My guess is, especially since we know for certain that this injury didn’t occur during a football activity, you’ve got potential HIPPA violations for disclosing anything. If a player gets hurt during a football activity, the team has to disclose it for fairness cough gambling cough purposes. However, since this injury was not football related, the team bears no responsibility and the only person who could disclose it is Manu, and we know that isn’t happening.
To me this was a worthy shot. It cost us nothing, and he was a former 1st round pick with talent who was only cheap BECAUSE of his injury history. If we could have squeezed a healthy season out of him it likely would have been FAR better than any young buck’s for a similar cost, alas, we weren’t.
Really intrigued by O’Neill, every time I’ve seen him he’s living in the backfield. I have a feeling that he might be claimed if the Lions cut him so I wonder if he makes the final 53, coach Dan has spoken highly of him.
