that doesn’t sound smart, jim
Deuces big guy
This has shades of “JJ Watt back injury” written all over it. If he doesn’t take care of himself he will come back less of a player.
Oof. I’m sure he does not see it this way, but I hope he doesn’t risk his career on what’s likely a lost season
This is baseless speculation, MKC is just shit.
Unless she’s reporting about Baker for ownership. Then she’s well connected and trustworthy. No possible bias there.
This seems like a horrible idea if he can cause further damage or push recovery into next year. The Brown’s ship is sinking this year sometimes the staff needs to protect players from themselves.
Hard to call it sinking at 7-4, especially with an extremely winnable schedule.
Rams, Jags, Bears, Texans, Jets, Bengals are their remaining schedule, and even with DTR (or worse) you probably figure 3 of those are wins at a minimum. Considering the Ravens have a MUCH more difficult remaining slate, the state of the Burrow-less Bengals, you’re basically in a race with Pittsburgh for a wildcard slot, and division title is still not mathematically ruled out
What is it with Cleveland and allowing their best players to try and play through shoulder injuries?
Flashback to 3 weeks ago when this sub wanted Watson’s head on a pike for not playing through a debilitating shoulder injury
This is Mary Kay Cabot, take anything her or Tony Grossi say with the biggest grain of salt you can imagine. This is essentially zero information.
You mean Ohio?
He is 28 and under contract for 3 more years. He’s in his prime and playing at a damn near MVP level. Your Quarterbacking play is ass and your best offensive weapon has been on IR for most of the season.
Why the hell would you let Garrett keep playing and possibly ruin that shoulder worse?
There’s no actual evidence that there’s structural damage, this is pure speculation. MRIs were taken and doctors agreed that there was no structural damage.
You’re obviously not from Cleveland.
I admire the grit to want to keep playing, but I really wish he’d reconsider that decision if the shoulder injury is serious. I get that we’re 7-4 and I think it’s fairly likely we make the wildcard, but realistically this team is not going anywhere in the playoffs with our offense.
Injuries have really derailed this season. Without all these key injuries I think we could have made a serious playoff run. One of those “what could have been” years.
Does not have structural damage…yet
I know you want to set an example as a captain, especially after the Deshaun Watson injury, but learn from Baker. No org, especially this org, is worth sacrificing yourself for.
TBH his get off is so fast that even with a seriously limited shoulder hell still cause a ton of pressure. Might not get as many sacks since without the strength lineman can slow him down better when he beats them but he can still play well enough to keep the defense elite.
Just sit out for the season buddy its not like the browns acutally do anything even if you play😂
“actually likely”
