J. Thomas and Hightower have Minor knee surgeries

Some truth to this. Never been a fan of artificial turf ever since Rod Woodson tore his ACL from Barry Sanders' juke move. Saw a lot of guys go down from the artificial stuff.

Honestly, I just think its how athletic shoes are being made nowadays and the fieldturf not being thick enough. Alot of leg injuries that wasnt around 10-15 years ago.
 
Gun to your head, choose one reason for the rash of injuries:

IPF turf
practicing harder
different S&C regimen
program is cursed
 
Misleading title since it's missing the important word MINOR.

4-6 weeks recovery it sounds like. Not really a big deal


Yeah, well when you read knee surgery - some of us only know that the knee bone is connected to the leg bone - and it could be anything from a U-joint ball bearing cup failing and breaking loose the drive shaft part of the main leg mechanism - all the way to replacing knee bone splinters with bamboo, or something similar like tore on the Rubber Band Man.

Or guys with the typical nicks and bruises that come with playing football and there is no need to put them through the risk of practicing in the spring? Steed is literally the only guy with a substantive injury thus far this spring. Knock on wood.

Vast majority of held out of practice injuries in spring would be playing in a real game during the season.

Here's a better question, do you recall all of these injuries prior to Richt and Co?
 
Fingers crossed there aren’t any other injuries for the remainder of spring but I feel like the only ones who won’t be ready for fall is Steed, and maybe Wilder. Hopefully Wilder will be cleared but all indications point to guys being ready for fall camp in July.

“Scopes” and “minor knee surgery” can mean so many different things: anywhere from draining fluid, cleaning scar tissue, trimming a meniscus or repairing a meniscus. Repairing meniscus is the most lengthy recovery (1-3 months depending which part and how much of the meniscus was involved) lets hopes it was just a meniscus trim and nothing more complicated....regardless, you always keep fingers crossed when u start cutting into a joint.
