can not believe people are advocating using 2nds on guys with known medical issues
jaylon smith has 'foot drop'....he can't raise his foot because the nerve is damaged...i have this, it never came back completely and i trip when i walk if i don't think about walking
the idea that he's just going to recover soon and play at an elite level is ludicrous, he'll be lucky if it gets back to 90% of normal human function

A checkup by NFL teams last weekend in Indianapolis showed Smith remains unable to raise his left foot or swing it out to the side because of an issue with his peroneal nerve. But the "foot-drop" isn't a surprise at this stage, said his surgeon, Dr. Dan Cooper, who is “optimistic that his knee itself will be stable and a good knee and he’ll get all his strength back. And I also think he has a very good chance of getting his nerve recovery back.”

there's a reason the surgeon mentions the nerve separately, and last...
