nucci Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Very happy he isn't in worse shape, but very concerned still. Hamstring and Groins can linger for an entire season. You watch a player and all year and they don't produce the same, they say they feel good. The season ends and then they say "ya, the Hamstring was bothering me all season". Happens so much. If he's even at a 5%-10% risk of re-injury for the opener I wouldn't play him. I wouldn't consider playing him until he has zero doubt he is 100% with no needles. I don't care if it takes 3-4 weeks into the season. We need him at 100% and it's a very long season. Never happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I had a hamstring pull a year ago, pretty severe one that wasn't torn but was extremely painful. Took me a good month to feel back to normal but that was without any docs or trainers so obviously McCoy has that advantage. His timetable to me definitely seems like it is within normal parameters for even a severe strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Given McCoy is getting an MRI today, I don't understand how anyone, including Schefter, has anything "informed" to say about the severity and duration until the scans are reviewed. Â His report was post-MRI (according to sources). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 @adamschefter: Contrary to previous published reports, no specific deity has claimed responsibility for Shady's expected rapid return. Also, at least one deity that I conferred with admits to being an ananthropist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled both of mine at one point. 2-3 week each to heal most of the way and adding compression sleeves made playing sports tolerable... He might be a little less explosive to start but he'll be fine as long as he RICE's and gets massages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Â His report was post-MRI (according to sources). Hmm... That's good news, if so. Â Everything I read yesterday said he was getting an MRI today. Then I saw Schefter's tweet from 5:45 am this morning. It looked like an educated guess based on the "we don't think it's off the bone" comment after practice, rather than anything based on the results.

TedWilliamsFrozenHead Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 @AdamSchefter: Despite injuring hamstring Tuesday, Bills' RB Lesean McCoy is expected to return for regular-season opener vs. Colts, per league source. Sounds like a case of 'Byrd's foot' to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 you said RICE!!!! That means... Rest Ice Compression Elevation  Often the first treatment for any strain or pull, and often the continuing treatment after PT sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
