Is it wrong to question why he was still getting carries while up so big?
Really feel for the kid.
It was in the 3rd quarterwas still the 1st half and he hadn't received any more carries than Corbin or Bonner.
Lovie brought up a good point in his presser worth repeating. Mike was coming back from a serious foot injury. Maybe this will be a blessing in disguise and the extra time will allow the foot to heal completely and we'll get the best version of Mike.
That’s just putting lipstick on a pig though as he’ll be coming off his second acl recovery. I wish him the best, but this is a tough break for him no matter how you slice it.
Tore his ACL in high schoolThat's not what I read, which said he had two foot fractures and this is his 1st ACL. Not sure what's accurate.
How much adversity can one guy take?
Anybody know if the knee is the same one he hurt in high school? Anyone know what type of knee injury he has and Beason as well. Seems to me coming back in a year can be optimistic for these ACL and/or MCL tears.
I got a cadaver graft. Tore Oct 9th, surgery Nov 9th, my Christmas present was being allowed to jog/run. I was hammering the stair climber and sled pretty hard at the beginning of Dec when the trainer caught me. Basically I felt pretty good a month after surgery. And my football program didn't have the resources of a University of Illinois.Another big factor is how they choose to fix it. Based on what’s best for the patient they will either take a graft of your patellar tendon, or use a cadaver acl. The benefit of the first is its your body, so no rejection, but the downside is you’re then recovering in 2 places, instead of one. The cadaver is the opposite, you face a chance that your body will reject it, but you have the benefit of only needing that one place to recover. Somebody I know who tore their acl had a graft taken from their hamstring (I think), so that would be like option 1, rehabbing 2 places.
So, basically, a year or less is doable (and the norm nowadays), but there’s A LOT of variables.
Doesn't answer the short-term Epstein question, but I had ACL surgery in 1987 at Carle Clinic (was not in sports but the surgeon was the team's). My left hamstring, despite nearly daily hamstring curls etc, is much weaker than the right. Therapy is life-long. Aside from rain and arthritis issues, if I take I week off various leg strengthening exercises, the knee pain increases. What really started helping my knee pain, was when I took up running 5 years ago (because now everything is much stronger around the knee and I became diligent). I know the 80s was the stone-ages compared to now, but I always wonder what Dudek and others will face as they get older....
