YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 Great news but hope he doesn’t try to rush back to playing football. He’s young enough that he can take a year or even two away from the game and make sure he’s physically and mentally ready to return. but, just now getting feeling back in his legs after a month is kind of disconcerting. I hope and pray he keeps making progress.

John from Riverside Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 If I was a family member I would not let this guy play football again. Put that college education to work son.....you have done more then most dream. 1

If it motivates him to think he can play again, Godspeed but assuming he does recover to the point where it's feasible, I hope saner heads prevail. 2

If he wants to play again then let him. It's not my call. He's a big boy and can make stupid decisions all by himself if he chooses. "Stupid is a s stupid does" if he gets hurt again so be it, i've got no skin in the game.
Tcali Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) i've been thru this myself. ZERO chance he goes back to sports. Your body doesnt function the same way again. I think its more a matter of him not having the ability to play more than it is a matter of danger. A fused vertebra is actually very strong and the joint is safe. The problem is the body doesnt function as a whole the way it used to because of this. Zero chance he plays again at his position. Manning got away with it for a few yrs because he is a QB that didnt take a big beating.. and his arm strength loss was overcome by his savvy and ability to get rid of the ball quickly. PS--he sounds like a great kid with a great attitude Edited January 11, 2018 by Tcali
Manther Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Things continue to go well! That's is great, pulling so hard for him!
Fadingpain Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Great to hear this news, but make no mistake, his playing days are over. Edited January 12, 2018 by Fadingpain

The Mental scars will damage more than the physical ones.
