Foster dislocated a finger?? - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

thunderkyss · 11-22-2012

Looked like Foster went to the sideline & asked the trainer to put his finger back into place.

Did anyone else see that? Looked like his hand & other fingers were pointing one way & his pinky was pointed the other way.

He wasn't bent over in pain, didn't act like a big deal at all. Just handed them his hand & they popped it back in then tapped it up.

My right pinkie was dislocated in high school. You have a few precious seconds to pop it back into place, so the adrenaline is still masking the pain.

At first I didn't think the trainer got it accomplished, but damn if he wasn't catching a roll of tape to get the pinkie and ring finger taped together.

It hurts like hell. The coach wouldn't pop mine back in, was worried there could be a fracture and that he'd end up getting sued for medical negligence. And this was back in 1991, btw.

Took my mom 30 minutes to get me, 30 to get to Lubbock. Ortho numbed me up and popped it back after clearing the X-rays on it. Hurt like hell.

He'll need to have it taped to ring finger for awhile. Lack dexterity in it for awhile, it'll swell and be stiff and ache.

Gonna be hard for him to catch passes. And when that ball hits the tip of his pinkie, when he stiff arms and a helmet or pads hit the end of that pinkie, it's going to hurt pretty good. Increased chances of dislocation, too, due to the stretching of those ligaments.

Cold days suck too, makes it ache.

No problem, a little tug & push and he's good to go!

Mario Williams wouldn't have felt the pain because he's a man's man. A leader of men.
