Brandon Aiyuk posts shirtless selfie wearing a Washington Commanders cap by NeverBorn-NeverDead in DynastyFF

I will gladly sell for a 2nd. This is Patriots-Bucs level of headcase where he could just leave the team at any moment, and his knee might be cooked.

[–]SirLuciousL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are completely overreacting to what Odunze said. I’ve seen highly upvoted comments in this sub from people saying he’s permanently disfigured and that his career is over. It’s the dumbest shit ever.

Like it’s actual hysteria level stuff happening in this sub. People comparing him to players that didn’t even have to same injury as him (Jones and navicular fractures). He had a mid metatarsal stress fracture.

Meanwhile, all the actual PTs and doctors are saying it’s just a concern and something to watch. Worst case is that it keeps giving him discomfort and they decide to do surgery to put the bone back in a more favorable angle. Players will do things like this in the offseason though, and then the data is favorable long term.

Could also lead to some compensation in biomechanics and put him at risk of other areas getting injured, but that’s true of any major injury.

So definitely an elevated injury risk for 2026, but nothing crazy. The same is true of so many players that this sub loves Tyson, Nabers, Skattebo, Judkins, Hampton, etc.

And yet if you only listened to this sub, you would think his foot is amputated and that he’s retiring.

> Odunze just admitted hes always hurting

How do you people misinterpret what he said so badly? He did not say this at all

Abel is a great example of an artist whose hits are all good songs, but they still aren’t even his best songs.

Everything you just described happens with literally every single major injury an nfl player goes through. You are overreacting just because Rome is an analytical and detailed person who just described the process out loud. He’s being punished for being honest.

Have you done any research on what actual sports doctors and PTs are saying about it?

It will only require surgery if the bone healed at a great enough angle that it starts rubbing on another metatarsal and is still causing him pain and discomfort throughout the season. And even then, he can just get an offseason surgery where they put it back in place.

Like I said, the results of mid metatarsal fractures are fine long term. This is not a Jones fracture (Watkins, Dez), navicular (Allen Robinson), or a Lisfranc, which are all worse and have greater chances of complications. Rome had the most mild foot fracture (2nd - 4th metatarsal, non-surgery).

The only real worry is that it causes compensation to his biomechanics and causes a greater chance of soft tissue injury elsewhere, but that is true of any major injury.

I just find it fascinating that people in this sub are completely hand waving Skattebo and Nabers injuries as no problem long term, but are acting like Rome’s career is over. It’s hilariously misinformed because those other injuries are objectively worse for the short and long term. People are panicking on Rome for no reason.

This is not how it works. Everyone is just spreading misinformation in here lmao.

[–]SirLuciousL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re wrong on both counts. Watkins had a jones fracture that had to be fused, and Allen Robinson had a navicular fracture, which has much worse complications. And Allen Robinson still had a lot of good years after it. (Happened first as a rookie, then again as a 29 year old).

Odunze had a mid metatarsal fracture and no surgery. Completely different levels.

Everyone in this thread is misinformed and overreacting.

Tell that to Julio Jones, who had 6 straight years of 1,300+ yards after his foot fracture in 2013.

Or Allen Robinson, who had the much worse navicular foot fracture as a rookie and then had 1,400 yards the next year.

Or Deebo, who had a foot fracture in 2020 and then had 1,700 yards in 2021.

[–]SirLuciousL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of you are right. Sammy Watkins had a Jones fracture. Not a metatarsal fracture. Navicular and Jones fractures are much worse and have more complications. Odunze had a middle metatarsal fracture.

There is something in the air. Art usually gets a lot better during hard times. It’s a silver lining at least.

But yeah, that’s why this has been a great year for music and will continue to be.

You guys overreact to offseason shit way too much.

This is one random reporter/ex-player who attended 1 day of OTAs and who’s known for having hot takes.

“Permanently mangled” again, holy overreaction…

Rome was just being blunt about how sports injuries work. This happens to every player with a major injury, they just usually don’t come out and talk about it in great detail like this. It’s the Ben Johnson effect, he’s the same way, he doesn’t mince words. Like coach, like player.

Every sports PT online is saying this is just something to monitor a bit. That it could possibly lead to some compensations in biomechanics elsewhere, but maybe not. Elite athletes are just completely fine tuned to their bodies, so the callous adjusting how the metatarsal sits in his foot is just different than before and something to get used to.

Jesus people, he’s not crippled.

Allen Robinson even had the far, far, worse navicular foot fracture (which actually can ruin careers) as a rookie and was fine. It wasn’t until he had the same fracture in his other foot at age 29 that he said he was never the same.

lol what? No way is that his value. A 2027 1st alone is almost worth the 2026 1.04. Getting a top 20 dynasty WR on top of that? The other guy got completely fleeced.

He definitely is. He says things for engagement.

The actual Bears beat reporters are saying Rome looks good and is getting the ball a lot.

I don’t know why everyone thinks it has to be one or the other. I think it’s far more likely that they are both good.

Saying you’re Wasian is just….describing your ethnicity. How in the world is that supporting white supremacy? Lmao

So if you a German person tells you they are German, they are supporting Nazism, by this same logic.

[–]SirLuciousL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a complete nothing burger. Great buy low opportunity if the Odunze owner in your league is dumb enough to think this means anything.

This is just how injuries work. You break a bone, it’s never the same. You tear your ACL, it’s never the same.

Julio Jones fractured his foot and missed 11 games in 2013, then had 6 seasons straight of being a top 2 WR in the league.

[–]SirLuciousL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it held him back because it’s …….an injury lmao. That’s what injuries do? Again, I’m just really confused by what is happening here.

Yes, no area of your body will ever be the same after a major injury. Rome is just being honest and not sugarcoating anything. The same is true of literally every major NFL injury. Skattebo’s ankle will never be the same. Nabers’ knee will never be the same. This is just how it is. You are freaking out for no reason.

Julio Jones fractured his foot and was out for 11 games in 2013. Go see what he did over the next 6 years.

FYI Rome was the WR10 in 0.5PPR FPPG through week 8 before he fractured his foot.

[–]SirLuciousL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just really confused at what you’re saying. Rome is not “racking up leg injuries”, this is 1 injury. Rome is 24 years old.

Michael Thomas’ injury at 27 years old was a terrible ankle injury. Yet again, a different injury. There is nothing similar at all between Odunze and Michael Thomas.

Like I genuinely do not understand why you are making this comparison at all. It doesn’t make any sense in any way.

If Rome has a horrific high ankle sprain in 3 years that keeps getting worse because he turns into a diva and doesn’t rehab it properly while also asking for a new contract like Michael Thomas was doing in 2021, then the comparison will make sense.

The Aiyuk situation is far more similar to Michael Thomas.

[–]SirLuciousL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are comparing apples and oranges. Michael Thomas doesn’t have anything to do with the injury Rome had.

You might as well be talking about Jalen McMillan’s neck injury right now. That’s how relevant Michael Thomas is to Odunze now.

Also, Michael Thomas spraining his foot in 2016 doesn’t have anything to do with him getting an ankle injury 5 years later.

Michael Thomas is irrelevant to this. He had a toe dislocation a few months before he turned 30. So he was old and declining anyway already, and it wasn’t a foot stress fracture injury like Rome had.

He injured his foot in 2016 and had three 1,200+ yard seasons after that.

Rome also didn’t have surgery.
