Im hoping Fitz and Dockett will be good to go for Week 1 and Redmond is hopefully back after the bye week. Lets be OpTIMistic!

No details on any of the injuries -- probably will find out next day or two.

Last I heard Redmong had a dislocated shoulder, and Dockett a messed up Rib.

Denny hasn't been honest on that part. Every injury so far has been nothing.

dislocated shoulder should heal in no time

You evidently never had one.

A broken shoulder heals quicker than a dislocated.

I played softball with a guy who as a high school QB had the dislocation of his shoulder. It was always dislocating again. Painful stuff.

 

[Dr. Jones]

It's called Sublexing when it continues to dislocate.... I have that same problem. It ruined my basketball career. He should be out a few weeks depending on how much of his stretching was caused in the muscles that surround the Shoulder. Lots of stretching = Sublexation for a long time.

Dislocations...about 100 times in my life

Starting in high school (I was a way-undersized safety) I'd dislocate one shoulder or the other on an especialy hard hit. Sometimes I'd roll it back in, sometimes I'd have to go to the sideline and let the tension ease off before anyone could get it back in. It carried over to basketball, and eventually it would dislocate just lying in bed with my arms raised above my head (once the muscles relaxed it would pop-out). After 3 years of that I got putti-platt surgery (cut and strech the pectoral muscle over the shoulder) and have seriously limited my aggressive play in every sport. The range of motion is gone, arthritis is there, and I lost a tone of strength. It's serious......or at least it was for me.

oh i was under the impression u could just slip it back in

 

[JeffGollin]

Mixed reviews on Redmond's injury - the radio guys said it would mean he's miss a lot of games. The AZR said that disclocations are often "not that serious."

I agree with the one post that observed that you cannot accept Dennis' initial reaction to injuries as gospel.

I'm more concerned with Fitz's knee.

We also don't have prognosis on Dockett's ribs and Griffith's groin.

 

[Stout]

They said Redmond's out 4 weeks. Could be worse, but it still stings.

You can pop it back in to place (I did, put my hand against a wall and leaned on it) but that doesn't mean it's fixed. I've had my shoulder pop out and back in while swimming at the beach since then. It also hurts like crazy for a while the first time it pops out.

 

[Assface]

When is Step expected back? I forget how long his injury is supposed to keep him out.

Don't know really. There was report let out that he could be out for a month at the minimum.

Dennis Green is keeping tight lipped as it comes to injury until he has to let information out (i.e. the Thursday before game 1)

 

[Evil Ash]

Depends on muscle and nerve damage. For minor dislocations the shoulder can be popped right in and he would probably just miss a week's worth of practice. For more severe injuries he could be out for as much as 12 weeks.

It just all depends and we have to wait for the MRI results to know anything for sure

Strained Knee?

does anyone know how long a strained knee would take to heal?
