Hartline out for the year

Did not notice that, but since the back an is intended to be a last safeguard against a fumble return a Safety makes more sense than a WR.
You may know this but the collarbone is the easiest bone to break in your body...
I did not, but have a few toes that are registering disagreement...

I have had one broken collarbone, and more broken fingers and toes than I have, well, fingers and toes.

Not sure when the other play was, but Whitner is actually credited with playing 2 offensive snaps at HB.....maybe right before the half?

Women in London are fighting back these days?

I fell off the table playing with my helter skelter aged about 4. My dad was in the other room, 'watching' me. Mum was not impressed when she came home.
Fingers and toes are usually from soccer, that most rough and tumble of games.

The gods want Dwayne Bowe.
Hopefully Hawk and Gabe are back next week.
Hartline has been terrific last few weeks.

It is truly amazing the amount of support I've received the last 2 hours from Browns fans, Buckeye fans AND Dolphins fans. Thank you all!

To be fair and to clarify, the collarbone takes the least amount of pressure to break and therefore is the "easiest". For sure people break toes and fingers at a higher volume but it's because they are a lot more exposed of course.

any chance all these collar bones are a result of players trying to avoid helmet to helmet?....it is the next closest thing....
Just a crazy guess.....but it makes you wonder.....

I wouldn't have thought so, the padding in that area means direct impact is massively reduced. My guess is just an anomaly, back to normal next year. But we'll find out for sure then.
Increase in lower body, TJ Ward on Gronk injuries will be because of rule changes though.

Ahhh.....the lower body comment struck me as interesting(and true).....with all these guys dropping their heads before the tackle, was wondering if we'd see more neck injuries too(by the tackler)....
Maybe just an anomaly with the collar bones.....seems like a rash of them tho....and Romo did it twice? yes?

Check the video on Romo's injury:
It wasn't a hit to the body, collarbone injuries almost exclusively aren't, it's from people landing on other people, much like Hartline's. Maybe, maybe that's a secondary result of the rule change, but I can't see it.

Instinct is to turn to the side as going down... same as "ducking head" with a head on collision coming. Both exactly the wrong thing to do.
I don't remember Hart's being a pancake like Romo's was (were)... more of a whip to the turf.

Possible...
Injury I have been wondering about are the knees... especially what seems to be a rise in non-contact knees again.
Shoes companies have developed all these one-piece soles with integrated football cleats. Seem to be a "grippier" material (neoprene?) similar to that in the gloves that are creating one-hand wonders everywhere.
Could be the new shoes are back to gripping too well on the most recent turf "revolution", field turf... which is still being scrutinized for toxic exposure to athletes... but that's another topic.
