Torn meniscus for AD

Crazy that Zimmer and others keep talking like he still might be playing this week. Most that is an out for the season kind of injury.

I think Zimmer is just messing with Carolina to make sure they game plan for AD and not just Mckinnon/Asiata. There is no way AD plays with a torn meniscus.

I would definitely like to know how torn it is. Must not be bad if they are not talking surgery at the moment. And most people we are talking at least 4-6 weeks of healing to make sure no further injury actually happens. AD isn't like most people though so maybe his body heals faster but I would probably at least give him 2 weeks without any contact.

if they can dope him up, he can play, can't do more damage to it.

As long as the cartilage isn't moving around in there, it's all about pain management. If the cartilage is moving, it could lock his knee up and really fuck with him.

My son tore his meniscus second game his senior year in high school and played in the 3rd game. After a state run (12 additional games) he had the meniscus removed in January and played his varsity baseball season in March. People are different, but it's possible

the Vikes O line sucked so bad last night he best take a few weeks or whatever and heal up right

Precisely. Biggest things are pain management and whether or not the cartilage moves around and gets into the knee joint. If the cartilage is moving, it restricts range of motion in the leg.

I hope he does sit out this week. Carolina is very good at home, and they have a stout defense. I don't see the Vikes winning the game anyway. Get AD rested up for the primetime Monday night home game vs the Giants on 10/3 and what appears to be a strong defense matchup with the Texans on 10/9.

Meniscus isn't a very tough one to overcome. Guys can be ready to play rather quickly.

I'd wait if I were AP though.

Depends on whether it is a lateral tear or not too. If not then everything posted above are possible. If it is lateral then we are talking months instead of weeks because that requires surgery and has risk of tear all the way through. The whole thing would have to be removed if that happened.

Can't be a full tear the way Zimmer was talking...mostly likely out 3 weeks to a month at least.

True. Just depends like most injuries on the severity of it. Also when I posted earlier for some reason I had in my head MCL not Meniscus.

 

[Bolts]

Better news for him than for Danny Woodhead, who joined Keenan Allen in the torn ACL club 2 weeks in. Injuries really are a bitch.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

The Vikings just became more dangerous

 

[packerzrule]

that blows

hope he heals soon

Wait - I'm confused. When I have a really bad cold and I sneeze and this nasty shit comes out all slimey and greenish yellow - isn't that Meniscus?
