Darius Robinson injured

[Stout]

Oh please oh please oh please.

 

[PDXChris]

Hopefully a Strain and not a tear

All strains are technically tears, small tears to the microfibers!

There is always 1

It’s not the point of losing him will devastate the defense. What it does hurt is development, experience and evaluation.

I guess that is better than not having a calf!

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

Hmmm JG make it sounds not so serious... Lets hope its just a calf!

 

[ASUCHRIS]

This kind of phrasing has taken over in the NFL...it's a calf! He has an ankle! It's dumbing down the verbiage to an absurd level.

 

[FB94]

He seemed pissed off at the guys who reported the news during a closed portion of practice which appears against Cards policy

 

[Lomax to Green 84]

Not to be a Debbie downer, but can a calf also mean Achilles injury? I hope it’s nothing serious!!

 

[CardNots]

My concern upon initial report of cart used to take him off the field, was ACL.

I'm not sure but the last major calf injury in the NFL that I remember happened to Joe Burrow last season. If I recall he missed all of the preseason but was able to start Week 1. However I think he tweaked it again in week 2.

That stare to one side of the room looked angry.

Gotta be honest, this thread is a bit overboard for a non designated calf injury. Could just be a strain and out a couple of weeks.

Calf injuries are rarely season ending unless this is mis diagnosed and he's done an achilles or something.

It would be bad for DRob, but won't make a vast difference to the team.

I guess everyone will need to sign a NDA now!

You obviously haven't been a Cardinal fan for very long.

Also Losing Robinson would be a massive blow to this defense.

Reminds me of how former Bears coach Dave Wannstedt used to call out injuries - "He's got a head!"

Hopefully a Strain and not a tear

Strains are minor tears.

 

[Totally_Red]

Not as bad as feared is my takeaway.

Still bad, but could have been much worse.

Burrow was able to start Week 1 but was a shell of himself until week 5, I dont think it was reinjured either. I dont care how much time Drob misses as long as its not season ending.

No, but a strained calf can lead to an Achilles injury (see Double A Ron Rodgers) unless treated correctly (see Joe Burrow).

Okay maybe there is always 2 sorry @bankybruce

Depending on the the grade of the calf injury Robinson is looking at 4 weeks - 3 months:

The three grades of muscle strain are:

Grade 1: The muscle is stretched causing some small micro tears in the muscle fibres. Recovery typically takes approximately two to four weeks if you do all the right things.

Grade 2: There is partial tearing of muscle fibres. Full recovery can take approximately four to eight weeks with good rehabilitation.

Grade 3: This is the most severe calf strain with a complete tearing or rupture of muscle fibres in the lower leg. Full recovery can take three to four months and, in some instances, surgery may be needed.

Cardinals first-round rookie DL Darius Robinson to have imaging on calf injury

 

[SECTION 11]

I have an image of myself imagining imaging. And it’s two weeks. Imagine that, if you will. So they say.

Back in the forties, we called it whistling past the graveyard.
