Pelissero says Sam has a bone bruise

Been reading a lot about these bone bruises. Sounds like they're much worse than they sound. It's not just a "pain thing" either. If Sam even considered playing on Sunday, then perhaps it's not as bad as others, but the typical recovery time is 4 to 6 weeks. 

Couple articles you may not want to read:

so basically we could see Teddy coming back from the IR at the same time we see Sam coming back from this.... oooh grab the popcorn... this is about to get interesting.

(I am just kidding,  I highly doubt Teddy will have the rust knocked off much before Thanksgiving if he even does come back this year.)

That's the truly frustrating thing about this. If this had happened post-PUP, then we could've conceivably seen Bridgewater. Getting him into a few games could've helped us either restore Teddy's value, either on the market or as our QB moving forward.

Bone bruises are extremely painful to even touch, let alone play football with...

when it happened to my son the trainer and I were sure it was broken.
you could feel the bone was concaved in as you traced it down the leg.

we both looked at each other, and I was like "yeah...we're going now" (hospital)

my my kid was bummed that his season was likely over, but no break...bone bruise of the tibia. big, ungodly golf ball knot on the front of his leg, black and blue....and two weeks of no contact.  He still has a bump there (6 weeks now) smaller, but still hurts when pressed on. He plays with a soccer shin guard to protect the bump.
