That they wouldn't be playing anyway and an "infection" is the official excuse. Or it could be driven by liability concerns for teams that are absurdly risk-averse. But I don't remember any doctor even mentioning the possibility of an infection to me. They certainly didn't call a week later to verify that everything was kosher lol. Not that it couldn't happen- I'm sure it could- but it's just so rare. Almost inconceivable to me having gone through it. They sew you up, put on a sterile bandage, you remove the bandage when you're washing and replace it with a new one. Lather rinse repeat and keep it clean for a few weeks until the wound is merely a scar and you're back. Of course, I'm assuming they caught it before it completely ruptured- which is a safe assumption given that he's at practice.
I think Joe riding in the cart is for the cameras, maybe for his own amusement. Behind closed doors I bet he's moving around like normal... though he may not be stretching lol
Good to know. Also Joe wouldn't of went through the procedure at this time if it wasn't the smart thing to do so he would
be ready once games actually count. He will be sore for a bit and be 100% come opening day to torch the Steelers is what I
take from what you are saying TMS.
