganguli's an NFL beat-writer for a major newspaper. Blog or no blog, she's not gonna go with it unless she's very comfortable with the source, has more than one source, or both. And yes, I think in todays NFL, it is very normal for there to be no news from the team at this point.I don't read that blog. How credible is it as a source? I haven't seen any other confirmation by the team or player. Although, it would be normal for there to be no news from the team at this point.
You win. Nice call.I think my source is pretty solid. I am surprised a report hasn't come out yet but I feel pretty good one will soon... then again... we all know how the Texans are regarding injuries.
So can he really be in a day-to-day injury status with a punctured lung??? Sounds pretty serious.Nitro (msr),
Your info was quite evidently correct........and the initially "missed diagnosis" scenario as I described seems unfortunately to have been the case. They better be smart with his injury.........the "collapsed lung" part of it moreso than the broken ribs.
I realize there are varying degrees of everything, and I will certainly defer to Cn'D on anything he may say, but I found this from last season...So can he really be in a day-to-day injury status with a punctured lung??? Sounds pretty serious.
LINKTony Romo’s late-game heroics in San Francisco Sunday came while he was playing in serious pain.
Romo reportedly suffered both a fractured rib and a punctured lung against the 49ers.
Although Romo left the game for most of the third quarter, he returned and played brilliantly in the fourth quarter and overtime as the Cowboys went from down 24-14 to winning 27-24.
Badda bing, Nitro comes through as expected. [IMGwidthsize=50]http://fc02.deviantart.net/images3/i/2004/09/a/9/Bullseye_emoticon.gif[/IMG]I trust Nitro's sources ....
Three broken ribs. It doesn't say that in there but it's three.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000091809/article/shaun-cody-reportedly-suffers-punctured-lung
NFL is reporting a broken rib and a punctured lung.
