Re: RI: Blades to Have Knee Surgery

Those season ending camp injuries are the ones that get ya, and since the first day, we've avoided them.
I'm not sure how mild I'd call this one. He sprained his knee this morning, and apparently the severity is unknown. But it can't be too mild if he needs surgery right away tomorrow. He will miss "at least" 2 to 3 weeks. This isn't good. Thankfully Fletcher is durable, but Blades is his backup and also turning into a force on special teams. Now he's most likely done for close to if not all of the rest of camp. This isn't a huge deal, but it's not minor either, IMO.

I mentioned this in the Devin Thomas injury thread- I'm not looking for someone to blame, but given the consistent rash of injuries we seem to endure all the time in recent years, I do think it would be prudent to evaluate Bubba Tyer and his staff with a fine tooth comb.
