Twitter: Tyron Smith dealing with bone spur

[Risen Star]

That means pain management and surgery after the season.

It amazes me a guy built like that is so fragile.

Then you have the tub of goo guys who never miss a snap

 

[Doomsday77]

Do you ever have any good news to report?

 

[CATCH17]

Just rest him. We all knew this would happen with him anyways. He isn’t reliable.

Just make sure he can go against the Chiefs. Heck just make sure he can go in the playoffs for all I care. We can win without him right now.

The success of this team is directly related to the OL. Rest up Tyron.

Ive always thought he gets injured because of overtraining.

We have two very winnable games coming up without Smith. Denver and Atlanta. We should be fine without him

it’s because the guys that look like they came from mount olympus work out all the time. while the goo guys are well rested.

question is with a bone spur is this something that can improve with extra rest or is it just pain management until surgery?

Not in my case.

I wonder where it's located. I just had my heel spur that was under my Achilles, which is the worst spot to have a bone spur, removed because the pain was too much. He's a lot bigger man that I am so I can understand why he wasn't in there. Every time I stepped on my left foot it felt like fire running up my leg. It's been almost a year since having it removed and it's still not right. I don't think it will go away with rest or PT because mine didn't. I'm sure he'll be getting injections from here on out until the season ends.

This is a slap in my face.

Smith just has to miss his typical 3 games of the season!

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

That’s not gonna go away FWIW.

need to prioritize tackle in the draft

I mean, it's also easily correctable in the off-season. Don't think his career will be shortened by a bone spur.

 

[John813]

Did he get drafted to go to Vietnam?


That sucks, David DeCastro is sitting out this year due to his bone spurs in his ankle

 

[fivetwos]

Seems like as good a time as any to get Mr. Left Side Natural on over there.

79 is gonna get someone hurt if they keep running him out there.

 

[DasTex]

It'd take about 6-8 weeks to recover if he got it cleaned up. Would be back for playoffs, maybe last game to knock some rust off.

Bone spurs won't heal on their own. We've seen a banged up Tyron be a liability...might need to get it handled now.

 

[HungryLion]

I suppose it depends on how and the pain is.


This is kind of a good thing. It’s better than ligament damage.

it means now they know why he has pain, and as long as he can manage the pain he can play.

 

[Doomsday101]

Bone spur likely 2 to 3 weeks if he has procedure done now.

 

[fivetwos]

Anyone know if there's any way to clean that up without him missing the rest of the season?

Playoffs start in ten weeks or so.

What's the recovery time?
