Byron Jones Adds to his Legend: Re-sets his own Dislocated Knee

[texbumthelife]

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it. Apparently, Byron Jones suffered a horrible and excruciating dislocated knee Saturday night. However, instead of panicking, he immediately reset the knee and continued to play!

The video in the link is a little gnarly, FYI.

He is so casual about it. It's hilarious!

It has been posted but it so amazing it deserves a double post!!!!

I noticed it live and thought it looled really weird. Appatently it wasn't excruciating though.

Yeah, that was just my assumption having dislocated my ankle and shoulder, but after reading his comments apparently it wasn't painful at all.

Did he REALLY dislocate his knee?
I doubt it very seriously. A dislocated knee isn't like a dislocated shoulder.
If he did, then he's Superman.

I thought "legend" status was reserved for one-of-a-kind phenomenal players. Sorry, but I don't call 55 tackles, 8 passes broken up, 0 interceptions and 0 forced fumbles in 14 games as legendary. Yeah he plays safety, corner, and nickel - but he doesn't play any position extraordinary. And I don't see him getting much better, in fact he looks worse as the season goes on. I'm just not buying into the hype, the dude is just another guy : JAG.
Oh yeah he can jump a mile and run like a deer, but he doesn't do either in a meaningful NFL game....smh.

When I saw that live I thought "That looks like he is adjusting his knee, but that isn't possible. It has to be a knee pad or something".

Isn't he a rookie?

You're that guy who we had to ban 3 times on dallascowboys.com

Sup VOR? I haven't seen you in forever.

I did the same thing when I was his age, it didn't hurt at all. Twenty plus years later my knees hurt all the time.

Wow, so dislocation and he popped it back in. Almost considered a subluxation of the knee.

Wonder if an MRI is in order to see if there was any stress on the ligaments and either meniscus and patella. This type of injury can be also due to a deeper condition where the ligaments are looser than they should be.

Hoping it was a freak thing and not something he ends up doing at a circus somewhere for money due to being out of football.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

He should teach Lee how to do that.

he is GOAT

Nothing to say about the dislocated knee... you know, what the thread is really about?

He's been very good considering he's learning 3 positions and this is his first year in the NFL.

DB is a hard transition from college to NFL. Most take at least 2 years.

 

[jobberone]

Not a dislocation. Maybe a subluxed patella????

 

[CowboyMort]

I have dislocated my knee at least three times. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that I was not that calm. For me it hurts like hell, easy to pop in and 90% of the pain immediately goes away after getting it back where it should be.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

I think the Cowboys have a good one. He is only going to get better with experience...I questioned the pick, a little, but.....

i think they got a good one. Hopefully he stays healthy, and think he will be around for a long long time,

 

[texbumthelife]

The "Legend Status" line was totally tongue in cheek. My goodness, someone peaked in their presents and saw nothing but coal.
