Jalen Ramsey Tears Meniscus

[tyke1doe]

My fault.

I saw an injury coming. I never said what injury, I'm not psychic.

What made you anticipate an injury coming? Was Ramsey injury prone?

Man...when it rains it pours. Is there any vid of how the injury occurred?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- At the time of the diagnosis, he was not yet a hot-shot recruit but a short teenager hoping for a growth spurt that would make him one.

The doctor delivered the difficult news: Jalen Ramsey would need microfracture surgery on his right knee, ending his high school sophomore season before it even began. He cried, heartbroken.

He had microfracture surgery in high school.

Same knee, not good.

LOL!

Kudos to that girl having the wits to quickly get out of the way.

That sucks. Some things can't be helped so it does help knowing we got a pretty healthy player through his college career (RB at that) with our pick. No matter how you spin it, that's unfortunate and it sucks to lose your first round guy. Big blow. Let's hope we don't get any freak accidents either. Knock on wood. Any news on how it occurred? Since it is no contact I assume he planted his foot wrong.

I don't want to accuse Ramsey of anything so I want to say that from jump street.

But when guys get injured merely by planting or cutting, it makes me very suspicious. I'm not saying this is in every case, but I believe many of these non-contact injuries are the result of steroids or PED because they stretch the ligaments to a point where they're trying to keep up with the artificial growth of the body, and they sometimes just can't take it and they give.

I'm not saying this is the case for Ramsey because he doesn't have the body of a typical PED user, but I just took this opportunity to reinforce something I believe is all too common in the sports world.

that's gold! I will place a $25 bet on Adele. I trust she has a last name?

Her full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (no ****)

If you ask me it has to do with athletes getting significantly stronger by way of muscle mass and being exceedingly faster in a relatively short period of time so bones and tendons haven't had time to evolve to catch up. If you look at athletes from just 20 years ago, their physiques and athletic abilities are night and day different. It also has to do with kids hitting the weights and supplements too soon, before their bodies have fully developed, which weakens joints.

Why, because the same exact thing would have happened to him if he was at a Dallas OTA?

I understand what you are saying, and anyone of us could say the same, but maybe maybe there is something with his knee that might of made him prone to an injury like this. minimum chance of that may be, but is still possible so....

 

[windward]

How in the heck could you see this coming?

Visions, I'm assuming.

Wow, I guess Zeke is the right decision, not questions asked.

Jerry Jones made a great decision at #4

Did we mention this on this forum. New to me is all. Same knee doesn't look good.

Interesting, I had no idea, thank you!

 

[Rogerthat12]

No, Ramsey actually had microfracture to this knee previously

Did not know thank you for the info.

@Doc50 any insight on what the prognosis is on meniscus tears to a knee you already had microfracture surgery on?
