@CloakNNNdagger how do Will Fries injury affect his future?

His injury was formally reported as a right tibia fracture. However, it was in fact a tibia/fibula fracture. With the AirCast not extending above the knee, it is obvious to me that it was not a tibia plateau fracture. Since he did not have a prolonged hospital stay following his immediate surgery, his fracture would not have been comminuted (multiple fragment) fractures, or involve open fractures or neurovascular injuries. Therefore, I would expect for him to be good to go without significant performance effects in 2025.

[I am not really sure why he was strapped into a back board when carted off............did not seem necessary]

I really hope the Texans give Tank Dell the required time to heal and rehabilitate so he can return to the team in 2026 with a clean bill of health.

Thanks for posting the correct article. Looks like I posted the one before that went into the news thread. Horrible news for both individuals

Chubbs looked terrible last season. Because Tank's position requires more mobility, quickness and more direction change flexibility, he is much less likely to return. And his thin body structure is less likely to take lower extremity trauma well.

I wonder how the rehab is going for Jordan and Stover. Any insight @CloakNNNdagger ?

We certainly haven't had much luck in keeping TEs healthy. Stover underwent an open clavicle (collarbone) repair with plate and screws mid Jan of this year. NFL players can usually return to play (~95%) at usually ~7 months although some have been able to return as soon as 4-5 months while others as long as 11 months. I have not heard of any setbacks, so at this position I feel that his return would be around the 7 month mark. The good news is that those that return usually can return to pre-injury performance and can play out as many games as their non-injured counterparts.

As far as Jordan, he underwent surgery on in his ACL last Sept. A 2024 survey of teams revealed that they allowed their post ACL players to return ~9 month post surgery...............but none allowed return before 7 month. TEs have always been placed in the WR category re. NFL ACL studies. They showed that ~20% decrease in TE performance along with decreased snaps and career longevity could be expected upon return. Jordan also sustained meniscus damage which you see in ~65% of players sustaining ACLs. He now has ~20% risk of suffering another ACL rupture (ipsilateral or contralateral). Not a rosy picture, but not a hopeless one.
