VanCity Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Knee braces for everyone! Seriously, why don't more players wear them. A good knee brace is not overly restrictive. After my knee injury, even after I was healed, I would wear my brace when water skiing, climbing, etc. I never felt like it hindered my mobility. Then again, I am far from a world class athelete. Many athletes won't wear knee braces because they actually can weaken the area they are built to protect. If they structurally support the effected area, the muscles, tendons and ligaments don't need to do their job so they become weaker. That, and braces are cumbersome, annoying and remind you to watch out for the possibility of re-injury, creating a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense, but on occasion, such as a slippery field, I don't think it would weaken them at all. Especially linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Rivers has a rag arm. Let's hope the wind and rain combine to help him throw up some ducks that can be picked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
