[DKphin]

First it was reported that Nate would miss 4-6 wks. Now NFL.com is reporting that Garner is going to be out 8wks. When is this nightmare going to end.

it's not just us,there are alot of teams out there with a bunch of injured players...i'm guessing the players didn't keep themselves in shape during the offseason,and are paying for it now...

Those foot injuries suck. Especially with large OL players. I truly think that the foods we put in our bodies now are full of such sh*t, like preservatives and words that are 18-letters long, that it causes our bodies to fail easier. How else can you explain all the injuries all over the place for the past few years. I've never seen more ACL and Achilles Ruptures in my life.

I've never seen more ACL and Achilles Ruptures in my life.

Am I right or wrong in thinking that there really isn't much you can do to strengthen ACLs and Achilles to prevent those types of injuries?

well at least we will have a fresh o lineman in week 6. trying to find a positive in it.

Thats kind of true. But, if you've put steroids into your body (legal or illegal ones) your tendons and ligaments can fail easier.

And, there has been an increased incidence of ACL tears associated with players on artificial turf. Probably due to increased friction that occurs between cleats and turf.

hold on, negative news on no sight of Nublar?

Not really worried about Andrew Gardner and I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back within 4-6 weeks(still at the start of the seasoon) and 8 weeks is still roughly first quarter of the season.

This is Nate Garner, our most versatile O-lineman. AG is a serviceable backup tackle.

This is by far the worst of our injuries. Let's hope he is able to heal quickly.

Hopefully he can heal quickly. We don't need anymore injuries.
