Chandler Jones out for a month?
- Thread starter mikeford
- Start date
Just lovely. Chicago, Den, Bye, Indy and then Det and GB.
Hopefully back by Thanksgiving weekend.

Jets game was on October 16th, and the Colts game after the bye week is on November 16th, so it's conceivable this could only cost him three games.
Unless Easley can actually play DE the failure to add depth at that spot this offseason is kind of ridiculous.
Perhaps, but there are 6-8 starters that are a liability against the pass.RedOctober3829 said:
He's also quite good in the ST
Jones played the final defensive snap of the game, but there was this...

Going to be interesting if they will use blitzes more now to create pressure. No way can they create enough with whoever is on the front 4.
There's been some lining up of Easley at DL. He's been a real disappointment in the middle, clearly needs to bulk off if he's going to have an impact long-term. But in the short-term maybe he can hold an edge at the end and get some push?
Beyond that, hard to see Zach Moore making an impact any more than Michael Sam would.

If he's out a month, possible he'll be able to play by IND (November 16th). No Jones for the Broncos sucks hardcore though.BigSoxFan said:

Not really--it's incredibly hard to get good edge players in the NFL.

Sigh. I'm trying to look on the bright side--at least Siliga and Jones's injuries aren't season-ending, and Stork and Connelly were back today (as were Ebner and Fleming, though who cares about them).
Injuries are just part of the random element in football, but boy do they suck.
Yes you're right. He was out starting Week 4. He can return to practice in Week 10 and not eligible to play until Week 12 vs. Detroit.Stitch01 said:

Ugh. Going to hope Howe really does mean "regular season" and not "season."
I just read on rotoworld that Jones' season may be lost. That would *suck*. Just once I'd like to see the Patriots get through a season relatively unscathed in terms of injuries. Just once. If Jones is lost, that's three of their best players - Jones/Ridley/Mayo lost for the year.
I know this team is built to overcome the injuries that accumulate over the course of a season, but losing all this manpower really hurts come playoff time.
So frustrating. :angry:

No, I know. My question is: what is wrong with his hip? We have these scoops about timetables, but nothing about why.
I'm just whining, you guys.

This team gets devastated year after year. I know it's the NFL and injuries happen, but fuck. If it's the entire regular season, I suspect Bill will just IR him. I wasn't a huge fan of using DtR on Siliga, and this is why.
I can usually put forth a good estimation of what an injury is based on body part/timetable, but I'm kind of lost with this one. It almost sounds like some sort of fracture given the timeframe, but you can usually put a more definitive timeframe on those.
Part of me is worried that they know his season is over but they're not making any definitive moves until after the trade deadline to preserve whatever leverage they may have

If they want to hold Jones' spot, they certainly have options - Butler, Barker, Devey, etc.Ed Hillel said:
Didn't he play a couple of snaps after the injury to close out the game? Would a hip fracture be too painful to remain on the field after the injury?DaveRoberts'Shoes said:

Didn't make it inside. But Chandler Jones and Sealver Siliga were at Patriots walkthrough.

FOXBORO – Chandler Jones’ progress coming back from his hip injury is picking up.
The Patriots defensive end’s rehab recently was expanded to include running and there’s optimism Jones may return for the final quarter of the regular season.
