“Fully expect him to play”
Thank god

*relaxes stressfully
Shoulda played it up more to make the Pats question their schemes, I’d have had him in a boot and on crutches at the hotel last night

He’s gonna be fine. 3 days of rehab. Tape that thing up, go be DROY and an absolute missile out there.

Been listening to darkside by draze and my son and I can’t stop saying ‘I’m everywhere emmanwori’ lol thank god he’s playing

Dammit I didn’t sleep well last night and now I can
GIVE THIS MAN DROTY
I can finally relax… had those Chancellor flashbacks
What a relief- I’m excited to see what modern medicine can do in the next few days for Nick. I can only imagine he is frothing at the mouth to take the field on Sunday so really happy to hear this for him
Best thing about MD is his “no bullshit.” So I fully trust him here. We got this shit!
Finally some credible reports instead of just speculation.
Ice up king can’t let Drake Maye off the hook
Everyone calm down now.
You can’t take us down, electrical substation!!!
Low ankle sprain, thank god. Dude is gonna be spending the next few days in an ice bucket.
YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW. EMMANWORI STAYS IN THE GAME.
Bionic leg and all
Thank the lord!!
Honestly, the video of him walking into the hotel pretty much confirmed this. No boot and no crutches after imaging means he would be able to play.
Now I don’t have to Emmanworry
No biggy all good


Thanks for making our nervous system better. Phew. 😅
It should also be noted that he has media availability and like pretty much every time a player is made available to the media, they play.
The main question is how much the sprain impacts his movement. He has three days to rehab so I think he”ll be fine.
Demonwori
I don’t like it
Okay, there we go. Amazing news!
Thank god
I never really thought he would miss the game, but he won’t be 100%, right? Best case: 99%.
Just in case…. Bam Bam Kam is getting loose.
Just unclenched my entire lower body. But mostly my asshole. Go hawks.
Sources tell me Emmanwori is stable
Please god
I will now stop being a Me-Man-Worrying.
Thank you bird Jesus

It is promising don’t get me wrong, but how effective will he be? That’s the big question.
Is a low ankle sprain less bad than a high ankle sprain?

Toradol is a hell of a drug!! Good news
Pretty consistent with what we saw.
