McCargo out indefinitely

[Philagape]

Off the AP wire at work .....

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) - Bills reserve defensive tackle John McCargo is out indefinitely after straining an abdominal muscle during a training camp practice Friday.
Coach Dick Jauron couldn't estimate how much practice time McCargo will miss, saying only "We hope it won't be long." It's not clear when McCargo was hurt, but he continued watching practice from the sideline with his stomach heavily wrapped.

Seriously, how many times is the guy going to get injured though? This is ATLEAST the 3rd one in the past year. If you were one of the Bills fans (like me) that thought McCargo was a reach in the 1st this doesn't neccessarily make you feel any better about the guy.

This guy has to learn to be healthy or else he'll never get a chance to help us.

Is it too early to call him injury prone yet? 3 injuries in 3 years.....

Re: McCargo out indefinitely

I'm not one to overreact but I would agree with Op, assuming he posts what I think he will.

This guy needs to stay healthy real quick. It's starting to get old.

McCargo was our only "upgrade" to a DL that was 28th against the run. He missed a lot of conditioning time with his surgery in the off-season and now he's missing more conditioning time in camp. If you don't see this as a problem, I guess you were satisfied with last year's DL and don't really care about winning.

Seriously, how can you NOT be concerned about the prospect of Tim Anderson getting more reps?

Thought it was 3 in 1 year? I'm not counting his collegiate career either. Either way, if there were any recent Bills player that I thought was going to be a bust, this would be it.

Re: McCargo out indefinitely

Agreed. Because the DL are the only players who are allowed to stop the run. Also, field position and the score have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the other team can afford to run the ball the first place.

it's at least 2 in less than a year, and he had to have a second surgery for the one that happened during the season last year. There may have been 3- I can't recall if he was injured in pre season at all last year, and he was injured his final year of college as well. Either way, it's a minimum 2 injuries in a year and 3 in 3 years.

Other than Poz we have the same LB's as last year as well, and in our defensive system DT's are supposed to rush the passer as well. Did you not see what happened last year with our rotation of Tripplett, Anderson, Williams and Jefferson? Well, guess what? It's gonna happen again. Even if McCargo plays, he's missed so much conditioning and practice time already so it's unreasonable to expect too much.
