    Again, I think Dell is just too small to play pro football. He is very thin. There are giant brutes running around out there. Maybe if he puts on about 25 pounds of muscle.

    Once again, I'd caution against estimating his timeline based on a dislocated kneecap.


    His timeline is going to be much longer than that. I'd be shocked if he's back by the start of next season.

    It's tough for a little tiny guy like that getting hit. What a year he's had since last December. Fractured his fibula, got shot, and now this. Poor guy.

    He could have been Antonio Gates and he suffers the same fate in all three incidents. Unfortunate luck.

    He's good enough, obviously, but it's probably not a great idea for his long term health. I had the same thought when he was drafted. He needs to learn to minimize contact, but that's easier said than done.

    I don't know how you can dislocate your knee cap and not tear ligaments but I'm not a doctor

    Like dislocating a shoulder I guess, which I can testify hurts like hell.

    But knees and elbows? That frankly sounds worse.

    I dislocated my shoulder but they just popped it back in place.

    Knee has to be worse. That injury looked awful.

    "Why do you do this to yourself?"

    "Because no one else will let me do it to them?"

    Mahomes dislocated his knee and only missed 2 games in 2019

    Well that's positive. It just looked terrible. Was Mahomes carted off like Tank was?

    That's a good scene. I haven't watched Lethal Weapon in a while. Probably going to check it out again now. Watched Die Hard again

    I don't understand why many are saying this injury is because of his size.
    This was a freak accident that could have happened to anyone regardless of size.

    I also feel bad for Wayne, he's just a dude trying to play a game and maker a living, but I know that there are going to be some fools out there that are going to blame him as if the accident was something he intentionally meant to do

    Having him returning punts in a game where we can't change our playoff seeding much was next level as well.

    Nope. Mahomes actually walked off.
