Russell switched Gatorade sides because of left shoulder

Wow. PC is the master of cloak and dagger. Apparently Russell's left shoulder had been hurting him for a couple of weeks.

Tjack 2.0 playing through injuries

If he didn't miss practice or have to alter his routine he doesn't have to show up on injury reports.

The opposite of Tom Brady being questionable every day for 5 years.

I re-watched the first 9er's game the other night.
I think that hit he took going out of bounds after a run was when he got is shoulder hurt.
He landed full on his left shoulder, and he never ran much again after that game.
I figured he was hurt, his flac jacket was a lot bigger after that game.
He's one tough Hombre if that was when it happened!
Either way, it just lends to his legend going forward!

There is no such thing as a healthy football player.

I guess this explains the reluctance to run the read option all year.

Wow, interesting. So many cool stories of toughness this year. I still love the Luke Willson story as well.

Cool we won the SB without needing to rely on the Read Option. Of course, Wilson is just a "game manager"

The first game he started to wear half-sleeves, you can see padding under the sleeve on his left deltoid. I forgot what game it was, but it was around midseason for an away game. That's when I first began to believe he was playing injured the 2nd half of the season. It kinda clears up the question about running the read option.

PC said in an interview yesterday that Russell had a left shoulder for the majority of the year and that was a factor in him running or designing plays for him to run.

Cloak and dagger indeed. Good to keep that close to the vest as opposed to giving opposing defenses something to tee off on.

I do know Tampa Bay game he was hurt so badly that he couldn't take off his pads post game. Terry Blount revelaed that on a radio interview a few weeks later.

I would like to hear more about the shoulder. If it didn't get better after several months, doe that mean it needs surgery? What exactly is the problem, and what is the solution??

He hurt it in the Tampa Bay game. He began wearing sleeves in Atlanta (IN A DOME). I mentioned it several times since then. It was obvious to me. Team probably tried to hide it to avoid targeting.

Was it that hit by Gerald McCoy?



I remember Wilson taking a brutal hit from him. Then McCoy got hurt later in the game and Wilson came over to check on him. McCoy later tweeted this:

Yep. He also started wearing shoulder pads that stuck out further on the left side.

Yeah too bad that even after Wilson got rid of the ball he was smased faithfully into the ground.. And our lack of an oline didn't help.. So its not surprising.. Let's hope stuff goes better this yr

Many might have forgotten how dangerous that whole McQ at LT thing was for like an eight game stretch. Russell was getting pounded. Him getting hurt was a legit fear every single game until Okung came back.

He drew two roughing the passer calls and an unnecessary roughness call in that game and probably took a few other shots that weren't called; McCoy got a fat fine for one of them and another a few weeks later on Matt Ryan. Greg Schiano football, folks.

Robots don't feel pain.
The 12th man has much more than a trophy to be proud of.

I'm pretty sure i 100% know when it happened. This is just a guess, but when he made that huge pass to Baldwin in the SF game (50 + yarder), a SF defender absolutely laid him out on what was a late hit, and drove his left shoulder into the ground.

It could have been two fold, he could have hurt it one game and then got it injured by repeated contact on it the following week.
