Arkansas had a rb tear his ACL in the spring game this year and be back by week 6. I'd say that's not the norm by any means.


By the time these guys get to the NFL i'd say 25 or 30 percent of them have had pretty significant injuiries.

I had a friend tell me, with these technological advances everyone speaks of (what are these 'advances' anyway? No one ever goes in depth when they mention them), that some guys come back FASTER after an ACL injury. I did some reading and didn't read anything about that, but apparently ACLs deal more with change of direction and lateral movement than straight-line speed so I suppose one could come back faster, but not have the same change of direction ability...

What was Peterson's injury when he was still in college at Oklahoma wasn't it?

I think Petersons was a shoulder. Could be wrong tho.

And the advances arent really in the surgery just in the rehab and the healing process.


They all three need to be given massive doses of HGH.

Given the fact that Charles relies on speed and shifty i'd say he's the most likely to struggle coming back.

I think a good example of someone to look at when thinking of Charles return is Welker. He seems to be doing alright.

Kyle Orton (finger) was limited in Chiefs practice Wednesday.
It's unclear whether Orton can grip a football after dislocating his right index finger on his only snap last week. Tyler Palko is expected to start again.

Good.

Decisions like having Palko on the roster is why I wouldn't mind Haley getting fired. People blame Pioli for forcing Cassel on Haley, well, what about Palko? No excuses.
