Update: Dez Recovering Faster Than Expected

[sureletsrace]

Reminds me of My Cousin Vinny... so your grits boil faster than grits on everyone's stove in the grit-eating world? Are these "magic grits"?

Dez's bones do not fuse and heal any faster than other human being's, no matter how finely tuned an athlete he is. Just because he's walking does not mean his bones are healing faster. It just means he tolerates pain better. Tamp down the enthusiasm, folks.

I don't mean to sound rude, but if you don't think that some people can heal faster than others, you're extremely misinformed.

I think fisher has an account here. Lol.

It always makes you wonder which members of the media do.

 

[Aven8]

My only question was he dehydrated walking through the locker room??

No, I dont think that some people's bones can heal significantly faster than other people's bones. Now, I agree with you about other muscle or internal type injuries. But bones is bones. Every doctor that posted about this injury said that there is a minimum amount of time it takes (6 weeks or so) for a bone to heal with enough strength.

Dez's muscles produce greater force than mine do.

Where can I get some of Dez's magic muscles?

The fact of the matter is...every body heals differently...in some cases drastically differently.

There are many many examples all over the world around us to corroborate this fact.

My Cousin Vinny....great movie.

Well the timeframes given were anywhere from 6-12 weeks, which is quite a large variance. Anyways, it's trivial. Dez will be back when he is healthy enough to play. Simple as that.

 

[Corso]

Not upset.

Friggin media leading people around by their noses...

There are times when I do miss the days of straight journalism and you had to wait until the morning paper to read it.
But these days are generally more fun.

Agreed. And I do not dispute that he can be back in 6 weeks. But the title of this thread "Dez healing faster than expected" is misleading. Just because he is walking today without a boot, means nothing about the 6 week minimum timeframe for a broken bone to heal.

Well, that would be my bad. It was a spur of the moment title decision on my part. Poor wording I guess. Everything in the article seems to point to the idea that technically he "shouldn't" be able to walk around unassisted, and he is.

Mods can feel free to edit the title if it is misleading.

In no way was I trying to sensationalize the post.

Quoting a paper from the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health titled "The genetic profile of bone repair" by Rozalia Dimitriou and Peter V. Giannoudis that was published in 2013...

"bone regeneration remains to a great extent an unknown cascade of biological events..."

...I'd say we don't know everything we think we do.

Fabricated stories and/or reporting just for the sake of reporting "something" is stupid.

I remember one time, I believe it was espn. They said, coming up we will give you the update or status of something.. Can't remember what it was... But when they came back they said....

The update is... THERE IS NO UPDATE... nothing had changed

I lmao'd

Yes. Lol

You can heal faster over weeks time. Maybe a week earlier or two or what have you... But this just happened.


Also, walking on it is probably not smart.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Dez told people essentially not to listen to the PFT and Crapreport type mediots, unless there is a setback, Dez will be back way sooner than these reports.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Damn. Welp- so much for all those positives the team was going to enjoy without him...

I feel sorry for Weeden. He might have Dez back after all.

 

[Corso]

It's cool. Weeden's going to be fine.
I got a specialist on the case:

 

[chagus]

Can he borrow TO's hyperbaric chamber?

That's what I was thinking!!! Haaaaaa!!!

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Dez has a little Witten genes in him.

 

[30yrheel]

Barefoot? Calm down Dez.

 

[texbumthelife]

Dez is a physical freak of nature. No doubt he's back sooner than expected.

Sooner than the pessimistic 12 weeks, certainly not sooner than the original optimistic 4 weeks.
