When does Arrington hit the field?

So what's the significance of a scope vs. ,let's say an ACL tear? I mean, I know an ACL could be season ending. But what I'm asking is was there any structural damage to the knee or ligaments....forgive me man, I know you're not a doctor but you seem on top of it...

Didn't Lavar re-injure his knee during the filming of the Eastern Motors commercial. "At Eastern Motors get your car today..."

As for Lavar liking the juice, there's just no way, his head is a 3rd of what Barry's is.

A scope is a non-invasive procedure normally used to clean up loose bodies on the knee, such as loose cartilage or a small meniscus tear. Typically the healing process is short, a few weeks.

Surgery to repair a torn ACL is a major procedure in which the torn ligament is repaired. Since the ACL is the main ligament in the knee the recovery period is about 6-8 months. I'm not sure which surgery LaVar had, but he did say it was more serious than the team initially reported so I'm sure they'll be treating him with kids gloves from now on. LaVar is familiar with the defense, there's no rush to get him on the field since he's pretty much a known commodity. The main focus will probably be his conditioning, but I doubt that we see him until the last preseason game.

I'm not a doctor, although I do play one on tv. :laughing2

Good stuff! Basically, this type of injury should have mimimal impact on Lavar's explosiveness and that sort of thing. thanks guys

They already rushed him back once. Look what happened. We will see Lavar when he is ready to play at 100%. Hopefully that will be sooner rather then later.
I really think he is getting close. You could see him running yesterday on Redskins.com :food-smil

I may be wrong on this one, but if memory serves me correctly, the only person that rushed LaVar back was LaVar. He insisted on taking the field when he wasn't completely healed. Don't get me wrong, I respect the hell out of players that play hurt, but he started bitching about how the FO handled his injury, when in acutality he had the final say so on when he took the field.

I think you're right. I remember him saying that HE wanted to be back.

I don't think Lavar will be out long, maybe just long enough to do another Eastern Motors commercial since Portis stole the show on the first one.

No need to rush him. Just let him be ready by Sept 11, when the games count.

I think he tore his meniscus--whatever that is. Sounds painful! This is about the schedule that I remember hearing for his recovery.

Your absolutely right. BUT don't forget how many times we have heard Gibbs and Williams preaching about how they need players that are going to play. Lavar strikes me as a guy who really wants to make the coaches happy and thrives on praise. He wanted to play, they wanted him to play.

Let's just hope that LaVar studied Gregg Williams' playbook while he was side-lined.
