I still walk on one today. Had achilles surgery 40 years ago and injured again 5 years ago. The Dr's say it will take 3 surgeries and two years off work to fix and they don't advise doing, they now would have to extend it about 6". So I just get shoes with graphite rods along the soles outside edge to hem me up and keep my foot from rolling.
Yet was bowling and wearing regular shoes and tore my meniscus and ACL 6 months ago, probably because of my achilles and not wearing proper shoes. They only addressed my meniscus and cleaned up the ACL which is 70% torn saying at my age a knee replacement was in the future anyway. Sux getting old and put out to pasture lol.
Hope Burrow gets back to full strength quickly.
The water tastes funny when you're far from your home,
yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam. Roam the Jungle !

Dude.
I ***** feel for you, man. That is just terrible. I'm only 30 but this is the second major injury I have had and by far the worst. It has taken some spirit out of me but I really hope you are able to get to feeling better, one way or another.

Get Wentz or Bridgewater on the phone for a chance to showcase with this offense.
Doubtful he misses that much. He’ll be fine. The guy who posted the SI article isn’t a doctor, he just googled what it would take a regular person to he’ll from a grade 2 calf strain. Could be grade 1. Until a doctor verifies it there’s no point in listening to journalists.

Now you're starting to get it, lol. Read up on the history. Our first Joe Burrow tore his rotator cuff his rookie season back in the late 60s. Surgery of the day couldn't fix it, and he was toast after one stellar season. Boomer Esiason's shoulder in 88. Carson Palmer's knee in 2005. Andy Dalton's thumb in 2015. KiJana Carter, David Pollack, etc, etc. And those are just the injuries.

Terrible. But you guys have a great sense of humor about it. Burrow will be OK. It wasn’t an Achilles and grade 2 is the most common injury. Only guy I’ve seen cover it is Mark Adickes and he expects him to be back in around 4 weeks, but he’ll feel the injury for months. And he’s actually a surgeon that specializes in sports injuries (he’s the team doc for the Rockets) and not some moron sports journalist who has no medical background.

Yes, I'd definitely listen to a doc like that before one of the sensationalist moron. Hell, I'd listen to a veterinarian before one of them for that matter. LoL.

She's a douche bag. I think it was her (99% sure) that just asked ZT a question about Joes Contract and if this injury matters in negotiations or not. Like, she can't get the F'ing thoughts about someone's paycheck out of her mouth for even a 5 minute presser.

People were giving me abuse when she posted the pic of Tee and his mum after the Buffalo game.
She’s a ***** ambulance chaser a horrible journalist and a Steeler fan to boot.

She thinks that she's asking the "smart" questions, yet she's coming off like a gold digger. (Isn't their a Kanye song in there, somewhere?)
As to Joe's little setback, calf strains are no joke. I've endured two in my adult lifetime. As odd as this sounds, walking on it actually seemed to make it heal faster (for me anyway).
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
(07-27-2023, 05:21 PM)KillerGoose Wrote: Yeah, that is what I was looking for, too. I was trying to watch if he had any plantarflexion in the foot but I didn't see him move it hardly at all.
I also didn’t see the training staff stretching his calf as if it is a cramp. But, I’m not going to let that bother me now because the front office has been killing it lately and I’m going to ride that wave as long as I can.
