cuwoohio Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 The following from the NFL app doesn't sound like a tweak: "NFL Media columnist Michael Silver, who was embedded with the Jaguars during the draft's first round, said that Jacksonville general manager Dave Caldwell texted him "brutal" in regard to Fowler's injury. Silver added that "early indications are it doesn't not look good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some brutal looking ones can end up being hyperextensions and some mild looking ones can do the worst damage. Like I said, I was literally walking back after a play and tore mine.

miktoxic Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I wonder if they regret passing on Leonard Williams there might be 5 teams that regret passing on leonard williams. man, it seems like every year or two a top 10 pick gets injured in a practice.

tiamat63 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Might not be my team, but I hate seeing any player go down to an injury. Speedy recovery, kid. Gives you plenty of time to rehab, work on technique and watch film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 The Jaguars will still sign him as they should and support him during his rehab. It is unfortunate and Fowler is probably bumming to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Talk about shattered dreams. I am hoping he comes back strong & has a great career, but right now there's probably no consoling him. It's a shame. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Well, at least he was a first round pick, one likely to be given time and support to rehab and have a spot on the team. Whereas Ifo sustained a similar injury before he was even drafted. You have to pick yourself up and keep fighting on. Goodluck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Harsh news indeed, I quite like the Jags as well, any team that puts a swimming pool in their stadium deserves a pat on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
