Twitter: Rapaport: Gallimore Hyperextended Left Elbow

[JBond]

Is that the worst. I was looking at that as best case. Hopefully he's back by week 3-4

If it is what I think it is, the recovery will take some time. It is not a three week thing.

They are waiting to hear back from the Rangers on how to proceed.

I was playing linebacker at the Air Force Academy against Colorado, when it was a dominant National power. I shot through a gap and reached between a guard cracking back and a back trying to break outside. I made the tackle, but hyper extended my left elbow.

I played through the 'ouie' and then took x-rays/MRA's on Monday. Nothing was done and I played until the season was over. I then was called to the Doctor, and a cast was put on my arm for six weeks...

Ken Norton Jr. play a Super Bowl season with a torn bicep. Times have change and Cowboy fans have changed to worried about a back up DT with a hyper extended elbow.

"Throw it in the gutter and go buy another" Geno Atkins, David Irving, Jurrell Casey, K Short, or just trade for a great 4th year player on the last year of a rookie deal.

But if there is no sever damage, Gallimore can boot up and suit up for the regular season.

It was absolutely criminal to go into the season with the lack of depth we had at IDL. Relying on a second year player to make a jump as your primary inside pass rusher is just hoping on a dream. Now you real what you sow.

A bad defensive line just got worse. Good thing they have the greatest offense ever assembled in the nfl.

No. Ligaments are way worse than broken bones.

Point to where I say that ligament injuries aren’t worse than broken bones.

Typical recovery time for hyperextended elbow is 3-4 weeks.

I try and be an optimist, but when it comes to injuries I am the biggest pessimist.
Will be extremely fortunate if its 3-4 weeks.

Cardinals averaging 6 yards per run. I thought Banana was supposed to stop that?

He said he would,, something like.. "I am looking forward to crushing RBs and removing QBs helmets".

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I saw one slo-mo replay of it. I thought his elbow was going to explode the way it was going the wrong way.

Yeeesh.

This would be nice. We just have to hope it doesn’t include any torn ligaments or muscles.

 

[Hennessy_King]

I am
Assuming this means x rays were negative. That’s good.

depends now if there’s ligament tears or not.

I think its usually a 3-4 week thing. Hopefully that stays true

Wow you’d think he broke something the way he laid out and rolled around like a pig lolol

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Have seen kids with dislocations, which would be worse than hyperextensions, back on the wrestling mat in 3-6 weeks. My son had a dislocation with a fracture in July, had surgery inserting a screw, and he wrestled about 8 weeks later. It most likely isn't season ending.

Not nuts about an arm injury that will mess with his weight room work since strength is so huge for a DT. But I suppose I'd take an elbow injury over a serious knee injury or something like that.

You think you're funny talking that way? There's nothing funny yucking it up about any injured Cowboys player.

 

[NEODOG]

I asked - got somewhat positive response

Doesn't think anything is broken...but way to much pain for something not to have happened

2nd hand info* - rumor- innuendo- pulling info out of the air etc

 

[Teague31]

They should have Atkins in town on Monday to work him out.

 

[conner01]

Awful news

Never like injuries.. just stings a little bit more when it happens during a preseason game.

Hopefully it’s not serious and he has some time till the season
