I don’t get this reference.Let's get the King of Reading Press Releases to pore over this one for its significance.

Even if he was cleared for Bama, don't send that kid out there for that.Worst case scenario ****. No way he is back for Bama. We need to start back up and then let King work his way back for hopefully the ACC stretch of our schedule.
this sucks so bad.

Oh i get it. Just giving an example. Him walking to the lockerroom didn't mean much to me except showing his toughness.I hear what you are saying, but D-1 football has doctors right there. I could understand if King chose to walk to the locker room, but once a doctor has examined him, it would seem counter-productive to just let him walk around on the sideline of a football game if it could make things worse.
Anyhow, that's why I was asking the orthopedic surgeon. Just curious.

Expected to be ready in 7 months? Partial tear or what? That’s not realistic.
I agree. We already respect him and know how tough he is. Just get better now though. Gut wrenched for the kid.Yeah. Just seems weird for guys to do that after they've been on the ground for several minutes. Take the cart, and get well ASAP.
I agree they’re all different.Its possible. Just depends how well he responds to the rehab.
Everyone is different, so please try to understand there is a HUGE gray area when talking about coming back from this injury. Imo, you’re really not at 100.0% for about a year, generally. Sometimes a bit more. A lot of that being mental, obviously. But, as much as he relies on his legs, he’s not a WR or DB where his entire game is predicated on cutting every single play. He can be effective at say, 95%, just as a general BS example.
That being said, some kids bounce back quickly. Amari Rodgers had ACL surgery in March 2019 and was playing in games 6 months later. It’s doable. It’ll be tough, but it’s absolutely possible for him to be ready near camp or the beginning of the season.
I tore my ACL, MCL, and both meniscuses 3 months ago on a similar cut in a rugby game. Freak accident for King, hoping for a speedy recoveryI reviewed the film on the King injury and looked at the slow motion replay. As an aside, I am an orthopedic surgeon.
A few things I gathered:
1. Truly a freak injury. Probably a move he has made thousands of times in his career without incident.
2. It is definitely concerning regarding a possible ACL injury as he was pivoting when the knee gave out.
BUT
A couple of factors that are giving me hope that it may not be as bad as expected.
1. It is possible that the MCL or medial meniscus could only be injured, without the ACL involved. That is because his knee seemed to buckle medially, meaning toward his other leg.
2. It is taking a long time for an official announcement on the injury status, which could mean that there are multiple treatment options for the injury at hand, which is typical for meniscus injuries as well as MCL injuries. This could mean that he is waiting on second opinions on treatment options which would correlate with these other injuries.
Complete ACL injuries do not require multiple opinions, as they are always treated surgically in the athletic population.
Anyway, just a few thoughts as we all sit here praying that it is NOT an ACL injury.
Dam sorry to hear that. Injuries suck!I tore my ACL, MCL, and both meniscuses 3 months ago on a similar cut in a rugby game. Freak accident for King, hoping for a speedy recovery
Unless that phrase is aimed at retaining certain players and attracting new portal players...Miami wouldn't include the part about "Expected back for the start of fall camp" for no reason
Now you know what I have and have not read? And did you take my response as disrespectful, if that why you quoted it? and felt the need to jump in and white knight? You are a joke.Look, you've never read a single UM medical report. You've seen some press releases, and you've compared the dates of press releases to the dates of the injuries. That's it.
An orthopedic surgeon posted a well-written analysis filled with caveats. You then "respectfully" disagreed with him because you are some self-appointed expert on reading press releases.
But, hey, you're going to keep doing your thing. Continue to mope and worry and argue with doctors because another day passes without an official UM press release. What a joke.
