Twitter: Cooper's Injury Could Be More Serious Than Publicized

[AsthmaField]

In other words, the dreaded Plantar fasciitis. Calling it an irritation just sounds a little less scary.

Terrence Newman played like 20 years with that every year.

It just has to be managed.

They were saying he just had a bruised heal and now its more of a ligament thing? Something only surgery may fix affectively ending Coop's season before it gets started? If this is the situation, put him on ice, franchise tag him for 2020 and let's get Dak and Zeke paid now so we can have a chance at doing something this years.

Dak is about to get exposed, he better sign that $30 million deal.

Stephen had better get that off the table asap.

Who mentioned surgery?

 

[JoeKing]

I’d take the offer off table if I was JJ. You dont pay that to a QB who gets elevated by better players around him.

You pay the big bucks to guys that make journeyman look like all pros.

You wouldn't have put the offer on the table in the first place and we'd have Dak and Zeke holding out.

I did, didn't you just read it?

Sounds like plantar fasciitis.

Had that in both feet simultaneously once. That was a long 8 months. Hurt like a mother when I got out of bed, and feet would fatigue quickly.

I did, didn't you just read it?

Did you just pull it out of the air? Why stop there? You could go full amputation.

Reports are it’s Plantar fasciitis.

Considering that Plantar fasciitis really has extreme variation in seriousness and how long it lasts. This could either be nothing that will impact him at all once games start, or something that affects him all season.

Really no way to know for sure.

 

[MarcusRock]

Thanks a lot Zeke!

He isn’t getting surgery.

They will give him better support in his shoes.

Rest, ice, stretches, physical therapy, etc.

Even if it still bothers him, he can play with pain management.

The only issue would be if it hurts bad enough that it reduces the speed and quickness that makes Cooper so special. But that’s a big IF. And no indication that’s the case yet.

 

[CWR]

Great just what we need to start the season. We never get to start off without injury and drama.

If he misses time then Elliot may get paid.

We suck on odd years. Its all falling into place. Smh

If he misses time there is no urgency to pay Zeke because we were trash without Coop.

Yep, I've had it for 25 years and the pain comes and goes with the amount of torque I put on it but I stop short of running NFL WR routes. The problem with that injury is it is worse for a WR like an Achilles is for a CB because of how they have to use their feet. It is also a very easy ailment to inflame and rest is the only remedy unless one wants the surgery.

If that's the case, which it may be, then why would we pay any of them?

If it requires all three players, and one gets hurt, then we're screwed no matter what.

His rote running is based on foot placement and the ability to push off at angles, if this continues into the season, I cannot see it not affecting his greatest strength, route running. This is akin to a QB having a bad throwing shoulder.

I do not think he has a history of this so this does not have to be an ongoing thing.

I asked the question but you are acting like I declared it to be fact. Chill out.

 

[Kolemmitt]

I have plantar fasciitis. Bugged more for a long time, but I figured out how to manage it now I can jog and run sprints every morning. And I am a middle-aged chubby guy.
I don't see how this can be too long of an issue.

@WillieBeamen

If dak ball without Zeke and Coop

That's silly, that's like saying Aikman wasn't great without Emmitt or Irvin or any one of the three without one of the others. Wait, OK, not silly.

You touch on an interesting point, how was Aikman without one or both of the other two? And this is a HOF QB.
