Olsen's foot

A couple weeks ago before the by,  GO didn't really sound very confident about the recovery of his break even though he was slated for return.  Yesterday he left the game early apparently due to "soreness".   Something that only he has the real measure of.   My point is some guys are willing to jeopardize their future health by coming back from injuries on the team doctors and trainers schedule, and some are not.  He had previously gone years without any sort of major injuries.  Now this foot break,  which if not healed properly could leave him a virtual cripple for the rest of his life.  ( yes this sort of thing can come back to haunt you as you age -  ) Greg being a smart man  apparently has plans for a life after football.  I wouldn't be expecting the same old care free lay it out there Olsen to be back this season, or maybe in future seasons either.

Hopefully his foot is similar to Julian Edlemen’s experience.  Think Rappaort commented on it but when Edlemen returned from that injury he thought he re-broke it.  But it was just scar tissue being broken up.   Odds are with Olsen, his foot is simply going to bother him for a minimum the rest of this season.  He isn’t going to return this year and be fine.  Some players with that injury have dealt with the lingering impacts for a year or more (Sammy).

Hopefully Olsen didn’t really re-injure himself and the foot is just doing what they do.  Might just mean limited reps to finish with the emphasis on big passing downs with him toughing it out.

This was my first thought.  Breaking up scar tissue in his first game action.

I like that they let him test it and see where he’s at.

The first sign of discomfort and the sat him.  Good job by the staff staying on top of it.  They know how important he is.

Im positive it’s just a precaution and he’ll be more involved next week.

Glad the X-Ray is negative. We all knew he was being limited yesterday anyway. When he came out of the game yesterday because of a "foot injury" I figured it was precautionary since he was still hanging around on the sidelines. Ron confirmed as much in the post game presser. Gut feeling is that he'll be active this weekend, but the staff should continue to ease him back in.

We're going to be okay and he is going to be okay. He's coming back from a serious injury and there's going to be some pain as he works back into playing shape. No reason to push and the team wisely sat him at the first signs of trouble. We're going to need him down the stretch, so we need to take our time and work him back slowly.

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
