Zach Wilson: Bone Bruise AND Meniscal Tear (Out 2 to 4 Weeks)

[Irish Jet]

Yeah that 2-4 weeks will likely be the new 4-8 weeks that we seen for Becton.

Probably wont see him until October.

Great news but Zach has reached Greg Oden level for me, every time he runs from now on I'm afraid he's gonna break something.

It's almost as if trying to diagnose an injury via 30 second video clip is not entirely accurate.

[HawkeyeJet]

Ok.  I can deal.

[munchmemory]

Meniscus tear?   Anybody truly know what this entails?

Thank god.

Now we can back to worrying about why he overthrew Garrett Wilson by 10 yards on a 5 yard slant, or how he telegraphed that INT right into the LB's hands. 

I still kinda want Jimmy G

If true must be the surgery route for Zach 

Meniscus tears are the most frequently treated knee injuries. Recovery will take about 6 to 8 weeks if your meniscus tear is treated conservatively, without surgery.

Meniscus surgery is a common operation to remove or repair a torn meniscus, a piece of cartilage in the knee. The surgery requires a few small incisions and takes about an hour. Recovery and rehabilitation take a few weeks.

Besides Zach's injury, anyone know if Mims recovered from getting winded/fatigued after being in the game for 40 seconds?

How the hell do you bruise a bone without contact? Seems crazy to me.

I believe, from what a doctor had posted a video of this morning, that a bone bruise would be caused by two bones suddenly pushing down on each other. If I interpreted it correctly...

[Joe W. Namath]

You knew something tore in there.  Glad i was wrong and it was the meniscus not the acl.  Best possible news we could have gotten today.

Unlike Becton, you hear nothing but good things about Wilson’s work ethic and commitment to the game.

The tear of the meniscus can lead to bone on bone contact that leads to a bruise. Sometimes pulling of the tendons really hard can also bruise the underlying bone. I'd have to see a scan to really guess any further as to etiology.

I was told in the game thread that its 100% OBVIOUSLY a torn ACL.

Since he’s having the surgery, he has a legit shot to play week 1

Depends. Have had both menisci done. One 2 8 weeks of rehab, but the other was fine the next day. I am not playing QB in the NFL. Recall though Ben Rothlisberger played  a whole with a  tear, but he stayed in the pocket and got rid of the ball rather than taking off anyway.

Would be great (especially since I am going to the game week 1), but I am not counting on it.  Really looking forward to that epic matchiup as Joe Flacco goes up agaisn the team he led to the Super Bowl 10 years ago.  Gonna be awesome.

He needs to give TO a call to see if his hyperbaric chamber is still available.

[Greensleeves]

I'm a tennis player that competes on the national level and lost 15 lbs even though I was never heavy, just so I would put less pressure on my knees. Perhaps this is a product of Zach's extra weight/muscle that he put on and his joints and his body has not adjusted to it yet. Or it's just the damn turf in Philly!

Respect for the, “even though I was extremely wrong I was actually right” effort.
