Bengals RT torn ACL out for the year

[Nextmanup]

It's amazing what a poor design the human knee is.

 

It's not evolved for upright walking on 2 legs.

Needless to say - “don’t like to see it” - but they’ll be fine. Bengals are peaking at the right time again.

Lol they almost just lost their last game

See - that’s why I drink heavily and crawl around. I knew there was a reason.

We had our share of injuries this season, I don't remember any sympathy cards....

Well, I cried like a baby when Von hurt his. It was very painful.

I don’t like to hear about any significant injury and helped my son who just went through it the last 10 months.  Objectively, it does possibly help us for next Monday.  Collins is a solid RT.  This is still outside of maybe KC our toughest opponent of the year until the playoffs.

Expected recovery is 7 months?

 

Dont tell Tre.

7 months plus 4 or 5.  Literally 0% he makes it in 7 with a man that size doing what he needs to do.  
 

and I’ve seen it take 18 months to get back to shape. In high end athletes it’s all about what stresses will be placed on it and how quickly you can rebuild the surrounding muscle etc.  and of course all of this assumes no setbacks etc.

I remember earlier in the season Collins was playing really poorly.  Had he turned it around since?

I can only speak to how it was for me..I am not and never was a pro athlete but, after the initial injury which was very painful it became just a low level dull ach.  For me it was the stability issues it felt like I was walking on clown stilts

Mine are both fine and I have to believe are way way past their warranty. Thanks for asking.

Robert Woods came back in 8 months. WR’s have nearly identical stress on the joint as a CB.

 

Peterson also was playing and cutting on his ACL knee 8 months after surgery in a historic season.

lol, great example... By the looks of his play maybe he could have used a few more months or ten...

Watched the replay of Cincinnati & NE.  #77 Adeniji played very well after Collins was hurt.  Don’t think the Bengals will lose much w Adeniji playing. 
 

And BTW, Cincinnati dominated that game. A few fluke plays like tipped ball TD on 3rd & 29 and Jamar Chase fumble  gave NE a chance late.   Bengals are going to be a tough match up for the Bills.

I wouldn't say Cincy dominated that game against the Pats when they scored 0 points the 2nd half.

Well, that seals it!  The outlier of outliers should be the norm!

I disagree... It's not made for what we do to it. 

 

Service life is only 40 years... What's life expectancy today?

I don’t think the human knee was built with professional football in mind

I’ve done it twice.   I won’t say they were painless, but there was surprisingly little pain when the tears happened.   There’s soreness and swelling after, especially if cartridge is torn.  OId man trivia, Dr. Marzo did my first surgery in the early 1990s.   Bills physician, surgeon at the time.

 

Most memorable physical impression … both times my brain believed my knee was “unraveling” because things where going in directions they shouldn’t.   Both times I felt an immediate “snap back” into place.    Think of those holiday toys where you press the bottom of a base piece and the elf, or santa, or reindeer collapses, and snaps back to upright.   That’s my ACL history.

I don’t know the answer to your question but these guys are likely doped up prior to the game and get some in-game “treatments” in the tents. 

Guys carried/limping into the tent, leave 5 min later “testing the knee” doing sprints on the sideline 😬

 

Im sure there is a cool off period after each game where the “adrenaline” wears off and they start assessing the damage they did that week.
