Houston LT David Ndukwe in the portal

I’ve yet to see anyone have a knee dislocation with only one ligament injured.
This is at least one year out.

He wont be back for the beginning of the season.

Nick chub tore 2 ligaments and a meniscus with his dislocation.
He was out 13 months.

Correct. A single ligament injury is very rare. In the vast majority of cases, a dislocation requires the tearing of both the ACL & PCL (grade 2). A dislocation usually involves at least one of the side ligaments as well, MCL or LCL, making it a grade 3.

His waiver is too but that hurdle has been cleared. We’re dumpster diving. Bring him in and see what the knee looks like.

I’m just glad you didn’t say, “kick his tires….”

 

[DocCane407]

MPFL was torn. Not sure about ACL/PCL. If only the MPFL, he will be full go in August.

MPFL tear is uncommon in a full dislocation. If true, probably just a patella dislocation. With surgical reconstruction, probably good to play in 4 to 6 months.

I think his grades reset after that knee injury though… I’m not sure how you even judge him he can’t be that far along 4 months in. It’s at the very least a 10 month recovery more than likely a full year.

I was told it was pretty bad so I’d probably stay away. Too risky unless it’s cheap and he’s a depth piece

It dropped to zero when his knee entered his shin

David Ndukwe, David Njoku…..can he play Tight End?! Can he block effectively in punt formation!?

 

[Calinative]

What do his run blocking grades look like @Calinative?

25 - 25 snaps, 66.5 Run Block, 0 Pass Block
24 - 480 snaps, 62.5 Run Block, 73.9 Pass Block
23 and 22 - only 35 combined snaps.
Allowed 9 pressures on 251 Pass Snaps.

To me this dude isn't a take. For entering his 5th year he has had at least one major injury and only played 500 snaps.

Apparently the injury is a concern. @JustAFanHTX said it goes beyond that so I guess we need to get help from elsewhere.

Makes more sense.

After reading all of these comments. With the new info, I'd skip on the kid. Nasty injury. People seem unsure on his recovery timeline but why invest in damage goods when he may not even contribute to next year's team. Better off giving those reps to a young player and dealing with the growing pains.

Mario and Mirabal are known for being great teachers of OL play. Well, here's another opportunity to earn that label.
