Dez Injury - Any Details yet?

[blindzebra]

In basketball nobody's trying to bring you down by the feet and ankles, and there are hard cuts, jumping on uneven surfaces while being pulled down, players landing hard on you, injuries such as turf toe and more. So, I don't see how my friend's take is moronic.

But that's your opinion.

You don't think basketball players land on feet? Go to the floor in pile-ups? You are comparing getting tackled maybe 8-10 times a game, and making perhaps 20 hard cuts running routes, and jumping 3 or 4 times with running up and down the court 200 times a game, jumping and landing God knows how many times a game, landing off balance multiple times a game, landing on other players feet, having other players land on your feet and playing 3 games a week (sometimes consecutive nights) in a season that lasts from October to June, to playing one game a week for 16 weeks.

Were these medical opinions from these medical professionals involved with any players situation personally.
Now their opinions may be correct to their knowledge of what the have actual experienced, or just what they learned in their studies and is an educated speculative guess. What are their areas of expertise.

A physical therapist helps rehab people, I don't recall them having in depth medical knowledge.
And I had a lot of time in physical therapy. I had both Achilles' tendons operated on. And no physical therapist ever talked medical issues on recovery to me. Other than the importance of the thry to recover itself.
They know of recovery to what they were taught and experienced. But I been told by them, every one is different. I recovered much more quickly than they time they thought and experienced. Joked that I messed up their time frames.

Regardless, I hope they are wrong in their opinions, as I can't say they are wrong or right. Also, are they the type, because of their occupation go with the longer side of recovery, as not to get the average person hope of recovering soon than later.

The individuals I talked to did conflict a tad bit (actually was mom and daughter). Daughter indicated the 8-12 week timeframe and when I said "thanks for starting my day off on a bad note" mom said that he (DEZ) would have the best surgeon best rehab specialists so 4-6 weeks could be possible. But they seemed to indicate that the plate that's put in the foot is the problem because many times something's happens to that. I'm guessing the 8 week timeframe is definitely more likely at this point. Cowboys are notoriously known for underestimating the length of injuries (or hiding them anyway). They also mentioned that once the bone heals, he's going to have to rehab which is why the 8 week timeframe is more realistic.

When dez was dehydrated they should have benched him, I read that bones are more prone to breaking when dehydrated.
The IV makes the player feel better but the bones are not hydrated.

Jerry will want dez back too soon, and dez himself could easily re injure the foot sideline victory jumps, so this could all go bad very easily.

few NFL players who have had this injury say Dez is gone for the year. Starting to feel this is red-shirt year for Cowboys.

He should give this 8 weeks minimum, and up to Playoffs if needed for safety.

Dallas just broke the bank for this bum. Next up Crawford?

You don't want to rush an elite player back from an injury like this.
