Edelman Leaves Field, Apparent Foot Injury

[Silver Blue&Red]

Ha Ha . Somebody made a fool of himself. I wonder if foot taste like ice cream?

But please, by all means be careful with this guy. I think Jules should start getting the Gronk treatment when it comes to preseason games. Too much injury history, and he's too important to our offense.

Aside from actual experience breaking my foot and then playing the sport?

Life After Surgery – BC Foot and Ankle Specialists []



Over a year for movement to improve. That would explain some reports saying that he is still taking it easy with planting on that foot.

There's also what Chatham said regarding how the bones "move around" differently after surgery. There have been hosts of physicians that have commented on how important it is for skill position players, particularly wide receivers, to fully heal from foot injuries. Then, finally, the proof is in the pudding. Not even two full practices in and Edelman has a setback (albeit minor) on the surgically repaired foot. If we're speaking in pure probability, is the probability that Edelman reinjures his foot higher with rest through the preseason or is it higher with him practicing. Of course you would say it's the latter. But we shall see. If I'm right, and I think I am, the team will deactivate Edelman for the preseason at the most or until the final week after the very least to ease him into getting some reps. I highly doubt they want to play with fire again.



The thing is, speaking from experience, you can tell the doctor whatever you want from a pain standpoint. In the end, they only know as much as you give him. And he already tested the foot. The moment of truth already arrived. The result is possible torn scar tissue at the very least or another minor setback.

I understand now. Of course it is possible that Edelman lied about pain he was having so he could get back on the field, but your personal experience makes it appear likely to you that he did so. At any rate, he is back now. Maybe you are right that a few more weeks off would materially reduce reinjury risk, but I'm not aware of evidence that supports that. At some point, you have to trust that the athlete whose livelihood depends on his health and the doctors and PT staff that attend to him daily are better informed on this point than we are.

like i said - its not unlike breaking in new shoes
id like to see him practicing so that he can gradually find his comfort zone
hopefully before week 1

He's back now.

I doubt they have MRI or similar imaging at Gillette. To get hurt around 10 AM, get to Boston for imaging, get it read and into the hands of Jeff Howe by mid-afternoon seems a stretch. He is now felt to have injured his foot vs DEN, yet they did not diagnose a fracture until April. The most encouraging thing from Howe was that his symptom was not pain, but numbness. If so, that should be a good sign. But negative plain X-rays at this point alone do not mean there is not an injury.

they most certainly do have an MRI at gillette...or right next door anyway. the Brigham and Women's / Mass General Health Care Center at Patriot Place has an MRI scanner:

Diagnostic Imaging

• X-ray
• CT
• Mammography
• Ultrasound
• MRI
• Bone density testing

I stand corrected. Maybe he was imaged before the positive reports. But him coming back today convinces me there was no significant pain, as Howe reported. Otherwise they would not have him out there yet. Even MRIs miss things. All in all, very good news.

I thought there was an understanding never to post that on this site ever. Just brings back bad memories and a reminder that Pats probably have a SB that year.

Had to do what I had to do.

Sorry, I know you posted this to prove a point, but c'mon. Whether it's bad memories or superstition, this is not something anyone should ever post. Now I'm scared for Brady all over again.

I don't like watching it anymore than you guys do but Jesus stop being so sensitive. It's almost 10 years ago. Me posting the video has no effect on the past present or future.

Also, no one made you guys watch the video. You have to go to YouTube to watch it.

And I don't want to come off as insulting. You guys are good posters here

Up until yesterday's scare, I've always been comfortable and gone along with whatever the medical staff and coaches decided upon. Now, however, I find myself thinking as you do regarding Edelman. Just not worth it.
