As someone with a previous AC joint disorder, I sympathize with our star receiver's pain and discomfort.
#88 has a partial tear of the ligaments connecting the end of the clavicle (collarbone) with the acromion bone. Playing football and getting knocked to the ground can cause a full separation. I hope our playmaker gets the best medical care.
I do not understand his wearing minimal shoulder pads. For an "AC joint sprain," he needs special shoulder pads. Very few orthopedic docs truly know shoulders well. Most are experts on knees.
A long time ago, I sent All-Pro WR Mark Clayton of the Dolphins to a shoulder expert, an outside medical expert who saved his season after the Fins' doc said he was out for the year with an AC joint injury. This other private doc, a disciple of the legendary doc Frank Jobe, MD, properly diagnosed the injury, treated it properly, reducing the severe inflammation and provided Clayton with special shoulder pads the Fins' doc knew nothing about. As a result, Clayton returned to the team and played well the rest of the year.
I pray for Cee Dee getting the best medical care this nations' shoulder specialists can provide.
I refer you all to a video which illustrates the AC joint injuries:
