Trainers need to be shot letting him play Saturday. And Jacksonville can EABOD for the field conditions as well.

No worries, we got Nunnery and Pyburn.

Respect to Shamar for gutting it out during the game.

Don’t know about you, but if I had a dislocated kneecap, I wouldn’t even get up to get a beer from the fridge.

Ok, I would for a beer. But that’s it.

This sucks. He’s one of the few on that side of the ball that plays tough. Hope for a speedy recovery.

I was watching a play in high school when one of the actors had this happen on stage. The kneecap pops out and goes around to the back of the knee. Evidently it hurts.

I know of only one other player who suffered this injury. Wendell Davis tripped on a carpet seam at Veterans Stadium and blew out both kneecaps. That was the end of his career. James is an absolute warrior to have gutted out the game.

He completely tore both patella tendons on that play, much more severe than what happened to James.

You had to throw that in there? We were doing some remodeling. Get off your high horse.

Serves you right for having gone with carpet tiles.

Not a good omen for the rest of the season and some of the high-powered offenses we play...

Was James exactly lighting it up? We all know he was not. Let's see how the guys behind him do.

Well he is leading the team in tackles and assists by a rather large margin. On to the next man up!

Buddy Ryan wanted linoleum, but Home Depot was running a special on carpet tiles.

Not sure what surgery they are doing for this but surgeries for chronic patella subluxations are iffy at best. If they are hemming down he medial retinaculum fine, anything else and they could make it worse.

Replacing patella with a Junior Mint!

Wish Shemar a speedy recovery. Screw whoever was responsible for that field. Thank goodness Mullinz recruiting was so good at LB. Otherwise, we’d be screwed.

Sorry to hear this. Big effort guy and would’ve liked for him to finish the season with an eye toward growth in his technique. Football can become about attrition. Next man up as @Joegator96 said.

You always have to find something negative to say about a situation, don’t you? You couldn’t have just wished him well and thanked him for his hard effort?
