it is......
and for an elder, as myself, to witness the ability for kids to overcome such an injury is terrific
what is the common place "Tommy John" surgery was new age when I was young.
the world of "micro-surgery" is extraordinary, and the less invasive the approach the quicker we see recovery.
For sure, an Achilles was a career ender just moments ago.
Now, we're wondering if players will be ready for summer.
Wow.
not every player will get back to the field, or to their same level of play, but just saw a guy Saturday that had the "old" surgical approach, and what a scar he had for it.
and, as with so many players now, the level of damage has an unique dynamic to it.
For instance, the type of ACL injury that Todd Gurley suffered wasn't as appalling as others have endured. It's why our draft guys here noted that there was high level certainty that he'd be a monster sooner than later.
which makes me wonder about Webster. I was a long, long way from that injury that night, but even from that distance we all knew that Achilles snapped.
I just imagine that the level of injury for him would reflect his ability to play ball again or any time soon? One thing to have an aggravated Achilles, and require a fix versus the full snap?
