Payton on Stephone Anthony's injury - "Fearful it was something worse but we look to have him back sooner than later" (1 Viewer)

Ah...the ol' Payton "Sooner than later" prognosis. Just like Byrd was.

Jarius Byrd was a week away from coming back for a year and a half.

Not trying to get flamed but that doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the nature of Anthony's injury.

It just means not IR, so not a ligament torn (or one that heals better).

Hopefully it's just an ankle or knee sprain.

Hammer meet nail....

My guess would be Stupar. I don't know if Robertson can play SLB.

Craig has played all three LB positions while he was with the Cleveland Browns.

It's the same thing he said about Cooks recently. So I'm cautiously optimistic.

Thanks I didn't realize that. Was it most of the same responsibilities as the Sam in DA's system?

Yeah. Sooner or later means nothing when later is not defined. Typical non-response response from him though. It's been 10 years of it at this point. I don't expect anything different.

No, he is saying something here. It isn't a season-ending injury. If it was, he'd be going to IR. Remember he went to the locker room on a cart. That was my worry, that he blew out a knee. That does not seem to be the case.

The most encouraging thing was that he was in a lot of pain. Kinda ironic how the really painful injuries aren't always long term owns.

We can conclude he's not dead, can't we?

Ah. Proof of life. Thank goodness for Twitter.

Robertson not a great fit at Sam. I think Stupar is a prime candidate, he's a beast for strong side. He's really all we have behind Anthony. Luckily that linebacker position is the first to get subtracted from the lineup outside of base
