Chiefs 2007: LJ could be out a while. Possible long term injury? - Page 2

**BigRedChief** · 11-05-2007, 06:31 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.

Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler doesn't have the hairline fracture in his left leg he feared.

An MRI on Monday was negative, but coach Mike Shanahan said he didn't know if Cutler would practice much this week or be under center Sunday at Kansas City.

"He doesn't have a stress fracture, which is a positive," Shanahan said. "The X-rays were negative, the MRI was negative. So, we'll see how sore he is. Right now he's quite sore. And we'll get a chance to see how he feels on Wednesday."

Cutler, who declined to comment Monday, took a helmet to his lower leg, which was badly bruised, in the first half of the Broncos' 44-7 loss at Detroit on Sunday. He was carted off the field and although immediate X-rays were negative, Cutler said he feared his leg was broken.

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

The 2 people I knew that had PF took FOREVER to heal completely. Both over a year. It's incredibly difficult to keep from re-aggravating it.

I've read about people taking 18 months to fully heal. Obviously, it's a case by case basis, but everything I've read says 4-6 weeks minimum.

Cutler's MRI shows leg wasn't broken, just badly bruised
Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler doesn't have the hairline fracture in his left leg he feared.

An MRI exam Monday was negative, but coach Mike Shanahan said he didn't know if Cutler would practice much this week or be under center Sunday at Kansas City.

"He doesn't have a stress fracture, which is a positive," Shanahan said. "The X-rays were negative, the MRI was negative. So, we'll see how sore he is. Right now he's quite sore. And we'll get a chance to see how he feels on Wednesday."

That is not what was stated on the radio at all. Done for the year. They are about as reliable as Jwit if they change now.

I got a feeling they have never changed their story...You are just caught in a blatant lie. Hell of an effort. Nice touch saying you heard it on the radio so their is no link.

TEX · 11-05-2007, 06:53 PM

Cutler will be fine come Sunday. We'll be the ones's shorthanded when we play Sunday.

Can Priest recapture the magic?

I see Kolby Smith gettting a healthy dose of carries as well.

I listened to sports radio all day, petro and the others did not say much about it, but ESPN came on like they were breaking the story.

i love how some are talking like THIS will keep us out of the playoffs. if what i'm reading about this PF injury on here is true, i hope LJ spends a few months on his couch in his NY condo. he can have Jay-Z over and they can lay down some tracks. as long as he rests that foot, i don't care what he does or where he goes. there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO BRING HIM BACK this season. we'll lose enough that we'll be out of the race, so that maybe, just maybe, croyle could get some experience. if we rush him back, it could linger into NEXT season, which according to some around here, is what we're really playing for anyways.

Thats Jack Harry's show right? Okay that means LJ will play Sunday.

On the bright side, LJ will have more time to work on his rap career.
