Gabois and McDermott

Advertisement
I sit behind the bench. All I can offer is that Gadbois was trying to stand on his leg and stretch it out for several minutes and could not. He was wincing and in an obvious great deal of pain. Sure looked bad.

KC was actually carted off the sideline.
 
The thing that's annoying is all the OLine wear knee braces on both knees and we just had two guys get knee injuries. KCs was def knee too.

What's the point of these braces lol. I mean if they are designed to prevent and don't do that then Welp.

I know it's mostly because of trip legs they set on special teams etc which usually has someone falling over it but I mean ****.

Per some general medical site...

On average, it takes six weeks for a MCL injury to heal. The initial treatment for most grade 1, 2 or 3 MCL tears focuses on reducing the pain and inflammation in the knee while immobilizing the knee to keep it stabilized. This includes:

Resting, icing and elevating the knee
Taking pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, to ease pain and swelling
Wearing a lightweight cast or brace that allows your knee to move backward and forward while restricting side-to-side movement. It usually is recommended to keep the knee immobilized like this for 72 hours, depending on the severity of the injury.
The cast or brace may be designed so that you cannot bend your knee at all. If this is the case, you will need to modify your behavior so that you can avoid having to squat, kneel down or bend over. You should try to keep your leg elevated even if you are sitting in a chair, to reduce blood flow to the knee.

Once the pain and swelling subside, you will begin rehabilitation, which will include exercises to restore strength and normal range of motion to your knee. If your knee feels sore while you are doing these exercises, you should proceed slowly to prevent further irritation.

If the torn ligament does not heal sufficiently, you may experience instability in the joint, and you will be more susceptible to re-injury. The MCL usually responds very well to non-surgical treatment, although surgery may be required in rare cases. Depending on the severity of the injury, a period of rest, bracing and physical therapy usually is sufficient to heal the tear.

Once the MCL has healed fully, you should have a minimum of long-term effects, providing there was no other damage to the knee.

Recovery times differ depending on the severity of the injury:
A minor, or grade 1, MCL tear can take from a few days to a week and a half to heal sufficiently for you to return to normal activities, including sports.
A grade 2 tear can take from two to four weeks to heal.
A grade 3 tear usually takes from four to eight weeks to heal, unless it is associated with damage to the ACL, in which case the recovery time may be longer.
 
****, he was just starting to play some good football. Hope he gets well soon, he is as mean, nasty a OL as you can want.

Will be interesting to see if they think Darling can be ready at RT. Most likely we will go with Feliciano at RT and then Gall, Wells, or Linder at LG I guess, maybe Darling at LG

That especially sucks since we burned KC's shirt already.

Did he actually play in the requisite number of games? I don't think he played a snap against UL.

is it games or number of snaps?

Games. 30% of the team's regular season schedule. If he plays in more than that he's not eligible for a medical RS.

If you play 1 snap you're no longer eligible for the automatic RS.
