Henson's Injury

Why didn't we put him on IR?

Probably they didn't see enough through the whole off season and preseason to warrant paying his full salary

As soon as I hear surgery I start thinking recovery times, and what kind of surgery it was. If it was a sprain I doubt it would require surgery which leads me to believe it might've been a tear. If it was an MCL or PCL, maybe he could come back this season? If it was ACL he's done for the year.

I doubt he would have had surgery so soon if it was a tear. Surgery isn't imperative after such an injury, and usually requires swelling to subside before hand, as well.

My wife tore her ACL the first part of June and actually had to do some physical therapy before the surgery to help prepare her knee for surgery (range of motion). She had her surgery 6 weeks after the injury, and her knee was actually in pretty good shape (minus the shredded ACL) going into surgery.

CPayne.. the pros usually have it done right away. Sports players are in top form and have top care, these guys get it done quick. I remember Brady having his done very quickly, and the same with Welker. As in quick within a matter of days if not hours.

Dude should get an internship at McDonalds while he is rehabbing.

So he can hang out with the commoners that he has such respect for.

hahaha, now I hope he signs with the Cowgirls and Sellers runs over his ass a'la Brandon Jacobs}}}}}}}Landry style.......

Still the swelling has to go down before they can do anything is the point, and sometimes that can take days depending on the severity of the tear.

For a couple of quarters against the Cards, the dude was in the zone -- he looked like Ray Lewis out there. It's a bit curious to see him discarded, but without the injury I guess it remains to be seen whether he would have made the roster. As CRR said, there likely wasn't enough on a sustained level to warrant leaving him a spot.

Right, world class athletes aren't immune to swelling.

This is a quote from when Carlos Rogers tore his ACL three years ago...
"He will undergo surgery when the swelling subsides in a few weeks and Gibbs will consider signing..."

Tom Brady tore his ACL 9/7 and had surgery 10/6. Wes Welker tore his 1/3 and had surgery 2/2.

Ok.. I was wrong.. lol... may memory fails me at times.

I am not even going to speculate any more. We should wait till the injury and surgery are at least announced.

Maybe it was an MCL tear or something. I don't know, all any of us know is he was cut.
