I have serious concerns about ANOTHER concussion, this time with decorticate posturing.
As I mentioned previously, the main concern if returning from a concussion before symptoms resolve is Second Impact Syndrome.
Let’s hope not because that could be deadly. 🙏🏼
CRAZY TWIST TO THE OHTANI DEAL

Shohei Ohtani's $700 million deal is one of the most unique contracts in sports history.

This is what a 10 year old AC sprain (likely grade 3) looks like if not surgically fixed.
Keenan Allen suffered this in his rookie season of 2013.

Respect to DeVonta Smith.

That’s likely an acute Achilles tear.
Best case scenario is 9-12 months (think James Robinson).
Hate to say it, but for RBs, especially one coming off an ACL that he still hasn’t returned to the field for, this could be career ending.
Shame.
That’s (likely) an acute concussion for Donald Parham with what is called posturing.
It looks like his arms are frozen & stuck in a weird position.
Very scary.
Hope he’s not seriously injured.
Damar Hamlin
Suffered a cardiac arrest likely due to

Some important things to note:
1. Commotio cordis occurs when an object, usually a baseball, hits the chest well.
2. This has to happen at an exact spot in the cardiac cycle (T wave).

Is Lamar Jackson injury prone?
Lamar Jackson has played in 85% of possible games in his first 5 seasons.
He’s missed 2 games due to illness.
He missed 1 game due to COVID.
He missed 4 games to a R ankle injury.
He missed 5 games to a L PCL knee sprain.
70/82 games = 85%…
Falcons owner Arthur Blank said Tuesday Lamar Jackson's situation is “very different” from Deshaun Watson's last year. “Different player, different time. You have a winner (in Jackson), a MVP in the league. There’s no question he's one of the top quarterbacks in the league."
Is the 1.01 cursed?
In 2020: CMC (missed 13 games)
In 2021: CMC (missed 10 games)
In 2022: Jonathan Taylor (missed 6 games)
In 2023: Justin Jefferson (missed 7* games)
That’s basically 40-80% of your season with 0 points from your

pick.

Injury Round Up - 9/4/23
1/ Cooper Kupp - Hamstring reinjury, grade 1. Visited specialist in MIN. I think he’s OUT W1. I think him missing multiple weeks or even PUP is possible. Van Jefferson benefits most, Tyler Higbee too.

Right lateral ankle sprain

There reportedly is NOT a tear in his UCL, but there is enough concern for him to fly to LA to get evaluated by
Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
Here’s how…
There is a good chance he finally has the mobility in his hip / lower half to be able to put the strength into his throws.
Remember Tua had a significant (potentially career ending) fracture & dislocation of his hip in November 2019.
Now he has weapons too 😳
@NFL_DovKleiman
If the calf strain is moderate, grade 2, then that’s roughly when his risk of reinjury would drop close to 0.
If only a grade 1, then that is excessive.
Burrow should be ready for Week 1, but will have an small increased risk for reinjury.
T.J. Hockenson & Darren Waller are the 2 healthiest elite TEs right now
Travis Kelce - bone bruise (knee)
Mark Andrews - quad
George Kittle - groin
Hockenson just recently shed his contractitis that had be causing his back pain.
I don’t think you understand how bad Joe Burrow’s knee injury was in 2020.
He tore his:
ACL
MCL

Today he outdueled Patrick Mahomes and entered himself into not only the Comeback Player of the Year, but possibly the MVP race.
Amazing.

He should be cleared in the next 7-10 days.

For me it’s Chase because we have seen Jefferson disappear in big games, Chase seems to step up.

Simply put, grass will give/cut with the cleats. Turf is made of rubber & meant to not cut or give.
So the energy doesn’t displace by tearing through the turf like it does with grass. These are likely creating small micro traumas that build up over time.
If the force is…

Left knee hyperextension
Options for this can range from bone bruise and mild knee sprain (PCL?) to torn meniscus to ACL tear.

The range of possibilities for this left knee is huge.
In order of severity (least to worst):

2. MCL + ACL + meniscus
3. MCL + ACL + PCL + LCL + meniscus
4. Knee dislocation + multi-ligament tear (can also have…
Rare confirmation from the player himself.
Unfortunately a grade 2-3 PCL means Lamar is done for the season.
His knee simply won’t be able to ‘restabilize’ fast enough.
These are frustrating injuries, especially for players who run.
Best of luck in your rehab.
Thank you everyone for your support and concerns regarding my injuries. I want to give you all an update as I am in the recovery process. I’ve suffered a PCL grade 2 sprain on the borderline of a strain 3. There is still inflammation surrounding my knee and my knee

This is a relatively common injury in baseball, as the ‘hook of the hamate’ rests against the knob of the bat.
Surgery involves removing the piece but no repair to tendon/ligament.
3-4 weeks RTP. No long term concerns.
This is GREAT news in regards to Nick Chubb’s artery or nerve damage.
If he already went & then left the hospital, that means there were no concerns for significant injury to these vessels.
Silver lining, as this would have been catastrophic.
