H2o Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/eagles/323749611.html Kiko Alonso's tendinitis is in his left knee, which is the same knee that was surgically repaired last year for a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The inside linebacker said tendinitis is common after that type of injury and he's making progress. Alonso has not played in the preseason. He said he expects to play on Thursday against the New York Jets. Alonso said the same before last week's game against Green Bay, which he missed when his knee bothered him in pregame warm-ups. The Legend is beginning to fade since he can't even heal himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I wouldn't be too worried. If it isn't healed by the opener, he will just gnaw off his ACL entirely, and then go out and make 20 tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Injuries suck.. The season is relatively short, and I hate seeing good players out. All of the ACL injuries during the preseason throughout the league have been terrible. Only wish Kiko the best and good health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 More like Kneeko Alonso amirite? Lame. It is, however, funny to me that people are ripping on Kiko about his knee even though he is expected to play in the 4th preseason game, but are geeked about Shady even though he might miss the opener with his injury.

Bills Fan in Beantown Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Tendinitis can be tough. It may be something that they give him a shot for and it goes away for a week or it may bother him all season. Either way, just don't want him to make 20 tackles against us, but otherwise wish him the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorom Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I really hope he gets better. But until then, terrible trade! Yeah I fully agree...Philly really screwed up with this one Edited September 2, 2015 by Snorom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah I fully agree...Philly really screwed up with this one its not a bad trade for Eagles either way IMO unless their run game is worse this year or Murray and Mathews get hurt. Both are injury prone, McCoy never was. It seemed like Chip wanted to move on from McCoy anyway, and was happy to get Kiko in the trade. It will suck for their D if he's hurt or less effective due to the tendonitis, but he got the RB he wanted. Well actually he wanted frank gore but he ended up liking what he got.

Malazan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I don't see why the status of his knee matter unless we're going to have a larger debate on "Fate" and whether he destined to have tweaked his knee no matter what team he played for..

MDH Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I don't see why the status of his knee matter unless we're going to have a larger debate on "Fate" and whether he destined to have tweaked his knee no matter what team he played for.. Because he had two knee surgeries prior to the trade going down. Without injured knees it's very questionable whether the Bills make that trade.

I liked Kiko just like everyone else and wish him no ill will in any way, but every time I see these stories it leads me to think that we really do have the best medical staff in the business and there is a reason we let some go that the rest of us believe should stay.

DJasper Probincrux III Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 this is the same coach who decided it was a good idea to run the read option with Sam Bradford and then got butthurt when somebody hit the QB low, in a completely legal way?

Dragonborn10 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I wouldn't be too worried. If it isn't healed by the opener, he will just gnaw off his ACL entirely, and then go out and make 20 tackles. Four yards down-field after taking the wrong angle to the runner...and after making some ridiculouosly athletic INT or forced fumble. Did not like him at MLB. Would have loved to see a healthy Kiko playing the Clay Mathews role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Isn't it 2 ACL tears prior to the trade and now tendinitis in the same knee compared to a strained hamstring? I think the difference is pretty clear. I wasn't saying that there isn't a difference there, just that everything's not completely peachy physically with McCoy. He's no more likely to start the season than Kiko, probably less. Oh, and while we're talking differences, there's a huge discrepancy in pay too. McCoy missing time is a lot more costly in that respect. Eagles will be terrible this year. There I said it. Chipper does seem to be driving that bus off of a cliff.

I imagine one of these two injuries comes with a lot more long term concern, but if just looking at week 1- it's possible either or both could be out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
