Not good.  We really need him.  I'd imagine Tarron Jackson will be called up from the practice squad and fill in for him.   

Oh no. I don't want his career to end this way. One of the best ever to put on a Eagles uniform. Just a great guy. He deserves better. 

Oh Man, so sad, he is truly going to be missed.

This is a tough one to swallow even before you add the sentimental part of it.  He was playing at such a high level and the defense isn't going to have the same ceiling without him.

I don't think I've been this down about an injury since Brandon Brooks.

I'm guessing they get two like Suh and Joseph.

Firstly hugely sad news! Not only is BG such a great guy who is one of the leaders on this team but he was also playing at a high level especially yesterday. He doesn’t deserve for his career to end this way.

On the replacements… Lawson and Houston? I mean the options aren’t great but they’ve got to make moves because we are already without Huff (not that that’s a huge biggie).

I also think the Eagles should look at defensive tackles. On the basis that Williams/Carter can both slide outside on occasion.

And BG was able to slide inside.

Anyone else find Shrager an irritating weasel? I find him annoying generally but talking about the Turpin play yesterday as the best move ever? Let’s ignore and forget the Barkley hurdle then yeah? 

I would like to see Booker get some reps at DE.  He moves well and isn't getting in the rotation at DT

Isn't JPP beyond washed? He's still trying to play?

Clark, Green and Hunt can get the job done until Huff is good

f me

Shame. Would've liked to have seen him go out with his 2nd ring this year

Paging @olsilverhair

Terrible news for BG.  He's been having a fantastic year, which is crazy considering his age.  He doesn't deserve to go out like this...he could very well be back next year, but we'll see.

Did Sweat return to the game last night after he tweaked what appeared to be his ankle?  I was so blinded by Barkey that I can't remember if I saw Sweat on the field after he was being checked out.

He had his ankle taped and came back in

NFL players who have triceps tendon surgery typically miss 165 days from football on average, but can take anywhere from 49–318 days to return. Most players are able to return to professional play. 

 

 

The recovery time for a torn triceps tendon depends on the severity of the injury and the complexity of the surgery. A successful recovery usually takes 4–6 months, but it can be a long and difficult process.

Doubtful. He's out at least 4 months, especially if it requires surgery. If it's a partial tear, he'd be out like 8 weeks, which still would put him out for the season and playoffs. Maybe he could play in the SB if he miraculously heals quick

Damn it. 

Recovery time for a torn bicep depends on the severity of the injury, your age, and your health. Here are some general guidelines for recovery time and what to expect: 

 

 

• Partial bicep tear: Healing can take 4–6 months. 
   
   
• Complete bicep tear: Healing can take 6–9 months and may require surgery

I thought it was a bi but he said tri

Thanks. I think you are correct.

 

A full recovery from triceps tendon surgery typically takes four to six months,

He was playing lights out at his age. Shame it ended like that

The biggest issue with the injury is not only was Brandon our most consistent rusher. But the most versatile too. BG can rush from inside or outside. Going to miss him.

Will be interesting to see if a combo of Booker and Ojomo can fill that role. BG was always stout and smart. Tough to replace. 

I saw him on the sideline getting checked out by the team doctor, but I didn't realize the severity of the injury. This is a gut punch.

BG is great guy and having a good season. I hope this team can win it all and get him a second ring.
