Villain The Foe Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 @nyjets: WR Devin Smith suffered broken ribs. He will miss the majority of camp and is being held in the hospital overnight as a precaution. Cloudy WR picture gets cloudier. Other guys now have the chance to step up. The Jets finally draft the WR that I wanted and he breaks his ribs during the 2nd day of training camp. Life sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 seriously i cant remember the last time ANY jets receiver had a 91 catch 1300 yard season with 12 tds. never mind that he did it in only 12 games. i'd imagine its been at least a decade I'm guessing Keyshawn or Coles.

neckdemon Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'm guessing Keyshawn or Coles. i just looked. and while they had a decent season or 2 neither of them really came all that close to it. keyshawn was closest with 10 tds but fell short of the yardage, and that was in 16 games. coles was close on the yardage but never came close to 12 td's. i juts looked it up and the sad truth is that the only receiver to really hit close enough to the mark was don maynard and art powell maybe keyshawn johnson in 98 but he was short almost 200 yards and 2 td's and that was in all 16 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingToMyGraveGreen Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I have a broken rib and two broken bones off my vertebrae (transverse processes) from a fall off my horse doing jumps three weeks ago. X-rays didn't see it and I had to have a CAT scan. Doctors will tell you broken ribs are the most painful of all broken bone injuries mostly because there is nothing you can do (no chest wraps because they promote pneumonia). The chest does 2,000 movement a day and each one will hurt from discomfort to agony. It depends where the break is (mine is on my back) too because the front can be more easy to manage or if his rib are not cleanly broken and are fractured. At least with a fracture there is some stabilizing bone. In my case my rib was displaced and not in alignment and I'm dealing with that now waiting to it to align which I am told it will. Six-eight weeks is the usual period for healing, but I can tell you after three weeks I'm still needing pain meds to sleep. I feel very sorry for Devin because he'll be deal with three broken ribs and all the pain it will cause him. It must of been a hell of a fall.

UnknownJetFan Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 At this point we'll need Akkim(sp?), who can fly, to hopefully make the team and be able to hold onto the ball on the deep fly and post patterns. At least until Smith can come back and fill that role. If both can even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Even with Smith a little behind, we still added a guy named Marshall who will be much more of an impact player this season. This is nothing like last season. Certainly not SOJ-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant wait Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 With no camp and no pre season, Smith will be extremely far behind the curve. It is unrealistic to expect anything from him this year. Maybe a flash or two in Nov/Dec. We have zero luck. And this is a significant set back for the offense. It sucks not as big a deal as you're making it out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain The Foe Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Just got a tweet that Devin Smith punctured his Lung. Doesnt look good. #Jets rookie Devin Smith has a punctured lung, per source.

Villain The Foe Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Update. Another source said Devin Smith's lung is only "slightly" punctured, and that he'll be OK. #Jets — dom cosentino (@domcosentino) August 1, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thshadow Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 What the heck is a "slightly" punctured lung?? Is he partially pregnant too? I guess what's clear is that the rib fracture is displaced, which sucks, and must increase the healing time. But again, while this sucks, this is still better than a knee or a concussion, as once he's healed he's healed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsRay Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Smith will be fine, he'll be running routes in 3 weeks, and doing mental reps, way too much over the top paranoia in this thread.

Dcat Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Odell Beckham Jr could tell you a little about not having a preseason. Seemed to work out just fine for him. So do you think what happened with OBJ is typical of a rookie that misses all of camp or was it a fluke? If you are trying to prove that it is possible for Smith to contribute this season, then go no further, I agree. If you are trying to persuade anyone that it is likely, however, sorry, disagree. Very hard for a rookie to contribute like OBJ after an injury keeps them out of the entire camp/preseason. Not too many others I can think of who did like OBJ. Never said it wasn't possible. Just highly improbable. Smith won't likely contribute significantly until next season. I liked the pick and was happy with it. Still am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are overstating The Giants also lost Cruz and their other WRs were mediocre at best, the Jets WR situation is far different. At full health Smith was going to rotate at #3 and #4 and would still rotate with Kerley and Owusu/Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Look at Clowney the first pick in the draft 2014 he was hurt most of last year and is on the PUP now in year 2.. The Clowney injury was a much worse. As a matter of fact, there is a chance he may never be the same player. As far as Smith, once the ribs are healed it's over. I prefer this to even a hamstring which lingers. Hopefully Smith will return late in the per-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRONX DUDE Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Devin Smith now has been diagnosed with a punctured lung in addition to a broken wrist. They say 4 to 6 weeks but it has to be longer than that. Luckily with our enhanced receiving core this should not affect our offense as much at it could have. He was looking to be our long ball threat for Geno or Fitzpatrick . I'm not sure if he was going to be handling our punt return duties. This all happened by playing without pads or small pads in a scrimmage. In the future wide receivers should wear a little more padding during these limited scrimmages. It looks like this 2nd round draft pick is not going to be a resource until 2016. J E T S JETSJETSJETS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
