Twitter: Stephen Jones: Claiborne suffered a torn patellar tendon; Out for year

Not to be insensitive, but it seems fitting that Claiborne gets injured while being pushed around by a player roughly the same size as him. Routine play vs Stills. Didn't even do a good job jamming the receiver. Barely touched. Backpedaling on his heels. He's got a body made of papier måché.

Are there lemon laws in Texas?

That's a tough deal for Mo. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that's the final nail in his Cowboys career.

Recovery & Prognosis:
Recovering from a torn patellar tendon is difficult and takes time. One of the most important prognostic factors for recovery is the time to surgery, and surgery delayed beyond a few weeks can limit recovery ability. It is known that early mobility after surgery, protected strengthening, and preventing excessive stress on the repair will speed overall recovery. Even with these steps, there is a minimum of 3 months until return of normal daily activities, and 4-6 months until sports should be resumed.

While most people heal completely from a patellar tendon surgery, there can be long-term weakness even with a successful repair.

That's what I thought. A very tough recovery process and nothing is guaranteed.
