Malik McDowell in "vehicular" accident

[WmHBonney]

It is not very difficult to sustain a concussion and facial injuries when you crash an ATV. Even if you are wearing a helmet. This could easily have been much worse. Get well soon Malik.

 

[Seaswab]

Complete moron.

 

[naholmes]

He just put this up on twitter

 

[FlyingGreg]

Malik just tweeted he is ok and should be back on field in near future.

Seems like a little overreacting with this. Doesn't sound bad.

Reporters......

Pete didn't say he could miss the season. Pete was asked that and he said, "we don't know that yet."

Typical shoddy reporting. Malik did a boneheaded thing but no way does he miss the season with the injuries reported.

Kinda depends on the what they mean by facial injuries. If you mess up the bones around your eye-socket you can be out for a while. Concussions depends on severity.

"Near future" and "on the field" is very ambiguous. It's good that he will be back in Seattle soon, but that doesn't mean participation is close or even in 2017.

Ya, just saw it on Facebook..... Whew!!

 

[Smellyman]

Thought this guy could be a trainwreck, but ATV?

 

[Seahawker86]

Everyone needs to keep tweeting him back for more clarification

 

[NFSeahawks]

Some idiot on facebook thinks he means he'll be back in a few days to "hang" with his teammates but not play... wtf.

How long does a concussion take to heal from, he'll probably be ready at the start of the season.

A concussion recovery can last about a week to never.

It is also not just a concussion . . . We need to hear more about extent of facial injuries.

Davis Hsu on twitter is saying orbital fractures with impact on cheek and jaw. If true, could easily be season ender. He could be their with his team mates, doesn't mean he will play.

Being reported from training camp on NFLN.


"Injuries include a concussion and facial injuries"

Pure speculation on my part but I'd guess he wasn't wearing a helmet. If that is the case "stupid move" on Malik's part.

I had hopes that this kid would be an Impact player this year.

Gee, NFL players get a lot of concussions while wearing helmets. And unless you're in some competition, how many ATV riders wear full face helmets? Not many, I'd guess.

He'll be back in a few days, you guys over think everything. He was in a dune buggy accident with no major injuries for godsake.

Love the GIF King Dog.

Hsu makes up a lot of stuff. It could be true, but Hsu is just guessing based on the reported "facial injuries." He doesn't have any more information than any other fan.

Could have got a branch in the face or something on a ATV.

Lol, this is accurate.

Ruined.

 

[Rat]

Concussions have become a huge detriment to longevity. It sucks that he kind of wasted one off the field.

He was probably thrown 30 feet in which he then used his face to stop his momentum from the launch.

It's terrifying but also I wouldn't mind a clip.

In all seriousness we need him. IMO he was going to be an added run stopper which was heavily missing last year for the first time in PC's tenure.
