Quan goes Down...

[Scott MS]

I have had my knee lock up and it hurts like Hell. Don't know what caused it.

What exactly is a "knee lock up" from a medical perspective?

 

[HIX]

Sounds like torn meniscus to me without knowing all the details. Locking of the knee is a classic symptom of that.

What exactly is a "knee lock up" from a medical perspective?

Cartilage problems may be recognized by pain, clicking, or locking of your knee. But a loud "pop" is usually the ACL. Meniscal tears may be caused by a sudden twisting, or by repeated deep squats. When you extend your knee, there is a slight lateral rotation of your tibia and femur. This is termed the "home screw mechanism." Some meniscus tears cause the knee to lock up because the torn meniscus gets caught in rotation. There is a 4 to 1 ratio of women to men who injure their ACL in college basketball.

If it is a meniscus tear then that would be great news...I had my Meniscus repaired..it's a bout a 3-4 week recovery..but from what Shane described...I think it's an acl or mcl...

Not news one wants to wake up in the morning to.

Let's just hope Quan is OK, because if not, this will be an incredibly long season.

Quan is eating in the mess hall and has a limp and he is not wearing a knee brace by Jurecki

 

[PAQ77]

Wow, I hope it's just a minor, minor problem... If it was a big deal, I can't imagine him eating right now. Especially in the hall.


Anyone know if I can get 1060 online to listen to? Or 910?

I hope this a good sign. If they thought he had ligament or cart. damage, wouldn't they require that he wear a brace until the MRI???

Sorry bro but 1060 or 910 doesn't stream anymore.

Man I hope this means he's going to be OK. I would love to have to go back in and re-rank my fantasy draft players, I pulled Quan this morning after the reports.

This team needs Quan.

 

[PAQ77]

Sorry bro but 1060 or 910 doesn't stream anymore.

Bummer... Guess I'll have to hijack someones radio here in the office.

Thanks!

Loyalty is a curse when you are a Cardinals fan like me for 25 years

This is not a good sign with Boldin and Shipp...

If I were Dennis Green, I would sit every starter for our 1st preseason game in Minnesota...

Anyone remeber August 18, 2000 in Minnesota when we lost Coby Rhinehart and Rob Moore because of torn knee ligaments, and cornerback J.J. McCleskey to a severly broken ankle for the entire year--not to mention 4 other injuries to other players during that game?

There is no reason for us to be playing a preseason game on the turf, let alone practice on it (see Shipp).

Oh, and by the way, when your star player has a swollen knee--its probably a good idea to sit him out for a few days.

Way to go Cardinals training staff!!!!!

We all know that a couple preseason practices are much more important than the regular season :-(

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]FLAGSTAFF -- Arizona wide receiver Anquan Boldin, the 2003 NFL offensive rookie of the year and the Cardinals only Pro Bowl player, injured his right knee Tuesday morning while loosening up for practice and was carted from the field.

Boldin experienced soreness in the same knee Monday and sat out a morning practice but participated in an afternoon walkthrough. His tests results weren't immediately available.

"His knee locked up on him, and so we're running some extensive tests," coach Dennis Green said after the first practice. "It's not locked up now."

Green said the injury was freakish.

"He wasn't running or anything," the coach said. "He was just actually not even hardly jogging, so I'm sure that something's going on inside, but we won't know until all the tests are done. They're running a different type of tests, since it is unusual."

Last season, Boldin set an NFL rookie record with 101 receptions, had the most yards receiving (1,377) by a rookie since Houston's Bill Groman in 1960 and established a franchise rookie record with eight scoring grabs.

"When you lose a guy like 'Q,' lose a Pro Bowl player, you lose a big piece of the puzzle," running back Emmitt Smith said. "We don't know what the situation is. I don't know if we lost him and how long we lost him for. It could be a matter of days."

Boldin had reconstructive surgery on his left knee his junior season at Florida State. The injury reduced his draft value and allowed the Cardinals to pick him in the second round 37 places behind first-round selection Bryant Johnson of Penn State, another wide receiver and the 17th player taken last year.

Johnson, who had 35 catches as a rookie, got a stress fracture in his right foot during summer workouts, has been wearing a protective boot and is about three weeks away from going full speed.

Until Boldin and Johnson take the field, the featured wideout will be Bryan Gilmore, a backup who impressed Green in minicamps.

"I wanted to contribute with him," Gilmore said about Boldin. "I'm going to contribute regardless, but I'd much rather have him and BJ and Fitz (rookie Larry Fitzgerald) on my side."

Last weekend, the Cardinals lost running back Marcel Shipp with a dislocated ankle and broken leg, potentially a season-ending injury.

Green said Saturday it would take Shipp two to three months to recover from surgery to insert pins to support his fractured left fibula. The coach wanted to wait and see how Shipp progresses before deciding whether to place him on injured reserve, a designation which would end the fourth-year ball carrier's season[/font]
