Puka Hurts Knee - Likely to Play Against Seahags

[OntarioRam]

"Not considered to be major" and "not believed to be serious" is good. But still ambiguous. 3 weeks is not a "major" injury in my view, but it would really put us in a tough spot regardless. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Even the initial report is unclear and lacking in detail. What does "leave practice early" and "limited" mean? Did he hurt himself making a cut and have to be carted off? (though I suspect we'd have heard about anything like that by now) Did he just feel some slight discomfort and so he ended practice early for largely precautionary reasons. WE RAMS ADDICTS NEED ANSWERS!

Puka is like that sports car. You love the car but when you take it for a spin and wonder if you will make it home.

Maybe media served “by the minute” isn’t such a good thing.

That's my (aptly terrified) reaction until the year ends. WHAT IS WITH ALL OF THE FUCKING INJURIES, FOOTBALL GODS AND GODDESSES?!

Bursa sacks can be really annoying to deal with....feeling great and then boom it's swelling again.

Had one recently, it’s amazing how you’ll never know your bursas are even there until it starts swelling up and getting inflamed! Shit, even what you eat affects it! Had to stop taking certain supplements to for a bit.

Something so tiny can F you walking! lol
Got respect for this type of injury, it just needs time and conscious direction.

Yeah... let's go back to the 60's... Sporting News or Street & Smiths Weekly - we get news that is only 4 days old, weekly. At least we didn't go from extreme happiness to sadness in and hour -- and back again!!

Yes sir! Had it in my elbow a couple times and it's terrible.

Just bumping it can put you out for a bit.

He's got great medical access.

Puka is one that probably needs people to tell him to chill....rather than realizing he should just chill.

While I can agree with this to some extent...I have to say many of those players suffered tremendously after retiring because they just played with injuries.

Like Jerome Bettis needing to walk up and down his stairs backwards.

Many others with issues from a brutal game.

Sources told ESPN Sarah Barshop, an ESPN Staff Writer said he "should be fine."

Let the Squaks think Nacua and Whitt are out then “bam” they magically appear ready to roll at kickoff.

With the way the Rams are when it comes to giving info regarding injuries to their players I won't feel completely good until I see Puka out on the field playing again but this at least takes the sick feeling out of my stomach.

Precautionary exclusion from practice. Staying positive.

Now I will be back to expecting an injury on every snap. It was so nice to forget about them for a game.
