Lewis Cine injury

Not sure how anyone is dogging Cine or his play when we haven't seen anything from the kid yet because of a nagging injury early put him behind the curve. He broke his ankle, I believe, which is a bad injury but he'll recover fully. 

@"pattersaur" said: The NFL is a cold business. With all of the information we have right now, it looks like Cine is around an 85% bust. Maybe 95%… solely based on injuries. Hopefully he can overcome this and become a big time player for the Vikes. Rooting for him!

Especially one who missed camp reps due to injury, especially one who faced a competition with an All Pro and a prized 2nd year player. Cine will be back.

Thanks for injecting some logic into the discussion guys.  Can't believe some are writing off Cine so quickly...  hope he heals up and comes back stronger than ever next year.

I will wait and see how his recovery goes, there is a lot that is still unknown. He is young and with the right mindset he could surprise people.

I look @ Greenway and it gives me hope for the kid...

Cine started on a damn good Dawg D and has such a high ceiling. I was looking forward to some 3 safety looks with him this year.

Just wishing him a full recovery at this point.

I think that's best case scenario at this point. Greenway had an acl tear and limped off the field his rookie season. Cine's injury appeared much more gruesome and there's been no word on the exact injury is, just a lower leg issue that required immediate surgery. It sounds more like a Bridgewater type injury but for a guy who relies on speed and quick change of direction ability...that's not good. 

Teddy had nerve damage from a knee injury,  Cine has a broken leg,   likely needed the surgery to place plates and pins,  but nothing I've seen so far suggests it more than that.  It's a long rehab,  but it won't necessarily derail his career anymore than Greenways knee did 20 years ago.

We tried to get really fucking cute draft day and it's turned out a bust. 

Trying to get cute on draft day that resulted in shitty outcomes has happened before.

It's that this time it involved not 1,  but 2 division rivals and that's what pisses me off.

If it was a tib/fib, that is a brutal injury to come back from.  Much different than a knee injury.

Who's calling him a BUST?  If anything, the draft class is looking like a bust.  

The pick was confusing to begin with, there was so much talent at the board at the time that could have helped.

I really like the player and his abilities but this has been a frustrating scenario for everyone involved.  I feel for him as he deserved a shot to be a starter coming in as a key player in the best defense in the country.  

@"Skodin" said: I'm sorry but I can't stand Kris Boyd as a Viking.  He has been terrible for two years, he acts too immature on the field.  He's lucky he didn't get a flag on the fumble recovery for taking his helmet off and throwing it.

I place a lot of blame for Cine's injury on Boyd playing unnecessarily wild.  He had no need to do what he did, launching himself across his own teammate 20 years from the PR.  I feel for Cine because it seems like he was drafted by the wrong team.  We had 2 potentially 3 safeties and a scheme that doesn't fit him.  

I can't imagine him being a productive player for us until 2024 as a minimum which is NOT WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF A FIRST ROUND PICK.

Boyd made a huge play on the fumbled punt.  As the gunner, he did his job by forcing the returner to take his first step sideways.  But then he got up off the ground and came back and laid out the returner, causing a fumble and then recovering it.  They got an easy FG out of that.

I hadn't heard it was simply a broken leg. Has there been any information released on exactly what the damage was? I hope he can come back, but even if he does, is he going to come back as the same player? I guess we'll all wait on more information to be released

he made a play,  and then acted like he won the damn game.  I can understand being jacked up,  and honestly gunners on kick coverage units need to be a little crazy to do their jobs,  but the bit with the helmet and shit could and should have cost the team 15 yards, which the way our O was going for most the game yesterday would have likely taken the team out of field position and thus no 3 points and they end up losing the damn game.  I appreciated the effort,  but the celebration was stupid as hell and is maybe a sign of why he isnt making more of a contribution to our team.

Absolutely correct, rewatched the play and you are right, no reason for Boyd to even be there, Cine already has the block, Boyd should have been going after the 2nd man down who went unblocked and forced the play out of bounds. 

Eagan, Minn. (October 3, 2022) – After suffering an injury in yesterday's game, Lewis Cine was immediately transported to a local hospital where he underwent a successful preparatory procedure in advance of his scheduled surgery tomorrow, Tuesday, October 4. Following surgery, Lewis will remain in London to continue his initial recovery process before returning to Minnesota at the appropriate time. A member of the Vikings medical staff will also stay in London until Lewis returns. Head Coach Kevin O'Connell and members of the Vikings organization have been in constant communication with Lewis, who is in great spirits.

Ok, help my memory out...

This is all kinda de ja vu for me...Who was the Viking (not too long ago) who was always bringing friendly fire down on our own players? 

A Safety I think?
