It's It's not a sprain it's a dislocation. Big difference. Dislocating your knee constitutes severing the ligaments and tendons that bond your knee cap to the leg bone. There's two options that Becton likely had to choose from: 1) Rehabilitate the knee as is. Many people can still function and avoid another dislocation without reattaching the ligaments and tendon to the leg bone. I just rehabilitated it twice and it seemed to be fine. However, after you dislocate it once you're more likely to do it again. 2) Go under the knife. In that situation you have to rehabilitate the knee completely. Regain all of your strength, combat the swelling, regain your complete range of motion. Then, you get your knee operated on. They align your knee cap perfectly in the center of the groove your knee cap slides in, they drill into your leg bone and attach a surgical screw and attach the ligaments and tendons to it, through time the screw dissolves and the tendon reattaches to the leg. The problem with that scenario is it takes a lot longer to recover. I would say the best timeframe is probably 6 to 8 months to heal from. To say it's simply a sprain is silly. It's not even close To the reality of the injury.....
Mahomes came back from this same injury in 2 weeks. They were both kneecap dislocations, not total dislocations of the knee joint.
That wasn't the surgery Becton had, it was to clean up damaged cartilage. 4-8 weeks projection. Saleh later said it is taking him longer because is a bigger human. We really need Becton to become smaller, in shape human by the next training camp.
Becton started all but 3 games last year. However, he had limited snaps in 4 games, one being one of the games he didn't start. He played in 14 of 16 games. Elijah Moore will have missed 6 games this year. Michael Carter has missed 3 games this year. By definition both of them are injury prone as well.
Except you excluded the fact that Becton missed 16/17 games this year. How is that at all an equitable comparison? I’m not even arguing one way or the other. But that’s quite silly.
honestly that’s a concern as well…both Moore and Carter have missed a lot of games…not a good sign doesn’t matter how good a player is if they miss half the games…
Moore is quite small but Carter isn’t. 200 pounds at his height is pretty stout. The Jets need to sit Moore in the film room with tape of Tyreek Hill to teach him how not to get hit. He’s not as quick or fast as Tyreek because no one is, but I’ve never seen a player avoid getting hit as much as that guy.
Carter is stout but he's not a bruiser - and can't be our every down back. The concussion that knocked him was a like welcome rookie to the league type of shoulder shot.
Is he sending a message to Lafleur and Saleh? Great, now he’s going to be called in for psychiatric evaluation!
More likely that he's sending a message to the people on social media who think he's dogging it and is a bust. It means nothing either way. What he does on the field is the only thing that matters.
If this guy was half as active on the field as he is on Twitter we wouldn't be having these discussions. His opinion of himself seems to be a fair ways off from reality.
No way. That's simply not possible. I don't know wth injury to Mahomes you're speaking of but there's no way if he dislocated his knee that he came back after 2 week. I call BULLSHIT....
There's NO way you can dislocate your knee cap without tearing the tendon of the leg bone. IMPOSSIBLE
