Wow he got Tyrod Talyor’d that sucks ass
Take mine
Nick herbig masterclass time
They gave our boy a pneumothorax? SMH
What kind of treatment at the team facility would he be receiving to cause an issue with his lung?
That fucking cursed wheel man
I wonder if he could have been using one of those oxygen pressure chambers and something happened? Just trying to think of what sort of “treatment” leads to a hospitalization for lung injury
And that’s what you get for contributing the minimum to team facilities and staff Rooney.

Possible accidental lung puncture?
Well just get BETTER!! Probably Giving you Monday OFF.
Normally I’d be saying “let’s not jump to conclusions,” but I think it’s totally reasonable to lay down a preemptive “fuck Art Rooney and his cheap ass facilities and staff.”
They gave him the Tyrod Taylor special?
What’s next, Mr Big Frozen Feet?
So TJ’s probably got a broken rib they were shooting up painkillers for and did him dirty like Tyrod Taylor?
Get healthy. I feel ok with Herbig, Sawyer, and Highsmith.
WTF his injury happened DURING treatment WTF does that mean
lol we stabbed him. What a joke
Now is a good time to start turning around the record without TJ in the lineup
lol I’m in the OR where he’s at
i’ve heard multiple people say pneumothorax now but where is that confirmed?
that is extremely serious if its what happened
I feel lucky that I love herbig so much that I would be okay with any of the 3 (watt, highsmith, herbig) taking snaps at any given play.
BUT GOD DAMMIT NOT WATT
DONT TAKE WATT FROM ME
God fucking dammit, Perna!
Any ideas (seriously, no jokes) of what kind of treatment he could’ve been getting?
What can’t this team fuck up?
For clarification, how does a lung become punctured by dry needling? I mean they’re the size of acupuncture needles, no? What did the med person do…hit the needle head with a hammer? I’m kinda joking but how deep do you have to go before you hit a lung?
And yes, I have many questions. I have this weird need to understand.
I’d be really surprised if he was getting a cortisone shot on Wednesday of a long week.
That somehow reminds me of the one time that Tyrod Taylor got his lung punctured by the Chargers team doctor. He ended up suing the team doctor for $5mil
Punctured the lung with a needle from some sort of injection?
Yikes
Even our fucking medical staff is a joke now….
Watt should sue if it’s a Tyrod Taylor situation
Yeah season’s over gents
Dry needling and punctured lung?
Sitting at work when an Apple News story pops up “Sports star hospitalized “ and I mean I typically hate the whole teaser approach they take but I’m like, hey let’s see which sport and which star. Are you fucking kidding me
Oh no did he get Tyrod’d…
THIS is why if you want to release trigger points in a muscle with needles you ONLY go to a fully LICENSED acupuncturist and definitely NOT a PT, Physiotherapist, DO, or god forbid a personal trainer. They have no clue and no real training thus no skills to do it properly and safely!
