Keenan Robinson may be done for the year, possible torn pectoral

[Burgold]

The last I saw its still in question. Having another mri on monday.

Thanks. Found his twitter. Didn't read much there. In fact, he apparently has been going out watching football games with his family. Makes me hopeful. If he was really hurt I'm not sure he'd be out and about.

Adding to what Keenan Robinson told JK, he's not only not sure if it's partial/ full or even torn, believes he might still be able to play.

Would Aaron Curry be worth a look? He was cut by the Raiders the other day.

I was going to say Laurent Robinson b/c he has been cut by the jaquars BUT looks like he has had 4 concussions in 4 months.

Bad knees and he's more of a OLB.

[WVSkinsfan]

when did he get hurt? the last I seen of him he was torching the cowboys.

wow, Aaron curry... I remember when he was so highly touted coming out of wake forest... he was a top 3 pick by Seattle right?

they'll most likely just bring up Darryl Gamble from the PS

Believe our Training Dept. is in on the take with Pain Medicine People.

That means they would fit in perfectly down here in Florida. Plenty of "pain management centers"

More accumulated damage is usually worse for players (see running back shelf life, and running back wall with the 400 carries/season).

In physical therapy school currently, if that matters at all...

Logically speaking, that would make sense. I think it's old school thinking the other way.

Muscles, repaired ligaments, and repaired tendons don't heal like bones and come back stronger.

At most with ligaments if the one your body had was previously stretched out the replaced one will be shorter and more firm which is good, but the detrimental side effects of chronic inflammation in the joint during the recovery process somewhat negates those effects due to earlier onset chronic degeneration such as arthritis.

With proper rehab, torn muscles can most certainly come back stronger. I've seen power lifter utilize this (incredibly dangerous) technique to push their maxes multiple times.

what a sad fall for Curry who was a top 5 pick just a couple years ago... can it get much lower when even the Raiders don't want you?

I agree it's possible to improve muscular strength et al much stronger than pre injury. This is true in any case of repaired tissues.

I guess I kinda stated that the wrong way. It's certainly possible to come back stronger just as if a non-athletic person with say a 1x bodyweight squat tore their ACL and then worked up to a 3x bodyweight squat post surgery. Obviously, a dedicated athlete might have a 3x squat and be able to come back with enough good rehab and training to eventually do 3.5-4x squat.

However, the structural integrity of the tissue does not return to the same level prior to the injury because of scar tissue, chronic degeneration, etc. That's really what I meant to say.

Who were the last ILBs cut for the final roster? There was a journeyman who was really playing pretty well who got cut. I can't remember his name.

You may be thinking of Bryan Kehl. He's currently a member of the Chiefs.
