I can't believe I am even going to acknowledge this thread. But here it goes:
Corey ruptured the ligament that holds the thumb in place. That means it is completely torn. That also means that he cannot move the thumb and cannot use it to put any pressure on any objects. i.e. it is unusable.
If he had just broken a finger, we all would be much happier, here's to wishing Corey had broken one of his fingers. Believe me he could still catch the ball with a broken finger, he has four of those on each hand as opposed to only one thumb on each hand.
Just for those who are uninformed and have an inability to grasp concepts of what the thumb really means to a persons ability to do day to day things, yes including catching a football, I found this little exercise. Please go to the link and give it a try. Maybe you will be enlightened about a part of your anatomy that you take for granted.

And when you have finished that little experiment, have one of your friends throw a football as hard as he can right at your face and attempt to catch it with your thumbs still taped. Bet it hits you right in the nose.
After that go out and separate not one but both of your shoulders and then try to play 6 football games at the D1 level, catching the football and blocking linebackers and see how that feels. Oh, my bad, Corey has already done that for you so you can skip it.
Falconballer, the next time you sit down to masturbate, just imagine how much the degree of pleasure would be lowered if you didn't have a thumb on that hand.
I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that. Falconballer can think whatever he wants about Corey. It doesn't matter, its his opinion. Just be sure you know all the facts first.
You obviously have something against Corey, because if you truly played with Corey as you said you did, then you wouldn't be saying those things. Because you would know that if he could be on the field he would be. Its been a bad year for him, the luck that it takes to make it thru a season without significant injury has not been there for him. Maybe it will be next year, that is if his hand will heal well enough to allow him to once again catch a football. If not you will see him playing special teams and maybe some defense. That would mean his career as a receiver would be over and I guess you would be happy then.
