Apache 51 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Jets’ Sam Darnold out with mono: What is mononucleosis? How long does it usually last? Updated 11:44 AM; Today 10:59 AM By Brian Fonseca | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Jets starting quarterback Sam Darnold is out indefinitely with mononucleosis, head coach Adam Gase announced on Monday. Yes, you read that right. Mono, sometimes referred to as the kissing disease, is an infectious illness that is spread through bodily fluids, according to WebMD. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, which is transmitted through saliva. While kissing is a common way to contract it, mono can also be “exposed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing a glass or food utensils with someone who has mono,” per MayoClinic. How long can Darnold be affected by this? Well, it depends. According to WebMD, “most people who get mono feel better in about 2 to 4 weeks,” but that isn’t always the case. Sometimes, “the fatigue can last for several weeks after that. In some cases, it can take 6 months or longer for the symptoms to go away,” according to WebMD. Gase mentioned the bye week in Week 4 during his Thursday press conference, suggesting the Jets don’t expect him back until at least Week 5 when they vist the Philadelphia Eagles. That fits within the timeline of the illness. Even when Darnold gets in good enough health to get back on the football field, he might still be feeling the side effects of the illness. Some of the symptoms include “a fever, fatigue, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, or other symptoms, like sore muscles and a loss of appetite.” The latter explains why Darnold lost as much as 5 pounds this week, according to Gase. It will take some time for Darnold to recover that weight. There are other less common complications associated with mono, according to MayoClinic, including but not limited to; enlargement of the spleen, liver inflammation, jaundice, anemia, heart problems, nervous system complications and swollen tonsils. How much mono affects Darnold longterm will be seen later in the season. For now, one thing is certain — he shouldn’t share a meal with any of his teammates any time soon.

If you watch the presser...Gase downplays this. Says Sam has only lost 5 lbs. Sam's worry is that he's going to lose more and he wanted to make sure the team was gonna help him out with meals while he is out of the facility. I'm sure momma Darnold is on a flight right now to come help take care of her boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmbrother Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Wait to return to sports and some other activities Most signs and symptoms of mononucleosis ease within a few weeks, but it may be two to three months before you feel completely normal. The more rest you get, the sooner you should recover. Returning to your usual schedule too soon can increase the risk of a relapse. To help you avoid the risk of rupturing your spleen, your doctor may suggest that you wait about one month before returning to vigorous activities, heavy lifting, roughhousing or contact sports. Rupture of the spleen results in severe bleeding and is a medical emergency. Ask your doctor about when it's safe for you to resume your normal level of activity. Your doctor may recommend a gradual exercise program to help you rebuild your strength as you recover. Coping and support Mononucleosis can last weeks, keeping you at home as you recover. Be patient with your body as it fights the infection. For young people, having mononucleosis will mean some missed activities — classes, team practices and parties. Without a doubt, you'll need to take it easy for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hael Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Ugh!! Mono is a scary disease for an athlete. Most of the time you are completely fine, and it passes in a week or two (you are wonky for a few additional days as you recover). But it's a weird disease and it has been known in rare cases to be persistent for months and even years thereafter, and for some reason is particularly virulent for athletes. In Tennis, Ancic and Soderling both had to retire b/c of this, and Roger Federer (one of the best pure athletes i've ever seen play any sport) carried it and missed 5 months but was never really the same thereafter, and lost to Nadal in the famous wimbledon match that year. It really took him a full year to be right again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea this was so bad..... Mononucleosis, and return to the Tour (2007–2010)[edit] He entered the 2007 Australian Open as the ninth seed, and advanced to a fourth round. In Marseille, Ančić retired in the first round and was diagnosed with mononucleosis.[19] Later, he confessed that he was playing sick a week before in a match against Germany in the Davis Cup, and the virus had started to affect him at the Australian Open.[20] Due to his illness, Ančić spent most of the next 10 weeks in bed[21] and missed six months from the tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t give that rag arm scrub Fitzpatrick any ideas he’ll add mono to his Voodoo bag of tricks when he goes to his next team to take out their starting QB. But now the Jets will have their own rag arm to watch in Simeon. I swear even with Darnold out it would be kind of cool to see some kid who had an arm and could throw it all over the park win or lose...but now we’re treated to this sh*t...pure WORTHLESS football on Offense.

TuscanyTile2 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Unfortunately we have to write this season off from the Darnold perspective. Unless he comes back and plays great, we’re not going to be able to fairy judge his play this year. If he plays poorly ,we’ll have the “he’s still feeling the effects” in the back of our minds.

Jetsfan80 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 1 hour ago, HessStation said: What’s the cap look like next year is currently my only concern Per overthecap.com, Prior to re-signing any players, we're projected to have $49.4M in cap space entering the 2020 offseason. The following players will be free agents, with very few of them having any justification to bring back: WR Robby Anderson LT Kelvin Beachum DT Leonard Williams OLB Jordan Jenkins RT Brandon Shell C Ryan Kalil P Lac Edwards LS Thomas Hennessy ILB Neville Hewitt DE Brandon Kaufusi OLB Frankie Luvu RB Bilal Powell RB Ty Montgomery G Tom Compton G Alex Lewis S Rontez Miles OLB Brandon Copeland CB Brian Poole NT Steve McLendon QB Trevor Siemian OT Brent Qvale WR Demaryius Thomas TE Ryan Griffin TE Daniel Brown We'd also have the option to create cap space by getting rid of the following players (savings in perentheses): G Kelech Osemele ($11.7M) G Brian Winters ($7.5M) CB Darryl Roberts ($6M) C Jonotthan Harrison ($2.25M) WR/ST Josh Bellamy ($2.25M) LB Jordan Willis ($865K) LB Charles Tapper ($735K) CB Nate Hairston ($735K) LB Harvey Langi ($660K) DT John Franklin-Myers ($660K) WR Braxton Berrios ($660K) If cut, none of those 11 players would cause us to suffer a Dead Cap hit either. So we have as much as $82.7M in cap space if we really wanted it, though in that instance we'd be left with just 23 players under contract (a list that would include Darnold, Mosley, Bell, Jamal Adams, Quinnen Williams, Trumaine Johnson, Crowder, Williamson, Henry Anderson, Enunwa, Herndon, Maye and Edoga).

Irish Jet Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Well at least my biggest fears of him being snapped in half over the next few weeks have eased. I Also get to sleep on Monday night, which is nice. Little victories. This franchise is actually cursed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hahaha.. has a starting QB ever missed multiple weeks from mono? Edit: just realized it can be more serious, always knew it as the kissing disease and most kids were happy to get the time off school. Hope he recovers quickly but damn this franchise is cursed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
