Our website is dedicated to injury information so why are we updating a player that was just traded? The reason is that his injury plays a unique role in the trade. Talib was on injured reserve for a rib injury that in itself is relatively unusual. The vast majority of players can play through a rib injury. See Julian Edelman rib cartilage injury, which is among the harder ones to deal with but has yet to miss a game due to the rib injury. I do not know the specific circumstances of the Talib rib injury but it is interesting that he was placed on injured reserve. It is even more interesting that he was traded while on injured reserve. I cannot recall another situation like this where a player is traded while on injured reserve. Is this a Money Ball type of move or is there more to the story? The bottom line is that this is an unusual situation that involves an injury.
