Twitter: Pollard says he tore his left plantar fascia

[lkelly]

Imagine being that Saints DB and knowing that you couldn't even catch, with the angle, a guy running with a broken wheel.

2288--- this is season ending from what i have gathered?....but



Woody this is what i was able to locate medical journal of torn or ruptured plantar fascia------Recovery time was varied. Ten feet were asymptomatic by 6 months post rupture, four feet by 12 months post rupture, and 26 feet remained symptomatic 1 year post rupture. Our findings demonstrate that plantar fascia rupture after corticosteroid injection may result in long-term sequelae that are difficult to resolve.

this is no game time decision stuff unless the reporting is inaccurate

The word sequelae isn't used enough on this forum. I believe it's the noise that Jerry makes after he drinks a particularly large belt of scotch. Usually followed by a sly grin and maybe some leering at the latest girlfriend his grandson brought into the owner's box.

Planters fasciitis. You can run on it, you can’t walk on it. I’ve had it it freaking hurts

 

[Whirlwin]

Didn't Amari Cooper have this issue (not this season) and continued to play through it?

No

 

[Whirlwin]

He'll be missed, but it's not like we lost Derrick Henry or something

No we just lost the guy that’s been responsible For most of the backfield yardage

 

[GORICO]

Woody--unless reporting is inaccurate....cannot find anyone coming back from torn or ruptured plantar fascia any less than 6 months?.....i have torn through medical journals which are available to public....and the "ito" guy is no replacement at all for Pollard...i mean as far as quality...and with Zeke hurting?....i hope our player personnel dude pulls rabbit out of his hat?

 

[Whirlwin]

He tore his plantar fascia. This is different.


I’m wondering if he tore it during or at the end of the play because he still blew the doors off the Saints defense but he got pushed at the end.

This might be nothing but a mild pain issue that he can run on with no issue.

You can run with it, you can’t walk with it. As long as you don’t have to go on your heel

 

[GORICO]

Sit him.

You want him ready to go come playoff time.

aint happening...cowboys just dont give out real bad news all at once..drip drip drip

 

[CowboyRoy]

IF he tore it then he is done for at least this game and maybe longer.

i just copied and paste...from a dumbed down medical journal....i did not care myself for that word as recovery time for ruptured area Pollard has...no less than 6 months...but maybe they do this cortisone shoot him up and go play stuff....highly doubt it........unless reporting is inaccurate....torn or ruptured area his season is over....hope i am so wrong i will take all the heat if we can somehow get a healthy Pollard back

 

[CowboyRoy]

blame the coaches and tell coaches to play pollard more and this is why..we now know why the fans need to shut up and let the coaches coach..poor zekes limping and had to close out the game..poor pollard, he isnt zeke..

egg on all your faces saying pollard needed more snaps after that big run and turns out he hurt himself..smh

coaches know what's up, you all dont..pollards also not a lead back you can count on for a heavy load weve been saying this and no one listens. He never got touched and hurt himself..

Kamara, cooks, and Cmac and others all keep landing on the inured list and missing games..thats why..its tough game the fact zeke only missed one game in 5 years dude to injury with his heavy load says all you need to know about lead back vs a change of pace style back..

Its a shame hes hurt but his only advantage over zeke was a big run here and there.. with foot he will struggle to even offer anything to a regulars run game..

Nope he was better in the passing game as well.

LOL.........a big run here and there. Nothing great about that. Lets just brush aside the big plays. Who needs those anyway right?

 

[Qcard]

Pollard is fragile.

Uh oh

Looks like a duck...

I think folks understand now why Pollard can't get bulk touches..Zeke is a legit 220lbs and still gets wrecked.

This game is inhumane...by design

 

[nhcowboysfan]

This is a problem.

That isn't healing as soon as he thinks.

We can't get through a game without losing 2-3 players.

Or a week of practice.

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

Yikes! Just looked up the normal healing time and it says 9-12 weeks

Shelve him now and he'll be ready in time for training camp in Oxnard.

 

[slick325]

No

It was plantar fasciitis in 2019. He didn't tear his plantar fascia.

 

[Cowpolk]

Didn't Amari Cooper have this issue (not this season) and continued to play through it?

Injuries do not stop Coop

 

[HungryLion]

Mine took a year.

It's a nagging, annoying injury that takes forever to heal because it's weight bearing.

But apparently it's better if you completely tear it as Pollard has. I still can't imagine it not being an issue the rest of the season.

I’m dealing with it right now. It makes me want to rip my foot off some days because it’s so annoying.

 

[HungryLion]

Pain aside, can you run on it?

I can do everything I need with the injury. Including ride my bicycle, motorcycle, etc.


it’s painful and annoying at times but doesn’t limit me.

but I also don’t run a 4.4 getting chased by defenders and have to make sharp cuts, etc.

 

[JBS]

Pollard is fragile.

doubt it. He’s never been hurt. He scores one long td and now he’s holding out for a new contract.
