NFL Source: Garrard has knee surgery

Sounds like a cleanup, and maybe they feel they know what Garrard "is" so why not see who is the most ready among Thill, MMoore and Devlin?

 

Lol. Sorry, it's just funny.

 

My take on it is if they are comfortable with Garrard, and he needs a cleanup, better to do it now and give the other 3 more snaps.

 

Good news for Devlin

 

That was what I thought as well.. Still didn't really see that coming. Def wont mind more THill snaps though.

 

Perhaps 17 will get a chance to play with some of the 1's.

 

whoa how serious is the injury?

 

Anyone aside from the Bears writer reporting this yet?

 

Looks like a friggin snow owl

 

This is Tannehill's chance to seize the starting gig. He's already practicing better than Moore, if reports are to be believed.

 

****.

 

This REALLY sucks. By surgery, I am hoping it is just a procedure and not a true case.

 

I'm waiting for another source to confirm this.

 

This could mean either:

If it's bad - 1) Garrard's health is VERY suspect now and Tanny has a real chance to wiun the starting job, or Moore gets it.... and Moore DEF doesn't get traded

If it's a proactive knee-cleanup - 2) They intend Garrard to start the season, he needs less work, and it's Moore and Tanny they have questions about. Maybe showcase Moore a little more tonight and get that trade value up or att least assess him better.

 

Not a chance IMO.

 

Schefter has now reported it. I believe it now.

 

If it's a cleanup, he'll be out for 3-4 weeks. You can abide that with a running back (i.e. Richardson in Cleveland) but I seriously doubt that they'd start a quarterback who has missed the majority of training camp. Unless he's called Peyton or Brady, of course. If the reports are accurate, I'd rather see them cut Garrard than actually start him.

 

And here's a little more:

It just keeps getting better......

 

Probably got injured wakeboarding.

 

Obviously hurts him with the competition, but unless he got injured between Wednesday and now, it couldn't be a big deal.

 

Now I'm reading he was injured. FARK!!

 

Team held a private practice last night closed to media and fans.

So, apparently, from all that I have read, the surgery was minor, though it will likely sideline him for the beginning of the season.

Also, we will not know the extent of the matter until 6pm tonight when the Dolphins are required by the league to release an injury report.

 

Moore by default would be terrible.

 

Maybe it's not so bad. Might be a PCL deal which some players have played through. Most notably the soft Mark Sanchez.

 

Update: PFT has confirmed the report with a source who says Garrard will be out for ""a while"
DANGIT!!!

At this point usher in the Tannehill era

 

He also said he thinks he'll remain with Miami.
