Patriots Rumor Josh Sweat reportedly requested trade?

A report indicating the Patriots are potentially in the market for this player, or have expressed or plant to express interest.

That said, a footbal player could play again after a knee replacement and rehab.
They do great knee and hip replacements these days. Shoulders, not so much

Agreed.. it's concerning because Landry had a major knee injury in Tennessee recovered and got back to playing..now he's got another knee injury.. with things like scar tissue, possible staph infection, so many things come into play.. I'm sure the team has a contingency plan for him..
 
Hmm sounds like the Packers are interested. One article speculates Green Bay would offer slot WR Jayden Reed for Sweat.

What if we offered them Pop Douglas and a 4th. Would that be a better offer?

If the bone-on-bone stories are correct (and I've seen it in multiple places), then there is no fixing it.

There is. There are 3 different fixes for it that are non-surgical. It's just a matter of whether or not they worked.
However, since Landry said surgery, the only one I know of for bone on bone is a complete replacement. And I've never heard of a player returning to the game after that.

So, only time will tell.

How do you propose to fix no ligaments non-surgically?

You are really being a freaking baby today.

You jump in and imply “bone on bone” stories are correct because “you’ve seen it many places”

I show an exhaustive search that says there are no legitimate reports and it appears to be a fan created rumor.
You respond with the fan created rumor.

Landry himself says he is getting surgery to fix his knee, but you choose to apparently think he is lying and the Reddit guy who made up a fake source knows better.

Now you cry that you had knee replacement so you should know.

How does having knee replacements give you any more ability to judge what if wrong with Landry knee?

When you were diagnosed with bone on bone would you have been able to dress for a Super Bowl?

Boy, that's a masterful job of constructing a bunch of **** I DID NOT SAY.

You really can’t play football with a knee that is bone on bone. It means you have no cartiledge and walking would be excruciatingly painful.

Meh.

You can walk, probably even play, with joints that are bone on bone. You’ll pay a price. Price will be pain now, more later, until you get surgical repair which means replacement. How bad the pain is, and how much it affects your performance, depends on individual situation. Every patient is different. Every joint is different.

I’m speaking from personal experience. I have both knees and both hips replaced. I’ve walked around on bone on bone joints. My experience was *not* “excruciatingly painful” (that was rehabbing the cadaver ACL implant years earlier). Every joint is different.

Im sorry but you cannot play in the NFL with bone on bone knees.

No if you are bone on bone you can’t really even walk. No one can okay bone on bone. The cure is knee replacement.

Not true.

Fun story.

I had an orthopedic surgeon tell me I didn’t need a hip replacement because I could still walk down his hallway. I was walking fine, although it did hurt.

A few weeks later a different surgeon told me the x-rays showed bone on bone and scheduled replacement surgery within weeks.

Having experienced bone-on-bone in both my ****ing knees that required two knee replacements, I do actually know a bit about it and how it PROGRESSES.

I never said I had anything other than what I saw on the internet. I never said it was definitive. But for some reason, this is a really important hill for you to die on, so have at it. You win.

We'll see how much and how effectively Landrey plays this year I guess.

I hope your replacements have been as successful as mine.

Advancements have been insane. Both my knee replacements have been outpatient surgery. Like dry cleaning, in by 9 out by 5. Walked out bearing partial weight on the new implants.

My surgeon retired just after I finished rehabbing my last one. He’d run out of work after replacing both knees and both hips for me, lol.

Before he retired he told me it’d be okay for me to go downhill skiing again, but to avoid snowboarding because of the torque on the knees. Haven’t had the chance to try it yet.

He had an ACL in TN.

Bone on bone is cartilage problem not ACL.

Do we even know it’s the same knee?

Fun fact. Years ago, in my 30s, I had my left knee ‘scoped for a bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus from a high school football injury many years before. Surgeon who did it had his listing in the yellow pages as “practice limited to arthroscopic surgery of the knee”. When I wrapped my car around a tree in a snowstorm and twisted my right knee apart I needed an ACL replacement so i called him. His response was “Oh, I don’t do those!” He only did cartilage, not ligaments! So for awhile I had my left knee surgeon and my right knee surgeon, as two different specialists. TL;DR: I know way more than I ever wanted to know about injuries and surgery of the knees.
