They are as much a part of the process to get the athlete ready to come back but the decision if he’s medically cleared or not is based on the medical doctor.
He didn’t throw a baseball at all until Dr. Andrew’s told he could resume throwing. He never threw a ball in his office.
I once got so high in college that I thought my legs were floating away. I was sitting on my bed watching a movie and kept putting blankets and pillows on top of my legs.
Yeah and that happens sometimes.
You know who Dr. James Andrew’s is? World famous surgeon.
He medically cleared our catcher to resume throwing and the very next practice….re-injured. Fraud?
Its not a team decision if someone is medically cleared to play. Medically cleared to play comes from a medical doctor. The trainers, front office and physical therapists aren’t doctors.
Physical therapists and trainers work with the athlete and the doctor will determine if he’s ready or not after. The doctor will perform medical tests and make a determination.
I just went through this Scott. I’ve know probably 20 athletes that went through this. You’re arguing something you don’t know.
What this doctor was stating was waiting 11 months. He’s 9 months now.
The doctor and/or surgeon will determine how strong the knee is after the examination.
It can also take up to one year for a disk to heal after surgery and mine healed in 4 months….it all depends on the person.
Jaylan Waddle had Tua throwing to him.
DJ Moore had Sam Darnold and Cam Newton throwing to him last year.
Denzel Mims....31 catches in the last two seasons.
Crowder on the Jets....damned good group of WR.
Crowder on the Bills....meh.
What I don't understand about the theory of letting him sit longer to make sure his knee is good....
If the ligament is healed 100%, it can't heal anymore. So if it's 100% right now, what would the purpose be to have him sit another 8 weeks?
