SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Vic Carucci Verified account @viccarucci 3m3 minutes ago Can confirm #Bills QB Josh Allen has an elbow sprain, as reported by @john_wawrow & @MikeGarafolo. League source says Allen is "week to week," as Sean McDermott said Monday. Source also says Allen's playing status for Sunday will become clear as the week goes on. 1 reply 5 retweets 9 likes

Sadly, that’s correct. That’s how bad the Bills are and have been. They’re awful. 23 minutes ago, Wyo_Bills Fan said: How do you sit someone "In the Bench?" Im sure you’ll figure it out.

Sprains mean different things depending on the grade. If there is an injury to the UCL it is often classified as a sprain. There are three grades of sprain: grade 1, 2 and 3. A grade 1 sprain means that the ligament is stretched but no tear is felt. A grade 2 sprain indicates the ligament is stretched and a partial tear could be present. A grade 3 sprain indicates there is a complete tear of the ligament. https://www.beaconortho.com/blog/ucl-injuries-elbow/

dave mcbride Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Also: Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow is a sprain (tear) of one of the ligaments on the inner side of the elbow. ... Prognosis The UCL usually does not heal sufficiently on its own with non-operative treatment. To return to throwing, surgery is often necessary. http://www.csosortho.com/ulnar-collateral-ligament-sprain.html We just don't know what the prognosis is, and anyone claiming they do is full of it. The team may want him to play and the agent may want him to get the surgery. That's another factor.

Still, we don't know the extent of the tear if there is one. This one came in from a trainer early this year: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5825334/ ^it provides more context to the study I linked above, specifically: "The high prevalence of trauma-related UCL injury is also supported by a small series from Kenter and colleagues [27]. Nine of the ten UCL injuries in Dodson’s series [28] were managed non-operatively, including three athletes who had complete tears. Not surprisingly, athletes with a higher grade injury required a longer time to return to competition. Quarterbacks with a grade I–II injury returned around 7 days, whereas grade III injuries has a mean of 67 days to return to play [28]. There is a tremendous paucity of data on UCL reconstruction in the professional quarterback, with most case series consisting of only one–two athletes [28, 31, 32]." It makes sense that they'd call him week-to-week, since based on the above it could be anywhere from zero to 10 weeks depending upon severity. Edited October 16, 2018 by thebandit27 2 1

That's pretty strange that a complete tear of a ligament would still be termed a "sprain." I would assume that Josh has a 1 or some type of "partial tear" would likely be included in these reports. Just an assumption though. 17 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: Also: Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow is a sprain (tear) of one of the ligaments on the inner side of the elbow. ...

The team may want him to play and the agent may want him to get the surgery. That's another factor. Hard to imagine at this stage of his career, with this team in this situation, that they would want him to play before they were positive from the doctors that they were not risking further or long term injury. I totally believe teams force players to play when they are not ready for their own purposes, but this one seems highly, highly unlikely. 1
