Didn't know Martin was hurting. Our best runs this season went right

 

[Machete]

Zack?!?!?! ***!!!

 

[Teague31]

Sounds like Tyron won’t be getting back surgery

 

[conner01]

Pretty common for players to get some work in the off season
Kinda like a tune up lol
The human body just isn’t built for the wear they put on them

Sounds like Tyron won’t be getting back surgery

I thought he'd be the first to get surgery. Hopefully all he needs is rest.

 

[Titleist]

Good. The pro bowl is a waste of time anyway

 

[beware_d-ware]

I had heard Collins was playing on a bum foot. Maybe that explains why he took a step back this year.

Sounds like Tyron won’t be getting back surgery

As he shouldn't. I would be worried if he had gotten surgery.

 

[Jipper]

As he shouldn't. I would be worried if he had gotten surgery.

He needs something different in the off-season though....we need him healthy next year....maybe some more yoga for the big guy

so how do you cure herniated discs?

No they will wait until July for that!

 

[cowboy_ron]

Didn't know he was requiring surgery, but he should be good to (hopefully) by TC.

 

[Szczepanik]

so how do you cure herniated discs?

You cannot "cure" anything. Removing a part of a disc also brings inherent instability in that area of the spine, depending on how large needs to be removed. If possible, conservative treatment that focus on maintaining a spine in a neutral position will prevent discogenic materials from irritating the nerve roots. In other words, a good core strengthening and muscle balancing regimen is the first option before surgery depending on severity.

Math checks out.

I am glad he underwent the surgery this early in the off-season. I can't stand when player wait until training camp to go under the knife. We need a healthy Martin as quick as possible. Heads up move on his part. Now for the healing and rehab.

I think I need surgery also, the Eagles fans will not quit chirping since we did not make the postseason.

But will surgery help Collins? If it does the defensive line will be really good. Hey Blackthorn.

LOL....Like I said ...quitter. The guy is just here to collect a check. Just plan on him missing all of the 2018 OTAs and mini camps. Then will rush to have "surgery" because he didn't heal properly...just in time to miss all of training camp.

Mark it down...

The thought of some was that Zack didnt have as good a year as in the past, maybe this had something to with it.

But IIRC its at least one disc in his neck.
