    That's what it looked like to me also. Did he leave his feet too?

    Is Shazier back sturdy enough to help support a 230 lb guy like Rudolph? I thought he still kind of walks with a limp.
    Just saw a pic on a Twitter feed that looked like Shazier maybe holding one side. Obviously angles can be misleading.

    Ok. I didn’t see it live. Probably the angle the picture was taken.

    Seen videos months back with him able to dead lift and might be strong and able to hold him up but dude can't walk right and probably never will. Cool Shazier is able to workout though.

    Rudolph Wanted to Walk Out



    so let the guy with a total of 8 working brain cells at the moment decide anything ????

    he should have been on the cart as they pushed it off the field , let him start making decisions the next day such as what to eat or what socks to wear .... nothing important tho !!
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    There was a short clip of Shazier hanging out with the players during pregame warmups about a month ago. He definitely has a serious, permanent-looking limp. Hate to burst anyone's bubble, but it is a one in a million chance that guy ever plays football again. But let's be real, that is still WAY on the lucky side of an injury like that.

    said this long ago ... he is better off NOT ever playing again ... this is bigger than football if he was able to play likelihood of being paralyzed for life is a far greater risk moving forward than it was initially ... he got away with 1 ... no need to press the envelope ... use this time as a internship into coaching to stay close to the game if you like

    Couldn't agree more. I really hope people close to him are offering similar counsel.

    From the video I've seen, he still walks with a limp as noted by SteelRrserve. Can’t be a good sign for overall recovery.

    A man crying because someone is lying motionless on the ground is not a sign of weakness or softness. It's a sign they actually care about the people on their team.

    EDIT: Opening remark were a little too harsh. Sorry ALLD (even if you hadn't read it).

    Watching him walk tells you that he'll never play again whether he wants to or not.

    It's nonsense. The guy was unconscious for a couple minutes.

    For those who recall past incidents of unreturned texts & calls, I like this nugget from the linked story above that raises the question who is really acting improperly here

    Thomas has reportedly reached out to Rudolph by calling him and texting him this week. Rudolph, however, has yet to respond, according to Thomas.

    dude was just trying to save face to avoid a bigger fine or suspension. he's smarter than burfict is at least, I give him that. But the video evidence shows intent, he launched headfirst without trying to wrap

    Not surprising. He was probably instructed to stay away from all electronic devices until cleared. Screens, be it TV, phones, computers, etc., are not a person's friend while they have a concussion.

    I read in many places that the biggest risk is Shazier having the ability physically and mentally to perform at an NFL level. There is not a bigger risk of being paralyzed anymore than Ben Roethlisberger, James Conner, Tom Brady, Von Miller, etc...basically any NFL player just because he had the surgery.

    Did you read somewhere that there is a bigger risk?

    bones do not become stronger ... they are more prone to injury especially those in the back and neck ...

    its nothing I have read I just know once you hurt your back/neck its never the same again and always easier to injurer it

    That’s not totally true though. From what I read about it, bones become stronger during the healing process (b/c of the healing) but then balance out and become “normal”...meaning they can break just like the did before, on or around the same break, but the bone itself is no stronger or weaker than before.

    hey look I would be HAPPY to be wrong ....

    that said it just hasnt been my experience ( as a guy who has back problems ) and a father who had 2 back surgeries and a wife who has also had 1 ....

    granted they are not " paralyzed" issues but severe back pain and with disc issues etc

    I agree with the back part. I had a herniated disc 20 years ago, no surgery but my back isn't the same.

    Spinal stabilization surgery means he's got a couple of plastic rods screwed into his spine. (Usually on the vertebrae above and below the injury). Those can and do break or come out of place, and it's anybody's guess what happens then. It doesn't really have anything to do with the bones breaking, it's just an extra and very ugly thing that can go wrong.

    I don't think that procedure has even been around long enough (as an alternative to vertebrae fusion) that they even know how long the parts last before they wear out on their own. I sure as hell would not want to be playing football with that.

    Good for Rudolph. Thomas hit a guy in the head that is 6" taller than him, so he would have to launch himself to do it and made no attempt to "seahawk roll" tackle him. Intent to injure IMO.

    Re: Rudolph Wanted to Walk Out

    As for the Shazier’s back surgery conversation, after spinal stabilization surgery he’s not coming back to play again. I am not a specialist nor a spinal surgeon nor do I play one on tv. However, I do work with orthopedic surgeons including 3 spine specialists. I asked the question of Shazier playing again and was told he would not and should not.

    On the Rudolph topic the situation was completely mishandled. No way do you ever let him walk off the field to the locker room like that. Doesn’t matter what he wanted, if the cart worked or not. He could have been carried on the backboard if nothing else. Glad he wasn’t hurt worse than he was. Hope he’s back after the bye.

    No reputable neurosurgeon would ever clear him to play.

    That was a hit on his chin, which would explain the quick "recovery". Like a boxer getting knocked out, which MUST be better than hitting the head.

    The initial hit was to his chin area but then his head hit the turf when he landed. That's why he should not have been allowed to walk off. 2 hits, one of which knocked him out.
