Jaylon's Nerve Update

[xwalker]

not a doctor but FWIW I have nerve damage in my arm my doctor told me that the nerves deep in my arm should come back but the nerves closer to the surface will not. I will be 80% but will have full strength in my arm and full motion i will have some dead zones on the arm where feeling will be muted or non existent like it is permanently numb. I wont feel scratches but will feel pressure.

I have surface nervres in my knee that have been numb for 30 years.

This all seems to contradict what Jaylon and others were saying yesterday ? Oh well ... I will believe none of this or what Jaylon said yesterday .. I will see it when he is actually on the field

This is amazing news. 6-9 months for FULL REGENERATION according to Slater. Ease him
In and unleash the beast next year.

start on PUP, go to IR designate to return possibly

He's going to play.

Tell me one time in history where a player practices in OTAs but wasn't ready for the season?

If the team didn't feel he so ready for football activities, he would be practicing. He may not be 100% yet but he has no risk on reinjury...he's playing.

This thread will be moved to the new Jaylon's Nerve Zone.

Great news

 

[jazzcat22]

It all starts soon, answers will soon be here...or let's hope so.
It will be very disappointing if he is not practicing every other day in some capacity. And that does not mean sideline work as practice.

 

[CATCH17]

So he plays at 80% this season and full go next season?

Something like that is what I'm thinking.

I second that.

• Zeke drama thread
• Jaylons nerve thread
• Sticky on the RKG

Don't forget the Uniform Zone

Uh, no. He is on the field in uniform against the Giants.

Same here. I had knee surgery from a high school basketball injury. It was before scoping so they opened me up with a 7 inch incision. They had to cut across some surface nerves and the Doc told me it would be numb the rest of my life. To this day I never really notice it at all.....

 

[TheFinisher]

The nerve has already regenerated.

These late hurdles are more to do with the neuromuscular junction fully returning from atrophy. We're well past the nerve reconstructing itself.

I said months ago when word broke that he was able to lift his foot and toes that it's only a matter of time until it comes back fully. The nervous system is built to repair itself in that situation.

 

[jobberone]

This does not mean he will sit. He's at near full speed on the field with the brace. The fact the nerve is still showing signs of improvement is not surprising. We need to see how he covers.

 

[dogberry]

I'm still trying to get my little toe to move and figure out how he can move his little toe.

You want a real challenge, try and make the Spock Vulcan sign with your toes.

if Jaylon can do that, watch out Eli.

 

[Blackspider214]

Letting him play with this brace before the nerve is fully regenerated has disaster written all over it.

Sounds reasonable to me. Why rush the kid back and risk catastrophic injury? Do it the right way.

It was only a matter of time before a Zone doctor showed up.

Nope, just a molecular biologist... who, as it turns out, was right after all
