Prognosis For Recovery

[ThreeSportStar80]

I am now hearing fans who are freaking out over the Felix injury.

I have heard players come back from turf toe and are never the same.

I do not know. Does anyone here know if he can make a 100% recovery without losing speed and cutting ability?

I don't believe his injury is considered to be turf toe, my sources (my cousin is a surgeon familiar with these types of injuries) believe he'll have a 100% recovery.

Jonathon Stewart of the Carolina Panthers had the same injury and surgery right around the draft, and he seems to be having a pretty good rookie season.

Yeah Felix had some toe issues in college as well...

Charles Woodson comes to mind.

Can you give links? According to Chris Mortensen, whose son plays for Arkansas, and followed FElix Jones pretty well and others, have said, Felix never had any injury issues at Arkansas. ANd I don't remember anything about Felix having injury issues as well.

I'm pretty sure he's making it up.

Yeah, I am too, but wanted to give benifit of doubt.

From what I've read, it's only a chronic problem if you try to play on it for a while and permanently damage the joint. He didn't do that. Theoretically, surgery will repair the ligament, and he'll be fine by June.

Yep. In all the cases of people in the NFL who've had this linger on them it always seemed like it was the guys who wouldn't shut it down and kept trying to play on it.

Charles Woodson comes to mind.

He's the prime example of having one linger for a long time because he never shut it down and kept trying to play on it.
