Those dang fingers and ankles

[Rascal]

Mike Bell has a fractured middle finger and Javon has a dislocated finger. Javon also has a severely sprained ankle.

Mike's might be serious and require surgery.

[watermock]

At least the offense showed up right?

I'm more worried about Javon's finger... He had enough trouble catching the ball with all fingers working. What an awsome disaster that was!

is that the right link?...I couldn't find the info

I'll give Javon a pass, he hasn't played in over a year in a real game

and Mike Bell...oh well, we have Cedrick Cobbs and Tatum can be the full time back.

they'll just slap some tape on it and tape his fingers together, the ankle bothers me though

The dislocation occured right after his bobble on the sidelines (his first "drop"). He was running a slant and he got planted face down...I imagine his hands got twisted up. He got up and clearly was in pain.

When they severely sprained ankle that is worriesome. Those sometimes take longer to heal than a break. Hopefully its not as bad as first though.

Actually I think it was on the slant where plummer fired it in and hit him in the hands and he dropped it. He immediately started messing with his finger and the trainers worked on it on the sidelines.

Well I gave him his (Javon) pass due to how long it has actualy been since he was in a real game. But to keep playing after he dislocated his figure and keep on going on a sprained ankle that is a class act in my book. You guys that are knocking him may want to do what he did go dislocate a fingure then do you best to sprain your ankle and tell me how your day at work went.

Guess that early bye will come in handy after all...........

Fractured middle finger? This is what denverbroncos.com says about Bell's finger...

INJURY REPORT:

Mike Bell suffered an injury to his finger on the second play of the game, but returned to action to rush for 58 yards and his first career touchdown.

"Mike had a fingernail torn off in the first quarter," Shanahan said. "It looked quite ugly. He came back and I was really pleased with that. He showed some toughness."

Looks like Bell played the whole game with his dislocated finger as well :

Another Broncos rookie, Mike Bell, also had his moments of doubt and pain. Bell, in his first series as a pro, was rag-dolled by Leonard Little just before Little smacked/sacked/shellacked Plummer. Said Bell, "It was my welcome to the NFL, but it's definitely not an excuse. They're counting on me to make big plays and protect Jake....It's definitely a wake-up call." ...

Not that Little is your run-of-the-mill pass rusher. Dude has 63 career sacks and three double-digit sack seasons. Bell said he should have cut Little at the knees, but decided against it at the last second. Sure enough, he, too, sustained a dislocated finger while trying to lock his hands on Little's shoulder pads....

Oh I didnt mean to exculde him because well he did his job and no one is questioning him. People are expecting so much for Javon I was just stating my case.

Good post. Watching Javon play, sure he had some errors in his first game back in a long time, but I can totally see the talent level and upside with him. He will be a star receiver for us for a long time. He will be twice as good as Lilly or Watts.

I didn't mean to imply that you were excluding him, I was just adding on to your post - very nice by the way. I just saw a few people that were bashing the run game, and wanted to throw that out there - that he was playing injured as well.

Dang it.

Tatum ran well, besides that fumble.. im not worried about that.

Javons ankle is worriesome tho, hopefully it isnt too bad.

I also give Javon a pass for not playing football in a game for a year. His "drop" was a tough catch, very catchable, but tough.

Which "drop"? The first one where he had to leap over the defender would have been a tough catch, but the second where he dropped the slant would have gone for 6. The pass on the slant was great.

i was talking about the tough catch.

His slant drop was inexcusable, but if he jammed his finger, i understand i guess.

At least it means he catches with his hands, a must for a WR.

Yes, that was the play after he was driven into the ground.
