Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

According to [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2008/09/jason_taylor_could_have_died_f.html"]Redskins Insider[/URL], the bruise to Jason Taylor's leg could have cost him his foot, leg or life. His recovery could put him out of action for a week, or even months.

Yes, I realize there is another JT thread, but this latest tidbit of information is threadworthy.

Noooo :(

Just read the article, this is kinda scary...

re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

THAT'S not good........
I think Demetric Evans started this

re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

We'll be fine. We still have Chris Wilson and Demetric Evans waiting in the wings. Not to mention Erasmus James assuming he's healthy. I guess I wasn't crazy when I said that we might not need him for five weeks assuming he wasn't healthy enough for the Eagles game. Since afterwards we have a strech against the Rams, Browns, and Lions. I guess that this is the worst and best time for JT to be out.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

Holy crud!!! I'm just glad that...........as of right now.........there is no nerve/ muscle damage. Thats the good thing! Hopefully, he'll be able to make a full recovery and be able to sack Romo the next time we play them.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

That is huge. I didn't realize how serious Taylor's injury was. But one of my friend's fathers died of this very thing a few months ago. Out working in the yard, got a blood mass in his leg, wife found him crumpled over and dead later in the afternoon.

Let's hope he makes a quick recovery.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

Incredible. I never knew such a thing could happen. I guess it just goes to show you how fragile life is, and to never take anything for granted.

Wishing JT a speedy recovery.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

get well JT ..

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

It would not be good to have another year to lose a player and another player named taylor who plays on our defense. It would just seem that we would be snakebit. I do hope that he gets well and takes his time. Football is important, but not important enough to risk life or limb.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

Wow that's pretty crazy! Glad to hear he's doing better.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

while something like this is never welcomed, it could be a blessing in disguise. now when he comes back, that knee sprain will be fully healed

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

was'nt there a qb a few years back from nebraska that missed almost his entire year with some thing similar to this?i think his name was tommy frazier???

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

Following the interview with Taylor, Jason LaConfora called the league office and wanted to know if Taylor died, would the Redskins be fined or docked any additional draft picks.

It was just a question... about something he would recommend. He also wanted to know if Vinny could be held personally responsible.

we are going to need a Old priest and a young priest for this postion.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

This is terrible....we have always been injury prone

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

Damn, I had no idea. Hopefully he heals up fast.

lol nice

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

This sucks. Although he's never been injury prone, and said he's a fast healer. I predict he won't miss more than a game or two (knocking on wood). They caught it fast and dealt with it fast. I have a good feeling he'll be just fine and wreaking havoc in offensive backfields very soon.

(A positive mind-set is imperative to fast healing, so I'm just doing my part for JT ;))

Let's hope so. That injury in week one at first glance looked like it was career ending and he was back for the next game. Taylor is an incredible athalete and usually these guys heal a lot faster than others.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

We have been through so much as a team. If another star player (named Taylor) died I would not know what to do

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

Damn, when I first heard about it, the MSM made it out to be just a one week thing, now it obviously appears to have been a lot worse. Hope he recovers quick and can play say the last 5-6 games. That stretch is going to make us or break us probably in terms of playoffs.

Once again we'll be fine. Thats the beauty of drafting and building a depth chart.

Taylor Departs -- Ever So Slowly

Jason Taylor just left the building, and it was not a pretty sight. Taylor's left leg remains in a boot and he was walking with a cane, ever so gingerly and looking nothing like a stud NFL defensive end. Taylor was moving toward his car, finished for the day at Redskins Park, it would seem, and had a team employee carrying some boxes for him.

I am not a doctor and I am not basing this next opinion on medicine or science. Going strictly by observation, anyone who watched Taylor lurch out of the building would find it hard to believe that this is a man who is going to be on a football field any time soon. It was a striking scene.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

I am more than optimistic about Demetric Evans and Chris Wilson handling this position. The main reason the Redskins have kept all three opponents scoreless in the fourth quarter is because of the rotation of DE's and DT's. Demetric Evans is a solid DE and will definitely give Dallas problems. Chris Wilson had a big game last year and should be fine. Let's just hope Stephen Heyer is able to go. I don't know about Jon Jansen.

Re: Jason Taylor Could Have Died; May Be Out for Months
 

i think that if heyer cant go, there is nobody id rahter have than jansen for starters..hes experienced. on top of that im tired of trading for unproductive, injury plagued veterans..ala deion, archuletta, bruce smith, brandon lloyd...the list goes on.
I think it is time for erasamus to shine personally

Well this is the first game JT has missed in like 131 games. Injuries are unprediactable.
