We have no doubt Mr Mathews will not play a full season

As Norv said.. Ryan Mathews is no doctor. Of course football players want to get on the field ASAP but it isn’t always wise to rush it

I really hope he does play. That way there is no u beat us beacause we didnt have mathews. Or u beat us because we didnt have dmc. This is going to be a good game. The winner of this takes the division no doubt.

In other headlines, Norv Turner has “no doubt” he will be installing a running back-by-committee.

I really don’t want him to play week 1…. just rest and get stronger so you can take punishment later. I am afraid he’ll get hurt by week 3 if he comes back too soon.

He’s currently my keeper on my fantasy team at round 7. I have Julio Jones at round 9. If you keep a player, you’ll lose that round’s draft pick.

Thumbs up, Ryan Matthews. Thumbs down, Juilo Jones.

Whatcha think?

Wow!
elrock7, if Mathews is really
“as fragile a running back as you have ever seen” all I can say is welcome to your very FIRST WEEK as an NFL fan!

No doubt Mathews has had issues, but you don’t have to look any further than the most recent season–and his own division to find more fragile backs: AFC WEST TOP BACKS FOR 2011
Willis McGahee 249 carries
Ryan Mathews 222 carries
Darren McFadden 113 carries
Jamaal Charles 12 carries

Again, RM has had his health issues, but if he’s the most fragile you’ve seen, you ain’t seen much

I understand that Matthews has been plagued by the injury bug for his previous two seasons. However, this guy is willing to do something that his previous idol (LT) would never do. Fight through an injury got to give the kid the best of luck, for he is putting his team first and knows that Rivers cannot just carry the load.

Not only is this guy looking to be a bust due to chronic injuries, but San Diego actually traded up to get him. Sad because he was a once promising player (not enough to take in the top 20 in the draft though IMO).

Wish him luck though.

Sure after surgery the incision and wound would have probably healed by week 1 or even before week 1. However, the fracture needs time to heal regardless of surgery. There’s a greater possibility, or almost likely of reinjury if the fracture is not fully healed naturally. Surgery helps the process, but isn’t a substitute.

After what Rolando McPain did to Witten last Monday, does Mathews really want to take the chance of going on the season ending I.R.?

Does it really matter who we have running the rock week 1? I mean, it is the freaking Raiders.

The Bolts better hope that “Brown Delivers”.

Matthews won’t have a long career if this keeps up.

Another busted draft pick by the Chargers. They should’ve never let Buddy Nix walk. A.J. Smith is a horrible G.M.

Matthews is a China Doll. This is the last time I’ll ever click on a story about Ryan Matthews.

he’s just saying that because that’s what players do

he’ll probably miss the first 4 weeks

Typical player bravado, no way he’ll play. Too risky, if he gets hit like that cowboy did last week it’s over for him. Raiders are licking their chops.

Funny that “rundmc20″ jokes about IR,, when Darren McFadden has yet to play an entire 16 game season in his career only playing in 45 out of 64 regular season games and finished last season on injured reserve

I find it laughable that Raider fans are ignorant enough to call Mathews fragile. Forget your own RB has had injury problems? Did you ladies in black and silver forget the BEATDOWN you ended last season with? The one that kept you out of the playoffs for the 11th year in a row is it? Get ready to get rolled at home in front of a national audience!

Super low blow on the doc indeed. Lawyers are always seeming to have some kind of inferiority complex with doctors…. Could it be they realize doctors actually help society most of the time?

There’s only one thing Rolando is good for. Just ask Darren Sproles. Can’t wait till he gets to hone-in on Mathews.

SHUT UP MATHEWS, people who has recieved this injury in the NFL takes up to 6-8 weeks
