DCbillsfan Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm waiting a day or so to hear more clarifying word on Ragland. These things happen all of the time. Some are serious and some not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY315 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I personally watched Ragland walk WITHOUT help, WITHOUT a limp from the grass field 150 yards to the building the training room is in. This ain't no big deal. Chicken Little is on TwoBillsDrive. I'm taking this as the gospel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 For whatever it's worth, Jordy Nelson walked right off the field without a limp after tearing his ACL last year. Not saying it is serious but I'm still a little worried until I hear otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it is serious but I'm still a little worried until I hear otherwise. ACL tears are usually like that. You usually can walk on them for a bit until they get worse. Â Rex said that Ragland is ok and hasn't torn a ligament, so he should be fine. Probably at worst banged it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I am literally in prayer mode right now  My son....a linebacker....got robbed of a scholarship because of a ACL tear  Still sent to play semi pro later on....but still......those were dark days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it is serious but I'm still a little worried until I hear otherwise. He ran and had a big limp. Brady walked off without much of a limp I believe. ACL tears are usually like that. You usually can walk on them for a bit until they get worse. Â Rex said that Ragland is ok and hasn't torn a ligament, so he should be fine. Probably at worst banged it up a bit. ACL's stabilize. going straight would hurt, but easily done if the rest of the knee is stable. As soon as you move laterally you go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it is serious but I'm still a little worried until I hear otherwise. Â Yep, I remember several instances where a player has torn their ACL but walked off on their own. Hoyer comes to mind from that time Kiko landed on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) A 3-to-4 week injury would not be the end of the world...that's what a minor meniscus tear would involve. It's interesting that Rex specifically mentioned they don't believe it is ligament damage, and as it was non-contact we can assume (I think) there was no fracture. That leaves the meniscus and tendons (and of course the spleen). Â 37 days until the opener...5 weeks. He would need to be practicing for at least a week before the game to play, I'd imagine. Â Jumping to lots of conclusions here, but trying to remain optimistic. Edited August 5, 2016 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
