3 years if you look at Walter Payton

It depends on the severity of it, our resident Warpath Doctor (we just hired him) will officially let us know shortly

I'm reading about it and it says that if surgery is required you have to wear a brace for 6 weeks and then rehab.

Which would mean that JC is done till 08.

We're going to have to wait and see really how much associated ligament/tendon damage their is with this injury. I'll assume for now that it is a patellar tendon rupture with dislocation. Normally patients need about 6 months with good physical therapy. Being an athlete--Campbell may heal a bit faster. Let's wait until they do the MRI in a few days...

Thank you, Warpath Doc

6 months???????? I thought this was a 4-6 week injury. Jeez. That sucks. I think the QB's should wear a brace on the plant leg. It seems like most of the qb injuries to the knees come on the plant leg.

A dislocation alone will be 1-2 months. However, if there is tendon or ligament injury--which we will not know until after the MRI--the recovery could be 6 months.

I am convinced there is a black cloud over this team.

I thought he tore his ACL, MCL, or PCL based on how much pain he appeared to be in. I looked at my girlfriend and said, "he's done for the year and may not be back next year." I can deal with 6 months. I could not have dealt with 12-18.

Dude that is really hard to do. I highly doubt he tore everything.

I felt exactly the same way and basically told my wife the same thing. Luckily we only have a one story house so I couldn't hurl myself out a window. So far I'm encouraged that it's not the Palmer, McNabb, Culpepper type injury. Even if it means he's definitely done for this season.

If this is a tear, it's the same injury that sent Mike Espy to the IR back in the preseason.

I'm a big advocate of linemen and QBs wearing knee braces 100% of the time. I know they hinder mobility, but so do crutches.

mheisig · 12-06-2007, 11:51 PM

I'm no doctor, but it seems pretty obvious to me that Campbell is done for the season, no doubt about it. The question isn't if he'll come back for 2007, but will he be 100% come 2008.

NYCSkin · 12-06-2007, 11:57 PM

Even if the injury is on the severe side--I think JC should be ready for 2008.
