I like anything that's Free.. except an injury to him.

I need an update, my Cowboy fanaticism has been tempered by a huge post-graduate workload and the pressures of living in lala land.

I know Free was drafted with high regard, i'm assuming lamentations over his injury are based on the fact he's performed up to expectations, yes?

I hope that's the case, need that o-line strong and young.

This is a tough break for the kid. It might just land him on IR. That's what I hate about the preseason.

 

[AbeBeta]

in the other forum it says it isn't serious and he should be ready for the start of the season. so I'd expect no IR.

Sprains are injuries to the tough ropelike fibers (ligaments) that connect bone to bone. If you have a severe sprain, your symptoms may not be much different from those you would have with a broken bone. Health professionals rank sprains by degree of severity.

A first-degree sprain stretches the ligaments but does not tear them. Signs and symptoms may include:

Mild to moderate swelling and pain.
A stable joint that does not feel loose or wobbly.
Normal movement.


A second-degree sprain partially tears the ligaments. Signs and symptoms may include:

A pop or snap felt or heard at the time of the injury.
Moderate to severe pain and swelling.
Restricted movement.
Bruising.
Mild to moderate instability.

A third-degree sprain completely tears the ligaments. Signs and symptoms may include:

A pop or snap felt or heard at the time of the injury.
Mild to severe pain (pain is sometimes less in a complete tear than in a partial tear).
Severe swelling and bruising (often, but not always).
An unstable joint (feels wobbly or loose).
A grating sound or feeling.
A bulge (sometimes) at the site of a complete tear.
A change in sensation, such as numbness or tingling.
Recovery time for a sprain can vary, depending on a person's age and health and the severity of the sprain. A minor sprain in a healthy person may heal in a few days to a few weeks. A severe sprain can take several months to heal and may never heal completely, resulting in long-term pain, limited movement, deformity and instability of the joint, and repeated injuries.

First aid for a sprain includes rest (immobilization), ice, compression, and elevation. While a minor sprain will often heal well with home treatment, a moderate to severe sprain may require medical treatment, such as a cast or splint, physical therapy, medication, or surgery.

Free update

Rookie tackle Doug Free has suffered a slight sprain of his right MCL, but the injury will not require surgery. He will miss some time, but is expected to be ready for the start of the season.


He suffered the injury during the Cowboys' touchdown drive in the third quarter on Thursday night in the preseason opener, but did not leave the game until after Tyson Thompson scored on a short run.


Free went to the Cowboys practice facility today for treatment as well as an MRI. Free told people if he had to play or practice he could.

I like his attitude......

I hope he is out the minimal amount of time....

Best news I've got all day.

By definition, a knee sprain is an injury to a knee ligament. The sprain may vary in severity from a slight stretch to a complete tear of the ligament. A mild, or grade 1, sprain simply stretches the ligament and causes pain and swelling. A moderate, or grade 2, sprain partially tears the ligament and is much more disabling. A severe, or grade 3, sprain is a complete rupture and often needs surgical repair.

I've had some MAJOR knee problems since high school and I know what it's like for those guys!

I had it scoped to clean it up and then ACL replacement surgery the following year. I have arthritis in it now and it is very aggravating..... I'm only 39!:bang2:
