Done for the season, maybe next. That might be a career for him IMO.
 
Feel really bad for him. That's the last we'll see of him as a Lion I think. Can't imagine tearing one ACL, then the other ACL, and then rupturing the achilles...absolute nightmare for him. Wishing him the best in whatever he does after football.
 
Burleson might be back after the bye, no?

Yeah.

Broyles getting hurt sucks, but at this point he hasn't shown his value. He's been a nonfactor for much of the year. I thought he really could have been a hell of a player for us. Great guy too from what I've read.
 
if only titus young hadn't imploded. That rookie year was exactly what we need this year. Such wasted talent for both players.
 
Wow, that sucks. Career might be over, at least he has something between his ears. He will do fine in life after football
 
Hope he can stretch that rookie contract and do something with whatever degree he earned. His time in the nfl might not last long.

Sucks for us, but way worse for him.
 
When we drafted him I thought this kid my be a Desean Jackson type after he healed, I guess I was wrong. Good luck to the kid, hope he paid attention in school.
 
With all of the jusrtifiable flack that Millen got for drafting so many wideouts, Mayhew is being forced by injury and idiocy to do likewise. Might want to avoid drafting or trading for those who have sustained significant injury while playing in college...just a heads up for Martin.
 
Crabtree will be back in a couple of weeks, and he tore his Achilles is in training camp.

It's possible Broyles will be ready to go week 1 next year. I am not sure what the difference is, medically speaking, between a rupture and a tear, but I don't imagine it's career ending.

I just have trouble believing he'd be able to get consistent separation after torn ACLs in both knees, plus a ruptured achilles. Whatever happens, from what I've heard he's a great guy and I wish him the best.
 
Check the user mocks... I wanted Stills baaaaaad.

I was in on that one with Diggs. I wanted Stills bad, but was willing to pass for a center.

The way Dom is playing this season, I am glad we waited. The dude is playing out of his mind... finally.
 
I feel bad that the kid gets sidetracked on his dream but he pretty much sucked.
