What the WFT is a "weak shoulder", re: Shazier??

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

I mean, is there a torn muscle, is there nerve damage (I guess there must be, but why?), what is actually going on ... has anyone heard anything besides "Weak Shoulder"???

It IS frustrating. First we heard that the shoulder was no big deal. Then he didn't practice, misses the Rams and is in a sling. Now he's missing the Rats? What's next? Season-ending surgery?

If anyone's ever had a "stinger" this is very consistent with that injury. Pretty sure a nerve gets impinged or trapped and causes the pain/weakness.

It doesn't sound like a standard shoulder injury like rotator cuff or AC joint, but who knows.

My thoughts as well, but with symptoms lasting this long? Has it crossed the line from "stinger" to severe traumatic nerve injury?

(PS ... anyone have film on his last play on the field in the 49's game?)

is the shoulder muscle attached to the vag muscle?

I know mine is. This is why I'm always asking my wife for a shoulder rub

[Eddie Spaghetti]

when I saw his arm in that sling, I got very worried

Hopefully he's back for San Diego

I never understood why males stereotypically think women are incapable of withstanding pain...they give birth for God's sake...

What's the big deal? We never question anything about a Linebacker picked in the 1st Round if he has an injury in Year 2...it's a pass year and all is good. Won't really need to show anything but gradual improvement in Year 3 and all is still good. Lay off Shazier.

Again, which is more concerning:

A freak, catastrophic, IR level injury?

or

A series of smaller injuries that happen to make a player miss a few games here or there?

a series of smaller injuries is more concerning IMO.

IR injuries are obvious and the time missed is pretty much set in stone.

With smaller injuries we have no idea if and when they return and then another pops up and you never get a chance to form a good chemistry with the players on the field.

I always had a good laugh at Jack Lambert saying to put QBs in dresses when, a short time afterward, a sore toe ended his career...

Never said the name. I am officially a convert. I have zero expectations beyond just play better against the run.
