Lynch, Calf, Back and now Hammy

Ruh Roihhh shaggy. I'm worried about the beast. Damn that 30 year mark! When should we expect an update on his injuries?

With our next game being a Monday, the normal schedule is put back by a day. Lynch never practices on Wednesday, so I'd expect no real news before Friday. Pete will be asked in his press conferences, but he may be vague about it. If he practices on Friday, he's good to go.

If It were me I'd just give him an extra week off to get better. Rawls looks good and we have a great veteran in Jackson. I don't care what fantasy football folks have to say about that.

He didn't really play much on Sunday. Clayton said this morning that he didn't believe the Hamstring was serious, but that he was kept out more as a chance to rest him, so he may well be doing alright, especially with the extra day of rest this week. Time will tell.

He got an MRI on his hamstring today so apparently there is some concern about it:

I think that is standard practice any more. They are getting better and better at diagnosing soft tissue problems. If he tweaked it, it's a possible muscle tear, so an MRI sounds like it would be a great diagnostic tool. Better to get a good look at it. That's the problem with leg/lower body problems, if not handled properly they lead to problems in other areas.

After Sunday, I'm tempted to say we don't need him against the Lions. We'll see, though. I'd like to see him active, but not necessarily in come Monday night. Marsh wouldn't like it, of course, but we'll need him later on in the year. I'd hate to compound the problem further.

I love what The Beast usd to do for us, but sad to say his time is about over

Too soon to say that IMHO. I do think that 'Shawn has to realize that if the coaches sit him, it is for the good of the whole team, not just him. He has the heart of a lion, but he needs to listen to the coaches and trainers. I actually suspect that Pete & Co were going to sit him Sunday, but he talked himself onto the field. In the end, we didn't necessarily need him in that game, but I think we will come Nov-Feb.

He's had an MRI, hopefully it's not serious. Doesn't sound good.

We're all rooting for you. Please keep us posted! :common069:

If it's really not serious, that is great news.

But I have no problem if they sit him this week. I'd almost prefer they did, and let the hammie and the calf rest an extra week. It looks like Rawls could handle it for one more week, at least. Come Nov/Dec/Jan, we're gonna need Beast Mode to be in top shape, if at all possible.

In the same vein, the following week the schedule is compressed by a day, so if he plays this week and he isn't 100% healthy it could be harder to bounce back on a short week. Because of this, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play this week.

Yeah, I don't like NOT seeing Lynch play, but when Marshawn throws everything he has into being 'THE BEAST', there will come a time when those little whammies start taking their toll on his body.
I would much rather see Lynch take whatever time necessary to heal up, IF he can.
Sucks to think of the accumulative damage that he's already sustained from all that pounding.
