Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
People seem have misconceptions about ACLs, and hence they expect people to be "disabled" temporarily. It is unfathomable to them to expect someone to even walk after an ACL tear.
Well, you can certainly WALK on an ACL. Hell, there's even a basketball player who has played with no ACL.

Depending on the severity of the tear is really what it boils down to. A good majority of the time, knee cartilage is also torn. I couldn't walk on it right away. A basketball player playing with a ACL? Not good I imagine...lol

Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
Never had mine repaired since I am not an athlete anymore and did not feel like going through the rehab. I can go to the gym, jog (not really run though) and even play a littler bit of racketball from time to time. For a professional athlete obviously it need to be repaired for them to be able to reach anything approaching there previous level of play. The sooner he does this the better in my opinion

Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
+1 on the bring back Daniels -- he's such a great presence on the team, and should still be able to contribute.

Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
You hate to see it happen. It's why so many guys hate preseason. Jenkins is a hard worker and will do everything within his power to get back on the field as soon as possible. Nothing soothes the loss however.

Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
F*ck the preseason. If you're going to tear an ACL, wouldn't you rather it happen in the regular season?
Should have reduced the preseason by 2, expanded to 18 regular season games, and started training camp earlier with an offsetting reduction in spring OTAs.

Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
The one positive about Jenkins getting hurt, is that he will have lots of time to rehab, lift weights and get stronger next year. The knock on him was 19 reps at 225LBS, let's see what he can do next year.

At least it's early enough where he'll have enough time to properly rehab it. |

Re: Redskins DE Jarvis Jenkins Has Torn ACL
One word pretty much sums up how I feel about this: F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DE went from a position of strength to a weakness. Jenkins was looking like a beast. Makes the Bowen signing even more important. Last edited by sdskinsfan2001; 08-26-2011 at 12:37 PM. |
