A seperated shoulder is one of those injury's that doesnt keep yuo out that long, but the soreness literally can take months to go away and sometimes stiffness lasts for years. My dad had one back in college and it still bothers him when it gets cold

The key will be whether or not there is ligament damage. If there is, Washington is in trouble. If not, CP will be fine by opening day

LOL - I was about to say that my dad got one back when he played baseball in his early 20s and still can't sleep on that shoulder.

But it's just soreness, he'll be fine.

Mmm so in the worst, he will be surely back for the start of the season...
the Skins without portis can start forgetting to score points...

Sounds like Clinton is gonna get a visit from "Dr. I don't know",,,

Again, the key is ligament damage. If he stretched or even tore any of the ligaments or tendions in his shoulder, his effectiveness will be reduced this year

If he tore a ligament, I doubt he will be back before week 3-4

 

[RiggoForever]

Skins aint exactly keeping it vanilla are they?

On offense we definately were.

 

[Parche]

It would be nice

CP's shoulder dislocation was classified as a grade 2, with possible upgrade to a grade 3 if there is severe ligament damage:

Grade 2: Moderate sprain with a tear of the AC joint and a partial tear of coraco-clavicular (CC) ligaments. This injury causes a slight elevation of the clavicle (actually a drop of the humerus) and results in greater pain (than in Grade 1) and loss of shoulder mobility. Treatment is RICE and rehabilitation.

Grade 3: Severe sprain with tear of both the AC joint and the CC ligaments. The clavicle appears to be elevated 1 width above the joint, and there is a visible bump on the shoulder. Treatment depends on which shoulder is injured (i.e., is it the patient's dominant side? Is the patient involved in physical activities?) The injury can be treated well with either RICE and rehabilitation, or surgery to stabilize the shoulder. The shoulder can also be stabilized later with surgical reconstruction.

I want to point out that when TO originally started getting hurt, even ES.com didn't (for the most part) slink to joy over that info.

funny how when costas refers to guys doing something great he's always talking to Bettis and Sharpe and never Collinsworth.:laugh2:

 

[Parche]

Yeah, but CP will be back in week 3-4 so its no big deal and we can entertain ourselves watching the skins try to get something going without CP on the first games of the season.

I really doubt it's that serious that he would need surgery, which is why he would be out that long

 

[InmanRoshi]

Actually, I think it is a big deal. He had chronic neck and shoulder problems at the end of last year as well. As I said in another post, Portis has taken just an unGodly amount of punishment his first two years under Gibbs. 700 carries, close to 800 touches, and that's not counting the way he throws his body into pass protection. I give him a lot of credit for his toughness, but his style and bodyframe does not lend itself to a long career. I had him pegged as a serious injury candidate this year. I passed on him in some of my fantasy drafts even though consensus said he was the best player on the board.

How many of those touches were in year one alone?

You know, both sites are large enough that you are going to have a voice from the Idiot Brigade. There's just no getting around it unless you ban more than you keep.

That being said, I wish so many didn't feel the need to pick posts from these folks (on either side) and report back to another site that "ES" or CZ" is saying ... blah, blah, blah. These folks may reflect negatively on a site, but they aren't the be-all end-all.

OK ... off my soap box and back to the game.
