Per @John Keim Twitter: Meriweather Torn ACL

[MrJL]

well, Gomes had a nice hit yesterday. Maybe he and Pugh will see more time over Williams.

Guess we'll activate Buddy Jackson for his roster spot

Man, that's a shame...Merriweather sure looked good while he was in there.

Best of luck on a speedy recovery.

[Rex Tomb]

I do not understand how we went from him being taken out for precautionary measures, where Meriwether said he would have gone back in if it were his choice, to this... just really crappy luck.

I definitely think we should keep him if he's on the mend. That guy is a hitter and really, I had visions of Sean Taylor coming back to me. Not in any way comparing MW to him, but the intensity with which he played rubbed off on everyone else. Hopefully, Gomes got a chance to see how that type of energy can affect everyone out there.

MW was all over the field - been a while since we've seen that from one of our safeties.

Pretty devastating after getting to see him out there on the field. He changed the mentality of our defense and brought an attitude and a swagger. He made his presence felt out there until he was hurt. He will be missed.

COME ON MAN......... Why can we never catch a break????? Every injury has to end up as a worst case scenario for us. So sick of the injury bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[skinsmania123]

so we have reid dooty and ma doo doo williams now. Surely there's someone on es that can play safety?

Is Fletcher either A.) Retired; B.) In Jail; C.) Being held captive at gun point by desperate Texans; or D.) No longer of this World.

Because as true as I'm sat here typing, without the above he sure as Hell isn't missing starting a game of football if he's to take to the darn field in a wheelchair .

Hail.

Agreed - he finished out the game on the tweaked ankle so I'd be surprised if he wasn't out there Thursday afternoon. That being said, if the two are questionable, I actually think it would hurt us much more to lose Wilson than Fletcher. I hope both can play, but our secondary is already bad enough as it is and just lost a lot of potential help with Meriweather going down.

Is it just me or does Wilson seriously get hurt every other game with some kind of minor issue. He never misses games due to it but always comes out for a while or ends up laying on the ground over something. I don't know if that means he's kind of soft for always acting hurt, or if he's tough because he always plays through it lol

[MrJL]

well a rotator cuff, that's Wilson's injury, won't affect running so hopefully he can play.

but overall it might be time to do like the Patriots and see if some of WRs can play DB

I agree GHH. I think fletch will play. He has a walking boot on now but he will be there. Happy to hear that Demarco Murray and Tyron smith are out. That helps even it out a bit.
