jbt Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The Jets believe Osemele can have surgery after the season, but he doesn't want to delay the process. The Jets are now planning on fining their left guard for conduct detrimental to the team if he opts to sit out. It's a messy situation, one that could easily drag on. If Osemele undergoes surgery, he's expected to miss the rest of the season.

Apache 51 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Why Jets’ Kelechi Osemele’s injury has him on brink of fines or suspension Updated 3:42 PM; Today 3:41 PM By Matt Stypulkoski | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Jets left guard Kelechi Osemele faces a major decision Saturday. Osemele, who has missed the past two games due to injury, told reporters Friday that he has a torn labrum. The 30-year-old said he suffered the tear on Aug. 5, during training camp, but has been playing through it since. Then he re-injured the shoulder in Week 3, which knocked him out of the lineup. According to Osemele, two doctors – including the Jets’ team doctor – have told him he needs surgery. But, he said, the team has not authorized the procedure. A source told NJ Advance Media that two doctors have indeed examined Osemele, but that both deemed the injury to be a pre-existing condition and one that he could play through – then have repaired at the end of the season. According to the source, the Jets want Osemele to return to practice Saturday. If he does not, he will face either fines or a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.

Popular Post CTJetsFan Posted October 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2019 Not a good optic for the team/organization. If a guy has an injury and wants to have surgery to get it fixed, it should be his call. They want to fine him on top of it? Can't imagine that's going over too well in the locker room. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, that's not cool, especially if the injury is pre-existing and playable.

First of all, Luck retired. Secondly, if the Jets want to play him at some point later in the year, well that's exactly what he's being paid 11 million dollars to do. Play. This is an injury he could have had surgery on LAST YEAR and he passed on it. Now he knows that he's going to be hitting FA and wants to have surgery. Sorry. That's not how it works. If the surgery isn't necessary, and it isn't, he doesn't get to ride an injury from last year to a cool 11 million because he's pissed he got benched. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Sounds like this could get ugly. Sure hope this report is incorrect. It is one thing to disagree over a diagnosis/treatment plan, but another thing altogether to falsify records. Not sure how credible Lefkoe or his source (Osemele?) is, but I hope he got this wrong, otherwise it is a really bad look for the team.

King P Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This could be an ugly situation. If Osmele is having doctors telling him he needs surgery, he needs to have surgery. Screw what the team doctors say. I never trust them anyway. They work for the team, so they have the team's best interest at heart and not the player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If the doctors say he should be able to play through this I would trust them. The doctors aren't going to make claims like that if they aren't certain because of liability. If he wants to get his surgery now then the team can't stop him though but they should not be responsible for his full salary for the season if he opts not to play when he is medically cleared.Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players should have final say over their bodies. He didn't sign here as a FA....he was traded. Teams exchange medical info so if this was pre-existing, Jets assumed the risk. Who knows how much worse it has become or what his pain tolerance is. The history of the NFL is littered with bad "play thru it or else" stories. I can't defend the Jets on this one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.O. was quickly my favorite signing of the offseason. I heard a few interviews with him and he is incredibly likable and seems like a really good guy. Point being, nothing about him comes across as a problem personality. He has underperformed this season and there have been talks of trading or benching him for weeks, I dont blame him one bit for wanting to protect himself and his prospects for next season with another team. The Jets don't care how surgery after the season negatively impacts his future after the Jets... K.O does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
