so much for this guy this year. the cowboys will wait until training camp and then weber will have surgery and they will have to put him on ir for the season.

 

[Vinnie2u]

I bet 3 or 4 guys get phantom injuries.

 

[Hardline]

So. Is he out for the year or what?

 

[Corso]

Hope he's okay.

Don’t forget.

He will be a game time decision for 8 weeks before they put him on IR

Arthroscopic surgery doesn't take an extraordinary amount of time to rehab and recover from.

I'm hopefully expecting Mike Weber to recover within a time frame that allows him to play.

Of course, if significantly more invasive surgery is required, all of that would probably change.

Seems about right the way they handle these situations in the past.

I don't doubt it. Probably a good way to stash him.

Weber was one that I wanted to watch most in TC. Still may get that chance. If he doesn't get too far behind in OTA's. I guess he can still be there, but will not participate in the glorified walk throughs. Unless he recovers from the rest and treatment and gets in a few of them.

If he has a simple torn meniscus, he'd probably be getting the arthroscopy immediately.
If he has a significant tear of the ACL, he'd need open surgery.

So it's most likely a minor ACL or MCL sprain (clearly discernible on MRI), and will expect complete recovery in 4-6 weeks.

So he is going to the IR for the year...

Time to trade for Duke Johnson guys..or wait on him to be released.

 

[Rayman70]

So. Is he out for the year or what?

no not at all...but it will make him expendable if he isn't ready for camp...

 

[Doc50]

So he is going to the IR for the year...

No, he'll be ready by the end of June.

 

[jrumann59]

No, he'll be ready by the end of June.

tongue in cheek....

The Break made it sound like it was not a big deal and moved on from talking about the injury.

 

[conner01]

A strange injury
So he was hurt walking and it doesn’t require surgery yet he can’t participate
Prior injury many?
Just kinda strange

Why would we want to stash a kid that they were clearly counting on to be a backup RB to Zeke?

If the kid needs surgery, he should have it now. Stashing might make sense if he was a long term project but right now, we have Elliott as the starter and pretty much nothing else.
