So is Donnie hurt?

[letsgorange]

I see some others noticed he was limping / favoring a leg a bit last night but I didn't see it come up in the post game presser? Was noticeable on TV for sure. Even seemed to be moving gingerly in the post game hand shake line.

He seems to me that he walks with a slight limp almost all the time anyway

Yeah, was going to say something similar. Some guys seem to walk gingerly - some fball players between plays - but then are fine in full speed - not sure about DF

Did you see that during the first 3 games though? Because I sure didn’t… maybe I was just unaware, but I was trying to keep an eye on it from last year & didn’t see it until last night (very clearly)

Somewhat like the old Jim Brown slow walk back to the huddle?

I mean there was the poster that gave people a heart attack when they posted in the Freeman injury thread that he was held out of practice over the weekend.

He runs like he has some hip/back issue.

Did he go down kind of hard early in the game, and stayed down for just a bit longer than normal?

A friend of mine who was there said that was the case early in the game, but I didn’t see it.

Yes. My daughter and I saw it.

Yes. My daughter and I saw it.

It was a really strange bounce on the ground. I saw it too. The way his body moved after he fell was not what you would expect. It’s like he hit and then jerked.

He didn't have a moment where he landed really awkwardly and kind of flipped/rolled over on the floor.

Bad foot(feet)? Something.

It wasn’t there first 3 games. I noticed it when he was half jogging to scorers table to check in. So weird

 

[23Zone]

Maybe more of a strut lol

First 3 games of the year, he looked normal and fluid in his running. Last night at some point, it started to look like last year with him running. It looks labored, and the best way to describe what I see if someone has a pair of uneven legs and is trying to run. Scares me because eventually he needed surgery last year. Last night his movement was clearly different than the first three games could explain why he was hanging outside more than the first three games or his game looked a little off.

If you watch him in the handshake line after the game, you'll really notice the limp. I'd say he is hurt.

He was slow to get up a couple of times in other games and was a bit ginger or slow putting weight on the one leg/foot.
