Report: Laremy Tunsil recently underwent knee surgery, is expected to make "swift" recovery

Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil underwent an offseason procedure, but it doesn't sound like it should sideline him for any significant amount of time.

It seems that Tunsil's original injury was a Grade I MCL. He apparently had a setback with swelling and inflammation of his knee. As I've posted previously, there may be something additional going on such as a floating fragment of cartilage (whether meniscus or articular cartilage) within the joint space that is causing an element of grinding of the articular joint cartilage........and thus resulting in swelling and inflammation.

The Texans medical staff (as do some others) now more than ever try to accelerate rehab in order to get players back on the field. In doing so, they tend to bypass probably the most important stage of rehab.............total rest. If you return too soon, you may worsen your injury and lead to extended damage. Everyone recovers from injury at a different rate. When you return to your sport or activity will be determined by how soon your knee recovers, not by how many days or weeks it has been since the injury occurred. In general, the longer you experience symptoms, the longer it will take to get better.

A brace is not likely to affect inflammatory changes caused by too early hard "rehab."

*************

His MCL which he suffered in Sept was never given time heal. He played through it throughout the season. This led to fragmentation of his meniscus with the loose particles in turn damaging the articular surface resulting in repeated knee swelling and fluid buildup requiring surgery.

We will find out if Tunsil underwent a meniscus trim vs repair when we see when he returns to play. Trim will be a 4-6 week return. Repair will be 4-6 months. Tunsil underwent surgery in Feb.
 
Good news! But the publicity by Wilson/Texans is over the top with "way ahead of schedule."

Tank suffered an isolated distal fibula fracture. NFL players experiencing this injury have an average 3 months to full return. Tank, having suffered that fracture on Dec. 3, is not experiencing a remarkable recovery/rehab at 3 1/2 months post injury.

:um:Don't have any idea what "he developed a small hole between the knee and the patellar tendon" means?

And offensive lineman Tytus Howard, who’s expected to return to his natural right tackle position, is on track to return by training camp, per Ryans. Howard underwent surgery on his left knee after the injury worsened to the point where he developed a small hole between the knee and the patellar tendon, per league sources.

“Tytus is recovering,” Ryans said. “He’s doing well. We should get him back for training camp.”

Today's article describes Howard's knee issue as " a small hole between the knee and patellar tendon." This description still makes absolutely no sense anatomically or otherwise.

Five months post surgery, it is now evident that Tunsil underwent a repair of his meniscus rather than a trim...............a positive factor for potentially longer-term performance and NFL longevity survival.

Heck's foot injury is plantar fasciitis. He will unlikely to return to play by the season opener if then. I haven't yet been able to confirm that last year's foot problem was plantar fasciitis, but it is very possible. The complete recovery from plantar fasciitis symptoms is a very long process, which can take as long as two years. If Heck tries to force his way back too early, he has to also enjoy walking on broken glass. :tiphat:

Hopefully, he doesn't again develop a compensatory back problem.

I have just confirmed that this recent plantar fasciitis issue is the same "foot problem" he dealt with last year.

I still don't feel very comfortable with Anderson returning for this game.

CloakNNNdagger said:
Anderson just began running less than a week ago. This was straight line running. The next stage of rehab is concentrating on strengthening and proprioception training (gaining awareness of the leg, foot and joint positions in space) which usually will require at least ~2 weeks before cutting drills are safely allowed. Then safe game play (to lessen the potential for re-injury) will need additional time for strengthening and proprioception.

It doesn't seem to me that Anderson can return for the Colts game as safely as he should.

Bears to treat Allen, Odunze as game-time calls

The Bears are likely to wait until close to game time to make a decision on the playing statuses of wide receivers Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, coach Matt Eberflus said.

Not reported, but Allen's heel problem is due to plantar fasciitis. If he hasn't been able to practice all week, he will not play Sunday. If he tries, he will be significantly compromised.

Rome Odunze this week having only limited participated Friday in a walkthru ..............will not be ready to play Sunday. His knee injury is a Grade II MCL...........he will be lucky to avoid IR.
 
From the game thread real-time, I posted that I believed he had suffered an ankle injury.

Looks like Choa had the same impression. Mixon looks like he avoided a bad injury. Let's hope that swelling which may not occur until hours later, does not leave Mixon with any significant debility.

Texans’ Joe Mixon injured ankle, returned after apparent unflagged hip-drop tackle he wants enforced​

Updated: September 16, 2024 at 8:58 AM

Mixon limped off the field under his own power to the blue medical tent before quickly heading inside the locker room for further examination.

Mixon went back to the sideline after getting checked out, rode the stationary bike and lobbied the team medical staff to allow him to go back into the game.

“Joe got rolled up,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “The guy’s weight definitely came down on his ankle. Didn’t look good from my view. We’ll evaluate Joe throughout the week. Hopefully, he’s okay. Have to see the film and see if it was really a hip drop tackle.”
 
I am concerned about both of our centers on the Injury Report...........one DNP, the other LP........................I believe both are likely at best to be QUESTIONABLE................and if they do try to play, because both are soft tissue tears, can they return without re-injuring in the next few games
 
I've had to go to the Vikings official site to get their Injury Report. [They don't have the updated Texans Injury Report, which is dependent on the Texans reporting.

I have been able to discover the Texans Injury Status:

Mixon...................................doubtful.......................he will not play.

Patterson.............................questionable.............he isn't ready to play.

Pierce.....................................out

Stewart...................................questionable........................he isn't ready.

Scruggs...................................questionable........................he shouldn't play, but will.
 
Joe Mixon (ankle) did not practice today...............he should not try to play Sunday.

Tank Dell (ribs, hand-wrist) did not practice............he is likely to try to play Sunday.

Dameon Pierce (hamstring) did not practice today..................the team reports that he is close to returning and is expected to play Sunday.................I have always said that before return for injuries like this, the player should have a full week of full practice, especially participating in a Wednesday contact practice.
