Jaylon Smith says he “absolutely” will play this year

[Bull Frog]

Or if it starts.

Clearly, the kid uses his faith in God as motivation during his rehab. It's nothing new, and it's carried him this far. No need to get our underwear in a bunch over it.

By medical reasonable probability, is it most likely of another injury to occur in the same knee? Once a ligament tears, then repaired and muscles and tissue around the knee are fully recovered as a result of the surgery, the entire anatomy around the knee is weaker before the original injury, correct?

As it is, we know he tore several ligaments in his knee. Is it publicly known which ligaments he tore?

Lateral movements playing the game of football is very extreme especially the linebacker position. Also, overcoming the mental aspect from the injury also takes the most time.

Investing in a player with a knee injury in football is a Huge risk especially in the NFL draft where an organization has the opportunity to select players to improve the team.

I really feel bad for Jaylon as a person and as a player in regards to what he is having to go through.

Marcus Lattimore wanted it as bad as anyone and worked incredibly hard and couldn't come back from this injury. I have my doubts about whether Smith will.

Yep, and knowing our luck, we'll get a taste of how awesome he can be in 2017, only for it all to be a tease once he tears it again....

This may sound weird, but I don't want him to rush it. Let it be right.

Jerry will rush him to justify this pick.He knows all the negativity right now behind this pick. He's an egomaniac. He rushed Romo back to try and salvage a season that was headed nowhere.

I know the guy is a great player when healthy but taking chances on injured players hasn't worked out for the Cowboys. This is one of the reasons they've drafted so poorly in the second round over the past decade. They take big gambles on injured players and TEs and they never pay off. No way are they going to rush this kid back or it may damage his chances of ever recovering to where he can return to playing at a high level. Who knows where Smith's game will be by 2017 he may never regain the form he had. I didn't like the pick we should have picked a healthy player who can help us this year.

I'm just going to forget this pick ever happened and hopefully 2 or 3 years from now he'll make his debut.

Well you're in typical draft form.

He's a Patriots fan.

The team that was reportedly going to take him.

Way to ruin a kid's dream, Cowboys.

Uhm... I'm generally shocked by the lack of knowledge about nerve damage in the media. This is not the 1980's... Assuming a competent surgeon and decent imaging facilities it is incredibly rare to not know whether there is permanent nerve damage. The team knows with very little doubt that the feeling will return. They probably even have a timeframe + or - a couple of months.

Guys, relax. If we didn't take Jaylon then we would have drafted a healthy tight end to sit on the bench next year. I'm used to us wasting our 2nd round picks.

well at least its not as bad as Apple bein a Sheagles fan and gettin picked by the Midgets.....

 

[texbumthelife]

Do you know the first thing about nerve damage?

Would you still take him of there was a very good chance he would NEVER play again?

Wake up and learn to think for yourself

Oh, the irony...

 

[Bowdown27]

Best player in draft if healthy. I hope he recovers. Rooting for him.

Literally. If he didn't get hurt top 2-3 in this draft. Kid can be the biggest steal

The most troubling part of that is his handle is yolo.

 

[RoboQB]

I wish I could squat/leg press that much with 2 good legs and all good nerves lol

Never skip leg day at the gym...lol

 

[Tass]

Well, if God is doing the work then I guess we all have nothing to worry about. Gimme a break, please.

Makes you wonder why all these guys have surgery when they get hurt.

Why don't they just ask God to fix their torn whatevers? A lot cheaper, less painful, and no ugly scar.

How do you go through life. Do you have kids? Is this the attitude you teach them?
