Cockrell is done

I just looked at the photo. Keep in mind I am not a doctor, but I'll be grad school next month and I currently work in a rehab hospital, and look at these kind of injuries all the time. I have not een any of his imaging. 

That said, the photo isn't really that bad. 

I can't tell if it's an open fracture from the picture, because those surprisingly don't bleed that much. the biggest concern with a break like that, especially with its proximity to the ankle, is vascular damage. The reason they rushed him to the hospital is so they could CT scan him and make sure he's still getting blood flow to the foot.

Advice: if you're ever playing softball or whatever and you see a break like this, write the time down on the person's foot. That way when they get to the ER, the doctors will know how long they've potentially been without bloodflow to the foot. Also, you can check for a pulse in the foot. If you don't feel it, impress the ladies and tell 911 you need a CTA waiting for him at the ED. Say stat or something. 

As far as what's going to happen to him, if reports are true that it's a tib/fib and not just one or the other, then he's looking at whats called an Internal Reduction External Fixation. Essentially this means they're going to open up his leg, put everything back where it needs to be, then sticking a bunch of pins through him and locking it down outside the leg. After 4-6 weeks or so, they'll go back in and repair it AGAIN. So yeah he's not playing again this year.

If it was just one or the other, and it was the right kind of break, he could return this year. I saw a guy in the ED once with a broken fibula with his foot pointing like 135 degrees the wrong way. He was putting light pressure on it ten days later.

It would probably come out something like he has ED and I need a nurse to check for a pulse stat.

Dang, I'm not sure who this hurts more, him or our secondary. I never thought Worley would be hard to replace...

He won't be. He was terrible. I was just hoping for a significant upgrade. Unless Jackson is a quick study rookie, I'm not so sure we'll get that now.

lol, then if we don't get an upgrade, terrible or not, Worley was hard to replace...

Terrible is terrible. Terrible isn't hard to replace. It's highly unlikely we'll see a downgrade simply because downgrading from Worley with a player on an NFL roster is practically impossible.

Well, I really wasn't being literal when I said that he was hard to replace. I said it because we have yet to replace him, not implying that his play was hard to be replaced. But in the meantime: Shareece Wright, Justin Bethel, Ryan Smith, to name a few.

Even if Cockrell hadn't went down, I wouldn't have expected this competition to be over with for awhile anyway. I think we're actually going to see a legit competition at that spot which is a rarity for a Rivera coached team.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to watching DJax (Donte Jackson) this season and to come...

Was Cockrell getting 1st or 2nd team reps?

I don't remember seeing his name on any of the rep observations for the secondary..
