Why is Amendola on the practice field ?

[abdul7]

Greetings to all and i don't know if this has been discussed before but i havnt stopped scratching my head over this last 3 days !! So can someone please help me on this ?
Is there a medical expert amongst my dear friends here ? With a groin injury shouldn't he be resting it instead of stretching and being out there ?
Maybe its not too serious as we all think,,but boy am i just confused on this !
Many thanks in advance. Abdul

Seconded. ##

A memo to the coaching staff is in order, then...

if he really dose have sports hernia its not going to heal without surgery yes he will feel better in a few weeks like they say but once he stats running routes again in a game it will start hurting again and he will sit a few more week and so on

 

[PlainOldEd]

If I were to guess I would have to say it is because that is what Bill feels is best for the team......

I know, I'm going out on a limb here.

If its a sports hernia it doesn't matter if he rests or not, it doesn't fix itself, if its a pulled groin you're better off keep moving otherwise other problems develop so its best to stay active.

Practicing?

Just putting it out there.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I have no idea. If he has that torn muscle. He should not be out there. Very weird...

Amendola being on the practice field means it isn't a sports hernia and it is a groin injury. If it is a groin injury you have to wait for the tissue around the groin area to replace itself but you also need to keep the muscle and tissue around the area strong.

Doctors know best. If stretching and rehabbing is required and it is required to be active and do stuff for strengthening then he is doing that. Iam sure its not being done just because bill asked him run around on 1 leg.

That would explain why I got no groin injuries after I got Cinemax in high school.

 

[Mack Herron]

He is not bedridden, so he has to be someplace. Reports were that he was hobbling around at the start of practice. Don't think anyone saw him run or stay out there for serious work (reporters are not allowed to watch the actual practice). Maybe a little light work to stay loose, maybe keeping hope alive until the last moment about the possibility of playing. Doubt it would have much impact one way or the other.

Come on. We all know the Patriots organization, coaches and medical staff is far less qualified to determine how to treat an injury they have diagnosed that message board posters are to determine to treat an injury they read something about what it could be. Jeez keep up. If you really want to post here, you have to draw conclusions from a small portion of the facts and then act like you are are the authority on the decision.

Thankyou so much for all your thoughts and my guess and only my hopeful opinion is yes , he has to stretch gently and probably for only a short time. The media confuse me when they write that he is out there with Gronk without saying how much he does but that he moves ' gingerly ' ! If it was serious i think he would do these " stretching" behind closed doors..ie a gym and rehab again inside. I pray it is a good sign he is out there and hope he can be ready for the Jets game in NY. The more i watched his game v Bills , the more excited i am if he is healthy for the Post Season play offs. GO PATS.

To cure a groin pull, a site on the internet has these stretches you're supposed to do. If I've got this right, Danny Amendola should not be on the field, but rather, he should be looking for a young woman who will let him pry her legs apart as far as they will go!

This is not always the case...as i found out personally the hard way. Doctors don't always know best.

Most of the time they do. But there are cases where they don't

 

[Joker]

so...you didn't like my diagnosis?

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

My guess is he really wants to just be involved , even on a limited basis. And it doesn't hurt to keep your opponent guessing. :confused2:

Umm, thanks, but I'll take my chances with the gal/guy with the MD after the name...
