Byron Jones hip surgery

[Doc50]

So? He didnt kow he needed surgery 3 months ago? Hearing trade rumors and suddenly heeds surgery?

All players go through physical evaluations at year's end.

A specific medical plan is created for each guy.

Some conditions or injuries will respond to conservative therapy, so that is undertaken in those cases. If the injury does not respond, then surgery may be the next step.

So, we don't always know who needs surgery until other methods are tried and failed.

Going under the knife is always the last resort.
I'm sure at his exit meeting at the end of the year, the Cowboys medical staff laid out a plan with rest being option # 1.
It hasn't helped, option # 2 is now sugery. It's almost April. September is 6 months away - odds are, he'll be ready.
RELAX.

By all accounts it was an issue that could potentially be resolved by rest and time. It wasn’t and surgery was done. I’d be more concerned if it was major surgery that he opted not to have at all due to his pending contract year. Byron is a stand up guy

The latest is that he will only be ready for TC and will miss all the pre-season training and mini-camps...Bad!

Does that make him a hipster?

Is there an Incredible Hulk facepalm meme? You deserve as much of a facepalm as possible for that.

Why do these players wait months to get surgery? Should have had it after they were eliminated by the Rams not into April. Smh

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'm not here to play doctor, and frankly, none of you should be either.

I'm married. There is a very good chance that I would end up, hung, shot and burned alive (maybe worse) if I played doctor around here.

Just saying

No knife involved it is microscopic procedure. My son is having his done in a couple of weeks on an ankle. It is not that big of a deal

Not necessarily. I mean, sometimes there are medical reasons why you don't want to have certain medical procedures done right after the season. Sometimes you have things like family issues or vacations or what have you, that are planned that you want to do and medical procedures basically prevent this. I mean, they have lives as well and you can't really ask them to put all that on ignore because that's why you play. You do this so you can put yourself in position to enjoy these kinds of things. To me, the important thing is to get these procedures done and be ready to play the next season. If that's no in jeopardy, I'm OK with the timing of this. JMO though.

Work has to come first. If they are making their living playing football then they should be doing everything they can to be in position to be available as much as possible.

I agree though that sometimes there may be medical reasons why a surgery is delayed. Some injuries could heal on their own.

He waited to see if non-surgery and rest would work, pretty normal stuff here. The injury explains his struggles in last few games, Byron is not going anywhere.

 

[Hadenough]

No wonder the Rams destroyed us. Seems like the only people on the field healthy for us was our LB's and Jeff Heath.

We can actually thank LVE for the Rams success at running. He would get caught up in the wash and was unable to shed his blocker.
I think LVE has ptsd over that pulling guard coming around like a road grader and taking him out every other play.The funny thing is coming out of college the knock on him was his inability to shed blockers.

 

[Hadenough]

Jones was having a great season and PFF had him at one point the top CB in the league. I wonder what game he hurt his hip.

 

[Whyjerry]

Hip surgery for a CB sounds bad.

The parallels between he and Lawrence are interesting. Both guys were busts their first couple seasons.

 

[coult44]

They are saying he'll be ready for training camp.

When your a freak athletically, the body is going to have problems. This man is like a cheetah or a super human robot, and eventually his parts are going to need to be oiled.

If it's hip labrum surgery - it is a long recovery.

My 22 year old son had it done. He was walking the same day and back to his full workout in 3 months.
Fyi. He graduated from Airborne last week.

 

[ondaedg]

Great! That makes it a guarantee that he will get his first career in-coverage interception this coming season.
