Shaun Cody -- Injured

NastyNate

I go kerplunk
Is this a football related injury?
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.

Ah, Football!
Nothing on Twitter yet. Not that that means anything. Although, it's been reliable in the past

Really hope they are bruised and not broken and the lungs ok.

For his sake as well as much as anything.

Cody is no world beater on the nose, but I would still rather have him than Mitchell and Crick.

They said, in game, bruised ribs. I believe he went back into play. I wouldn;t mind seeing Crick get some playing time, BTW.

BUENO!
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.

Now that your source isn't so reliable... expose who they are! :winky:
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.

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.

I trust Nitro's sources .... hold onto your panties.

I remember the play and Cody pointing towards his chest opposite of the shoulder. I thought oh, crap, collar bone. I was surprised to see him reenter the game. I hope we do not have to find out how weak we are without him. Our LBs will look even worse. Man, we need to draft an Nose.

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.

“@ShaunCody95: Feelin good. Just had a bang to the riblets. Gonna be fine. #swatteam”

Straight from the horses mouth.
That 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.

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.

I think we'll see even more of Mitchell with Cody's injuries stacking up. He's been less than what we've hoped for but the only way to succeed is with playing time so here we go. I don't think Crick is up for rotating at the nose as he backs up Smith/Watt. He had a batted pass last Sunday, again, you'll only make plays with time so here's to more of the mid round DL getting some run!

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 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.

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'm sure he got some pain killers just to finish playing with bruised ribs.

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.

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.

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.

Now, if you then add a "punctured lung" to this picture, that means by extrapolation that at least one of the ribs' fractured sharp edges that were pushed inward into the lung has caused the lung to "collapse" (medical term-pneumothorax) to some extent. Even minimal collapse would still be ~10%. If he was taken out of the game with associated signs and symptoms of rib fractures, x-rays would have be taken and "collapse" should have been diagnosed at the same time. If any physician would have seen this, there would have been no way that he would have been allowed to return and take any chance of taking another hit, even if protected or remote from the site of fractures. Doing so, would almost assuredly guarantee subsequent major collapse of that lung.........a situation that would not allow him to breathe adequately (not due to pain) to continue play and require emergency surgical (chest tube placement) attention to avoid a potentially life-threatening situation. [See below] Even with a lung minimally collapsed, I know of no legitimate health care provider being aware of this circumstance allowing return for at least 1-2 weeks.........and 4-6 weeks for a substantial collapse. [Disclaimer: I would hope that this is not the case, but there is no accounting for a missed diagnosis at initial evaluation]

Bounced around was the wrong term. A part time starter/backup would be correct.

I would like to see him as a backup as well.

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.

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 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.
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.

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.

So can he really be in a day-to-day injury status with a punctured lung??? Sounds pretty serious.

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...
Tony 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.
LINK

I'll also throw in that Romo started one week later vs. the Redskins, and didn't miss a start all season. On the other hand, he only had one broken rib, and I haven't seen any report on Cody that didn't refer to broken ribs in the plural. And I realize there's also a difference between playing D-Line and QB.

Just an FYI, I am N-O-T Ganguli's source... so this means we have two separate sources reporting the same thing.
