Chiefs 2007: LJ could be out a while. Possible long term injury?

**BigRedChief** · 11-05-2007, 05:31 PM

Consider this a rumor.
Again I'm not saying this is fact but someone who has told me medical "stuff" about Chiefs players in the past and it has turned out to be true told me this.

LJ has a garden variety sprained ankle but thats not worrying the Chiefs or LJ.

They think its his foot thats is the real concern and specifically worst case scenerio Plantar Fasciitis or a pulled ligment in the foot. It happened when LJ tryed to pull on his foot when it was under Hawk and stretched that muscle on the bottom of his foot and in the arch. It could take 3-4 weeks of rest or in rare cases to a year to recover. But until the swelling goes down they won't know for sure.

Again just FYI passing it along.

The PF (or a Lis Franc) crossed my mind Sunday. I almost posted it on the game thread as a semi-joke, but thought better of it.

Just our luck. We should have known this would happen as soon as Carl signed the deal. I swear, sometimes I think we are the most ****ed up team of all times.

I stated this yesterday based on my previous injury expierence and the video replay of the hit.

Better let him heal up. This team isnt going anywhere but a first round playoff exit again this year if we even make it that far....

Priest isn't coming back.

Exactly what I told my wife when she called on the drive home.

If he has even a mild plantar fasciitis injury, he'll be out the rest of the year, IMO.

Or at minimum, ineffective. Putting weight on it is hard enough, but pushing off and cutting would be excruciating.

Sit down LJ. Rest up.

Absolutely.

If in fact it is a PF injury, they tend to linger without the proper rest and treatment.

I want him ready to go at 100% next summer, not limping around because Carl wanted to make sure to win that 8th game.

Heh, lets hope he still has some gas left in the tank.

You also just posted that Cutler is done for the year.

So these don't heal like normal?

How different is this from a pulled groin? Or a pulled bicep muscle?

According to ESPN radio 6:00 pm-Cutler is done. Blame them if it is wrong.
