Leighton Vander Esch injury concerns

A spinal stinger/concussion is WAAAAAY different than spinal stenosis. Stenosis is genetic and degenerative. A stinger/concussion is a few week injury. No issue there at all, and I hope he drops. Would love to have him.

I think Jarvis' spinal stenosis may have been misdiagnosed as a lack of backbone...

Cope, if you go back to my previous post and read what was written re: what some doctors were saying about Jarvis' neck issue, you'll see that they were saying it wasn't stenosis. That it was just a long ago healed stinger. Again, not saying that the stinger or stenosis was what made Jarvis suck. He did that on his own ... However, it seemed that there were conflicting Drs' reports as to what exactly the injury was ... Same thing is happening with LVE right now.

Again, I'd pass on him AND Evans. But, if either of them end up as a Steeler, I'd hope to hell to be gladly eating crow come February.
 
So far Vander almost had a INT but no pass defenses and is nursing a groin. I think statistically tackles he is 5 hundred and something if I remember correctly.Per NFL.com.

Like I said a injury concern.

He will be a interesting follow this year.........

the guy I most wanted is a holdout over a contract dispute (Smith). I think the other (besides Edmunds brother who had one of the same contract issues as Smith but the Bills were OK with it) hasn't played a game (Evans).
