Hurts update sounds more serious than first reported

[rocknrobcowboy]

From what I have read Hurts has a grade 2 sprain in his throwing shoulder, visible tear in the ligaments. He may come back week 18 if need be but there is still uncertainty of how his shoulder will respond.

Many diseases, conditions, and injuries are described using grades, stages, or types. Usually these classifications or groups represent a range from mild to severe. They are often numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 or I, II, III, IV. Sometimes one problem is even classified using more than one method.

Acromioclavicular (AC) separation was first classified as I, II, and III in the early 1960s. Three additional grades (IV, V, VI) were added in 1984. Type I is a sprain of the AC ligaments. The ligament isn’t torn and repair isn’t needed. Nothing else around the joint is damaged.

The AC ligament is torn with a "Type II" injury.<---------- The muscles around the joint aren’t injured. Type III occurs as a result of a severe trauma to the joint. Type III is equal to a dislocation of the joint. An X-ray of this type will show one clavicle (collar bone) lifted up above the other clavicle. The clavicle is no longer level with the acromion bone on the other side of the joint.

Types IV, V, and VI are all grades of Type III. Each type is a little more serious than the number before it. Type IV is also a dislocation of the AC joint. Instead of being displaced (pushed) up, the clavicle is moved backward or pushed into the trapezius muscle. Type V is the worst form of Type III injury.

Even if Hurts returns in Week 18 or early in the playoffs, I would expect him to be a lot more gun shy about running the football. This will hurt Filly’s offense in both their running and passing games. Because his ability to run made his passing easier. If he’s forced to simply be a pocket passer we will probably be seeing 2021 Hurts- the one that led them to a 9-8 season last year.

Not to mention an operation on his shoulder in the offseason.

If Hurts is injured for the playoffs, the only team that is truly capable of stopping us is ourselves. The NFC is super weak this year.

San Francisco has entered the chat.

Minshew is the better QB. Hurts may be better in the Eagles' system but that system is designed for Hurts and not Minshew.

Make no difference to me. The Cowboys are going to the Superbowl regardless of who the opponent is. F- Philly, Hurts there inbred center, and the whole garbage town.

In Dak we trust.

Go Dallas!!!

Love seeing positive posts like this. It's crazy to think that on a COWBOYS fan site that there's so much negativity towards our team.

GO COWBOYS!!!

Not really concerned about their QB

Not really concerned about their QB

It is their defense that scares me.

If the injury wasn’t that serious they would play him on Sunday to lock up the NFC East and the first seed. That way they could rest him in week 18. If the Cowboys win tomorrow night and Hurts doesn’t play on Sunday and Philly loses it’s going to get real interesting in week 18.

They have not played many good offenses.
KC
Miami, but they had issues moving the ball at times on middle of the pack defenses.
TB, but they too had their offensive issues at times
LAC, but at the time missing their 2 top WR's I believe.

This smells like NFL competitive propaganda. He will be just fine.

Hurts is an excellent running QB. But ALL running QBs are a ticking time bomb for an injury. The history of this league has shown if you want your QB running the ball more than a few times a game, be prepared to use your backup.

Yep. His legs are what makes him such a threat, but there’s always a price to pay for it. Eventually the bill comes due. History shows there’s almost a zero chance of avoiding it.

All he needs is another man land on him, and he's done.

They didn't shed a tear for us when Dak got hurt or Tyron. Eagles fans will be alright. Next man up or play hurt.....

Ugh. I’m one game away from a fantasy title. Been riding Hurts all year. Now I’m going to be forced to Watson or Danny Dimes.

 

[cowboyec]

eagles arrogance has finally caught'm.
you can't run your qb like a full-back and expect no consequences.

every who down in whoville cried
