Heitz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Brian Murphy @murphPPress Bad scene. Bridgewater down in pocket grabbing left knee. Players freaked out, swearing and praying. Immobilized. Practice halted #Vikings Ouch, sucks for Minny - the first person to invent the bionic knee is going to be a winner with the NFLPA...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Can't they make everyone wear knee braces? I don't understand it - there has to be a way to prevent 20 players from blowing out their knees every August, it's a multi-billion dollar business... I think it's called "natural grass" @murphPPress Ambulance has pulled up at Winter Park #Vikings Ambulance? They must think it's more than an ACL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Sounds like a broken leg - Buckeyes had a very similar sounding injury to a WR last year where the bone was exposed.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Some of the recent research that I've read about ACL injuries is quite interesting: that it's a general body-misfiring issue that produces too much force on a non-load-bearing tissue that causes the injury. Here's some of the stuff that a small high school has implemented, and they're seeing incredible reduction in non-contact injuries: https://www.freelapusa.com/3-reasons-why-activation-is-a-game-changer/ This is very interesting. I guess my question is, if it's so effective and such an advantage, why isn't it catching on? Headed to an MRI facility? No, if they called an ambulance, they're worried about something time-critical. Something involving blood circulation or nerves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a broken leg - Buckeyes had a very similar sounding injury to a WR last year where the bone was exposed. Same reaction, halted practice, players screaming, ambulance, paramedic, etc. Probably would be good if it were a broken leg - even a compound fracture.

It takes a while to gain acceptance in the athletic world, but I can assure you that it is catching on--Seattle has been using a version of the program for 2 years now. Also, there's a clinic in Pittsford that does this type of work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm thinking there was a fear of a neuro/vascular type of injury resulting from a catastrophic break or dislocation. That's likely the only reason an ambulance would have showed up and rushed him away like that. It was probably a Joe Theismann type break. Zoiks!

Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Compound fracture from non-contact? Very weird. Pathological fracture?

Doc Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 We don't know just yet what the facts are. But I hope not this too. Must be something more than the usual ACL if they sent him to a trauma center, so compound fracture sounds plausible. Could look non non-contact but someone could have stepped on him. Ragland reports were non-contact also, but he stepped on a teammates foot. True. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
