For example, I just had my shoulder done a little over 5 moths ago. Rotator cuff, torn labrum, supraspinatus reattached, biceps tendonesis, plus grinding of bone spurs and clean out of bursa sacs. I compete in Amateur Strongman. I'm already back to 85% of what I could push overhead, prior to the surgery, and I'll be 48 this month.
So, for a young, elite level athlete to have a slap tear addressed in his labrum in an offseason? No big deal whatsoever. The sports hernia is much more common than any casual observer might think. Quick recovery on those, as well. Youth is definitely on Hooker's side, as I expect he will be fresh and strong in camp for whichever team makes the wise choice of selecting him.
Thanks for this Sunset as i know nothing about this injury.
Still would be very happy with Hooker at 9. Dalvin Cook, Jonathan Allen, Solomon Thomas, Barnett, Cunningham, Foster etc.
Lots of good picks for us. Fournette is really the only guy people are looking at that i don't want for us.
We need a RB but one that is versatile in both the passing and running game. Hopefully one not coming off of injury either like Fournette.
