Jalen Ramsey Tears Meniscus

[erod]

Dang it. I hate this part of football. Especially before they even get going. Sounds like he'll be fine though.

At least he got his money before the injury, unlike Jaylon Smith.

Sean Lee just heard the news ........ and now he is out 6 months with a sympathy injury.

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

It had been brought up. He was young enough when it happened and had no further problems with it at FSU so I don't think it was a big deal at that point. Teams were aware of it and we didn't hear a peep about concerns regarding the knee.

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

same knee. not good.

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.

I can go with that. I don't want to say everything is a matter of PEDs and steroids, but something is different.
We used to rip and run, play sports, jump out of two story windows, and we never so much as pulled a hamstring.

So it's kind of hard for me to relate to the cut-and-tear situations I read so frequently today.

Just goes to show that these teams have access to a lot more info than we will ever have sitting at home. Word is that Tunsil may have fallen due to a pre arthritic ankle, could potentially be a big issue down the road.

You and me both man. I probably couldn't jump off from from the second floor now but knowing I did it a few times in my youth reminds me how exciting it was and that I'm getting old lol.

You would think Jalen Ramsey was a family member of some in here by your comments. Jeez...were talking bout minor knee injury not open heart surgery.

Sounds like the Jags need to do some glorified walk throughs to me!

Btw anybody else uncomfortable about all of our players practicing on field turf when they move to the Star??

The previous knee situation was certainly written here on these forums though it may have been in the Draft Zone.

Assumed most everyone here following pre-draft knew about his previous knee injury which happened as a kid he was 15-16 years old, it is considered a non-issue that will not effect the current status with the new injury.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

Hopefully he will be back quickly. I have the jags as my sleeper playoff pick.

even if it was 4 months instead of 4 weeks he will be back by the start of the year

I don't think any doctor would say it's a non issue. The new cartilage from microfracture usually isn't as strong as the original. Nobody knows the long term of it either.

 

[lostar2009]

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

Knowing this team luck it wold have been worst.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

If Jalen and Jaylon return on 4 months, who goes first in the Draft?

Does anyone know what the odds are for re-injury with this kind of surgery for a cb/s? is it "almost no chance" or "worse than average"
wonder how much this weighed in the decision to draft Zeke

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

The integrity of the tibial plateau has been good since high school, so that specific problem area which required microfracture should still be ok, considering he did not sustain a collision or a blow that would traumatize that surface. However, the meniscus is much more vulnerable in anyone's knee, and can be torn loose just on a plant-and-cut move.

That being said, it would be prudent for the owners of his contract to assure the viability of his articular cartilage, giving them peace of mind that that he'll be cleared for normal workouts in just a few weeks.

Just having his previous injury should have devalued him a bit from the start, but the meniscus tear will be removed and will not continue to be a problem.

It is funny to note. But then not surprising since a good chunk of this board still can't get over the fact Dallas decided they didn't want him.

I am just wondering how long the black armbands will stay on.

well looks like at least once in 5 years.
wonder if Zeke has any hidden injuries like this.
