Schefter on Lewis: No swelling yet (good) but ACL loose (bad)

[RayClay]

You would think ProFootballDoc would have a job with a NFL if he was credible.

Someone who works for the NFL - credible? You want to rethink that one?

Id take being back in 6 weeks without a doubt. No questions asked.

Well, I'd have questions about how good he'd be when coming back, but what we really care about starts 10 weeks from now if I did the arithmetic correctly.

I think I'll wait for official news before I follow some of you guys jumping off the Tobin.

Isn't Chao the guy who was disbarred from practicing medicine, and who is wrong about as many things as he's right about?

No.

Sounds like he meets all of the qualifications to be ESPN's medical expert.

 

[captain insano]

anything but IR is a win.

Every time a player leaves a game early we must prepare his obit. This board has had everyone on the team on IR at one point or another, followed by the guessing game of what free agent must be signed RIGHT NOW.

I have a family member that's a nurse. I asked her what the hell a loose ACL was. They are saying a loose ACL is typically a grade 1 or 2 strain, grade 2 being partially torn fibers. The fact that he was able to walk off means there was some sort of stability there.

Put me in the cautiously optimistic category. If we had this guy available for the playoffs, we should all be thrilled. I don't want to hear crying because he's not available for the Denver game.

10 weeks until the 1st playoff game. That should be plenty of time for anything other than a IRable thing

I thought Chao was that dude from The Hangover Movies.

 

[slash83]

As long he wasn't carted off he'll be fine.

I thought Chao was that dude from The Hangover Movies.

That guy is a real doctor, Ken Jeong.

Jeong attended Duke University for his undergraduate studies, and completed medical school at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Jeong then completed his internal medicine residency at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans while developing his stand-up comedy.[8] Jeong is a licensed physician in the state of California.[

Devastating... but at least he got his contract. I thought he sold high on himself and could have earned more. Unfortunately, in the NFL your season can end on the next snap.

Calling Dr Lewis

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

God this sucks on so many levels...

Exactly! Lol

 

[Bruins29]

Lets just hope for a sprain, put Lewis in a bottle with a sign saying "break open for divisional round only"
