OT: Is Dak Prescott out for the season?

The NFL Players Association sucks. If there's any sport that should have fully guaranteed contracts, it's the NFL. Maybe they have to go with shorter contracts to appease the owners, but all contracts should be fully guaranteed.

I had the same exact injury playing softball at 40 (ambulance came on the field) It took me over a year to walk without a pronounced limp and only then it took acupuncture to get me over the final hurdle. Believe it or not the tendons and ligaments are harder to heal than the ankle bone itself they get stretched so far during the dislocation. He is significantly younger and in better shape obviously but I have never experienced any weakness once fully healed, so I think he has a good chance of returning. Jason Kendall of the Pirates suffered the same injury and was able to resume his career.

Looks like the prognosis is four to six months.

On the bad injury scale, this one was not quite as bad as the visual...sixteen weeks of healing time is not bad at all. Lots of things take a lot longer to heal....ACLs, Achille, Providence recruiting, Tommy John surgery, etc.

Hurdles? No but I ended up being able to walk again after a lot of work. If it was humor you are after, stick to your day job. Although being Mr. Literal can be funny with the right audience.

It's not done yet but unfortunately I think you are right (kids don't spend 2 weeks working on an announcement video to attend PC) but Ed I think really came close. It's just nearly impossible for us to compete with all those schools for a kid at this level but Ed keeps trying.

Not sure that’s true.

The pelicans didn’t want to pay him the super max, so they traded him. They didn’t want him to become their version of John wall.

No they both planned to sign the extension, then the Kings got cold feet and traded him. It's even in the article you just posted

From his agent:

"They have assured me, and DeMarcus, that the Kings won't trade him and are committed to signing DeMarcus long term. In fact, Vlade has gone on record saying exactly the same thing. If the Kings flip-flop on what they committed, that is on them.

"Under the circumstances and given the Kings' commitments, I would find it highly unlikely that DeMarcus would re-sign with a team that trades for him at this point.‎"
 
I hate Dallas, but I hope Dak can come back and come back strong. It's amazing what hey can do these days.

My mom suffered a compound fracture of both the tibia and fibula with an ankle dislocation. Her orthopedist, who has over 20 years of experience, actually had to look away and gather himself when he saw her injury and said it was the worst he has ever seen. He usually deals with sports injuries, but luckily was the doctor on duty on August 30th. They told her she wouldn't be able to bear weight on it until March. Tuesday, she took her first walk around the house with a walker under her PT's observation. They can't believe how quickly she is healing and that she is doing so well, especially since she turn 76 a few days after the injury.

I know it's different for everyone and people's individual bodies have a lot of say in it. The big thing is to make sure there is no infection right now.

I think you need to re read it.
The article says cousins would’ve taken the 209. But no one else could offer him 209 so he wasn’t going to sign an extension with the team that traded for him. He wasn’t betting on himself, he was going to get that money whenever he chose to go. I believe he would also have gotten more money if he waited until he got to fa.

The supermax failed

The real question now is if it can be fixed or whether it’s best to stop digging an even deeper hole.

Everyone’s making fun of that, but I actually did the same thing bc of the way he was calmly holding his calf... then when they zoomed in I was like “WHOA OK that’s his bone sideways!”
