Anthony walker, torn quad tendon
-
Never seen this type of injury. Recovery time period is obviously lengthy.
With that, do we roll with JP at MIke? Or go out and see whats on the market. Personally I like Jp, but wouldn't mind bringing in a Blake Martinez or Malcolm Smith for security. You know them LSU guys seem pretty injury prone.
Here's to a speedy recovery for Walker/JOK

I had to look this one up to be sure it's in that quad/knee and all of those types of related sports injuries. A complete tear sounds like a big deal.
Professional sports athletes get the best care and rehabilitation out there plus they are in good physical condition to begin with.
Best of luck to him.
Quadriceps Tendon Tear
Tendons are strong bands of tissue that attach muscles to bones. The quadriceps tendon is the most important tendon involved in straightening the knee from a bent position.
Small tears of this tendon cause pain or make it difficult to walk and participate in other daily activities. A complete tear of the quadriceps tendon is a disabling injury. It almost always requires surgery, followed by physical therapy to regain full knee motion and function.
Quadriceps tendon tears are not common. They most often occur among middle-aged people who play running or jumping sports.
Anatomy
The four quadriceps muscles meet just above the kneecap (patella) to form the quadriceps tendon. The quadriceps tendon attaches the quadriceps muscles to the patella. The patella is attached to the shinbone (tibia) by the patellar tendon. Working together, the quadriceps muscles, quadriceps tendon, and patellar tendon form a pulley mechanism to straighten the knee.
The knee and tendons. Muscles are connected to bones by tendons.
Description
Quadriceps tendon tears can be either partial or complete.
Partial tears. Many tears do not completely disrupt the tendon. This is similar to a rope stretched so far that some of the fibers are frayed, but the rope is still in one piece.
Complete tears. A complete tear will split the soft tissue into two pieces, or the tendon will completely separate from the bone.
When the quadriceps tendon completely tears, the muscle is no longer anchored to the kneecap. Without this attachment, the knee cannot straighten when the quadriceps muscles contract. Patients may experience significant swelling or bruising, or notice a divot or gap if they feel the area above the kneecap.

In other words... His knee is really fucked up and hurts like fuck...

Steelers Depot 7⃣@SteelersdepotChuks on Walker #Steelers x.com/lowlightheaven… -
no real topic spot for this...
but we're now down officially 2 spots... Losing A. Walker is a brutal Captain & green dot loss.. PS LB Dakota Allen should get next call up... and..
The Rams signed, CB Shaun Jolly from the Browns practice squad on Friday.
Shaun Jolly must go to Rams 53 man

not an expert, but I would think the patellar tendon would tear before the quadriceps tendon - it's narrower.
But that will take serious physical therapy to come back from. Yikes. I feel bad for Walker.

Certainly best wishes to Walker and speedy recovery.
Someone named Schobert remains available.. and will actually be less than Walker on the cap. He signed w Denver before this season as FA but got cut.
Alexander Johnson may be only-a-run-stuffer but as a reserve backer to take a few [20-25?] snaps a game, you could do a lot worse than PFF's LB rated the best at run-stuffing

I've been through more than a few PTs but that would be a big one. On the plus side professional football teams have the facilities and people to get it done. -but- you still have to get it done on your own.
One day at a time.
