Some Insight On Beasons Recovery

Recommended Posts

The issue isn't that his achilles heel didn't heal properly, that is what the 11 months is all about. It is more about the achilles functioning as it did before. There is going to be scar tissue and no matter how many stem cells you get, the tendon is not going to stretch and be as elastic as it was before. The player has to learn how to compensate for the differences that are going to be there forever. In time players can learn to compensate and function relatively normally but it takes time.

Kuechly is here because the staff knows that Beason will struggle and Davis could be gone for good. 3 ACLs on the same knee are pretty much the limit. But of course no one is going to come out and say it as they want to support them and know that a positive attitude is critical to recovery for both of them.

And I think that Beason at less than 100 percent is a liability. The difference between making a play and whiffing is often a step or less. If he can't run at full speed and be as explosive as before then anyone we replace him with will be better. Anyone who thinks a player at 70% can still be effective don't have a clue.

Achilles injuries are bad, especially a complete rupture. My boss blew his outplaying basketball a couple years ago and it took it took him a year and a few months before he could really move on it and it still bugs him today. Granted he isn't Beason.

II hope Beason and TD can stay healthy, but my intuition leads me to think that both may end up like Fields or Morgan. It seems like Panthers linebackers are cursed to have promising but short careers.

I'm not being serious (though all nfl players use PED of some kind) but this is seriously the oldest excuse in the world.

Steroids intramuscularly are used all the time for "pain shots" and do cause tendon rupture...I wouldn't be surprised if they shot Beas up a few times before that Arizona game to dull his pain from the ankle injury he was suffering from. So you're not far off with your idea.

Stick to acting. Maybe you played a doctor sometime. Hardly qualifies you to know what you are talking about,
