Still waiting on an official announcement of Watson's bruised ribs

As well as the calf/ankle from previous game.............you do realize that, despite the rules, not all injuries are publicized by teams.........many times until it is obvious that they are overtly affecting play.

To have played 3 Qs with this injury, he is one tough player. Wrist dislocations cause excruciating wrist and forearm pain with movement............tying one's shoe laces become a monumental chore. If he only required a reduction/alignment of the bones, recovery is a 1 1/2-3 month rehab. However, if surgery is required because of significant ligament tearing or fracture, 6-12 months can be expected for recovery.

As an aside, if the wrist was not relocated right after it dislocated, and he continued to play with it that way, he may very well have turn the required treatment from conservative management to necessary surgical intervention.

you know, when you replied to Shishkabob's post I feared you were about to tell us his arm was going to fall off because he stayed in the game. :)

You do realize that your resident wannabe team doctor know it all made the following statement:

“Watson will be announced later as having suffered bruised ribs”

So, again.....where is the announcement that Watson has bruised ribs?

Thanks for your complimentary words. It seems like they carry a great deal of built up hostility. First of all, those who know me, know that I would never sell my soul to become a puppet. Over the years, I have had the privilege of taking care of many professional football players referred to me seeking evaluation and treatment in the private sector. That aside, I am not the one who makes the final decision to reveal injuries or not. But I do know how the game works and unfortunately it is not always honestly presented for public consumption. I'll leave it at that.

In other words....you were trying to look informed, and you whiffed.

Thanks for the false info, "Doc"

Just to clarify, questioning him is not frowned upon but the way and comments made against him can and have been and should be criticised. He has never said he is 100 % correct but gives his opinion with supportive evidence more than any other poster IMO.

Absolutely, but you know what I was getting at.

ever heard the saying, "It is better to remain quiet and SEEM ignorant than to speak wrongly and remove all doubt."

He has.
Many times over.
Pay attention. and flip that switch in your brain from "Transmit/Talk" to "Receive/Listen".
You might learn something.


 
Will be watching eagerly this week for Fuller V updates. Most important player on O by miles.

Everyone else has a much easier job when the D has to account for his threat deep.
 
Colvin in 2016 was placed on IR for a severe ankle fracture which required surgery and a 7 month rehab. From what I can discern, it would be likely that we will see him in a boot or cast and likely have his season over with surgery.
 
Oh, I nearly forgot because I was afraid to mention it during the game. Doc did you notice Watson grab his left calf (lower leg) a few times during the game?
 
CloakNNNdagger said:
Yes I did, and it worries me, especially what may be going on with his ankle or Achilles.
Click to expand...

He grabbed his calf before the dead-leg moment on the TD run (my heart dropped with 'Achilles' until he seemed to move ok on the sideline). Ankle certainly seems to be a concern, did you notice any favored movement later in the game?

Also, would you want to throw out a guess as to what may have caused that dead-leg moment? Just a misstep or accident of his running style, or something else entirely?

<cackle> Is Uranus really bigger than Saturn and Neptune? It was the Discoverer probe that found rings around that planet. That thing could discover rings around Uranus and mine.

On topic, how did Kelemete and Lamm come out injury wise?

Sorry to go off topic doc, but to follow the previous post - I'm pretty sure I just listened to a neighbor actually giving a spiel to her boyfriend about the Earth being flat (I didn't actually believe that was a thing).

Remember, he had that calf grab in a previous game.......that makes me believe the source is ankle or Achilles.
Since we've already seen it twice, i am concerned that this will not be the last time until the source is better defined.
 
Re. Fuller's injury posted in Texans Random Thought of the Day:

Will Fuller suffered an aggravation of his hamstring in the 1st half. Although the teams says that he could have returned in the 2nd half, a re-injury needs to be handled very carefully. And the re-injury usually requires a longer rehab than the initial tear in order to try to minimize the already increased risk to further re-injury.

Aaron Wilson‏@AaronWilson_NFL 4h4 hours ago

Kendall Lamm on his shoulder injury: "I feel good, I told the trainers I will be benching heavy on Wednesday regardless. That's my mentality. I keep it moving. When I hurt my shoulder, it was like when you hit your funny bone. I don't feel bad now."

Commendable, but probably not the smartest thing to do heavy benching just yet.

As he definitely should be. http://www.texanstalk.com/posts/2863435/

In Sept 2017, he suffered a hamstring. Rehabbed only 2 weeks. Then when he returned, his performance was noticeably affected and in Oct 2017, he suffered a recurrent hamstring and rehabbed only 2 weeks after which his performance was ghost-like. With this recent longer rehab history implying a Grade II tear, a recurrence should be closer to 4-8 weeks to minimize his risk of suffering yet another recurrence.

It doesn't matter how we rehab him; he's going to be a career-long history of injuries anyway. So let's play him as much as possible and get out of him what we can so we end up with less egg on our face for drafting him so high. We have Coutee to step in after Fuller becomes an announcer.
 
Doesn't seem like Fuller is ever healthy. These really slim dudes and their soft tissue injuries.

Maybe don't stretch as much? Dynamic vs Static? I guess Coutee will only be around a few weeks before he reaggravates his hammy?
