Scandrick out for season with torn ACL

Unbelievable. These injuries are fucking depressing.

 

[Texas Jefe]

well that sucks

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

ACL is the dreaded injury ... It's just effin sad...

 

[Hank Kingsley]

well that sucks

Them new guys had better be gittin' lots'a pressure on the QB and lots'a sacks.

And Sean Lee better flash a football IQ of 150 or so on the body side of things. Need a full year outta him.

Cause this hurts.

 

[Iggloo]

Sean Lee? really?

 

[packerzrule]

WTF

You have to start questioning the off season workouts or the strength and conditioning techniques - or both

Too much weight training, not enough stretching and conditioning.

I can't understand why these guys don't wear braces on their knees. My 22 year old cti II brace weighs 1, maybe 2 pounds and there is NFW my knee will bend unnaturally when I have it on. The technology is there to protect the ligaments without slowing guys down yet even most guys who have already had an ACL reconstructed won't wear them

 

[tedman2012]

only team that can take hits like this and keep going is the pats . that is according to their fans !!!!!

it sucks these guys bust their ass then its over for a year and may never be the same player again .

With a corner especially there is a lot of twisting on the knee, maybe it is too limiting? RB's can wear them so I don't know why a CB couldn't. Wonder if we will see a day not too far away where the NFL makes knee braces part of required equipment for everyone. Then if it slows you down, at least everyone is slowed equally.

Yep. The Badgers O-line has been wearing them for years. Funny you don't see more of tht.

I'm not saying I had world class speed or anything, but I played hockey 3 nights a week for many years with my carbon titanium contraption on and I don't think it slowed me down. I still wear mine to play softball because I have no cartilage left in my knee and I have concerns about stability even with my ACL being rebuilt many years ago. After 4 surgeries I'm not inclined to take any chances.

Keep in mind that these braces are custom made to a mold of your leg so they fit real nice and at somewhere around 2K they aren't a lot of money considering the money these guys make.

Interesting thought on making them mandatory. I wonder in the NFLPA would go along with that.

I remember reading about a college team doing that, but I forgot which one.

Kudos to the Wisconsin staff for being pro-active.

that's it.

plus, Claiborne gets a chance at some redemption, they really need him to step up. Not sure he can, but we'll see.

I can't who it was but I know a couple years ago a NFL head coach made his entire OL wear knee braces all the way thru training camp.

For the skill positions (other than QB) it won't happen. Just slows them down too much. With OL speed and cutting aren't important.

At this point in the off season actually ACL tears are down from last year. So far if I remember right we have had 8 or 9 this season where last off season there were a total of 11 or 12. Obviously there are two weeks left in the off season so anything can happen but injuries have held steady in the NFL pretty much since 2000. Actually 2000 was the year with the most ACL tears during off season training.

Cowboys. Maybe others as well

Someone posted a list the other day after Nelson. Was much more than 8 or 9
