No word yet on V Taylor. Getting an MRI today for the ankle. Some are reporting he could be out for week two. That actually sounds positive
During the game, I commented to my friend that it looked like Taylor suffered a high ankle sprain. The only ankle surgery besides a simple cleanout which I doubt being the case since he has no history of previous ankle injury/surgery, that would be out for only 6 weeks(still likely to not see the game field for 8 weeks) would be a "tightrope" surgery for a high ankle sprain.
The newer "tightrope" procedure allows the high ankle separation to be stabilized in a flexible manner, keeping the natural motion between the tibia and fibula. Since the fixation is flexible, there is no need for a second surgery to remove the metal hardware. Keep in mind that return to play for the classic screw fixation can be expected to be 3-6 months.

Tretter has had ongoing problems with his knee since the end of 2019. In Aug 2020, he underwent a knee scope to remove some loose floating particles of articular cartilage. This past Aug 16, he had a similar procedure to remove loose articular cartilage fragments. He returned too soon last game. He will be shot up if he is to continue to play. But his issue will be progressive. As a center, this type of problem will affect his base.Thanks @CloakNNNdagger !
Another OL injury that has popped up for the Browns is center JC Tretter (knee). He was LP leading up to week 1 but is DNP this week so far with a knee injury. I read he had knee surgery in the 2020 offseason but he has not missed a start since signing with the Browns in 2017. Could this week be the first missed game for him?
Having reviewed the film, Taylor sustained a grade II hamstring tear. He can be expected to require 3-6 weeks rehab. He should be on the conservative side on return, as recurrence is common, especially when coming back too soon.
I WOULDN'T PUT TO MUCH PROGNOSTIC VALIDITY INTO THE DNPS TODAY AS REGARDS THE QUESTIONABLES.........NO ONE WOULD PRACTICE (EXCEPT FOR WALK-THHROUGHS) THE DAY PRIOR TO A THURSDAY GAME............AND AN INJURED PLAYER THAT HAD A CHANCE OF PLAYING WOULD MOST PROBABLY NOT PLAY BOTH PRACTICES LEADING UP TO A THURSDAY SHORT WEEK IN ORDER TO GAIN ADDITIONAL REST/REHAB TIME. HOWEVER, THEY MAY ULTIMATELY WISELY CHOSE CONSERVATIVELY TO MINIMIZE THEIR CHANCES OF EXTENDING THEIR INJURIES TO MORE LONG-TERM ISSUES.
If he’s kicking all week in practice, why would kicking in a game matter?Culley said he expects Ka'imi Fairbairn to be activated from IR this week. I hope that doesn't mean that they will have him out there for the next game.
First of all, kicking for a week is not how you transition a kicker back to game shape. Usually, the first week or two, kicking should be less forceful and short, just to get the muscles/tendons back to reasonable strength. Kicking in a game, especially with the defense players rushing in, many times requires angle adjustment (also dependent on side to side ball field placement) and therefore adjustment of the muscle groups, which places additional stress on muscles/tendons involved. I can't predict how the Texans will handle Fairbairn, but I have previously given my opinion regarding a prudent approach.If he’s kicking all week in practice, why would kicking in a game matter?
Fairbairn was placed on IR after the season actually began. PUP was never an option. When a player from IR begins practicing, a 3-week window starts in which they are eligible to be moved to the active roster. If he is not able to be activated after coming off IR after a 3 week period, he would be placed on IR the rest of the season.Are you able to move a player to PUP if they start the season on short term IR? Sounds like Kaimi should be a candidate for that move.
The 3 week rule only applies to once the player is taken off of IR, he must be activated or remain on IR the remainder of the year.@CloakNNNdagger it doesn’t look like Kevin Pierre-Louis is back practicing. Does this mean his IR designation is for the season because he didn’t come back within 3 weeks?
The Texans are hopeful that Tyrod Taylor can return in the next "few" weeks. Injury was Sep 19.Having reviewed the film, Taylor sustained a grade II hamstring tear.

Yes, closer to 5-6 weeks because of his style of play.Sounds like they are pushing for a 4 week return. But you suggest 6 weeks optimal?
Hmmm....could this have had anything to do with Miller completely giving up on the play when Mills threw the deep Int?
Aaron Wilson reported: Anthony Miller........slight shoulder dislocation, slated to return by first or second game of regular season. Five weeks would not be considered a "slight shoulder dislocation" whatever that even means.
Additional information I've encountered re. Anthony Miller. Miller had two shoulder injuries during his days at Memphis – one to his right shoulder and one to his left shoulder. He reportedly had surgery to repair a torn labrum of his right shoulder, which forced him to miss the entire 2014 season. In addition, he had a “small labral tear” in his left shoulder that he played through during his final season in 2017.
His shoulder joints have certainly taken a beating.........something especially concerning in a young NFL receiver.
