Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
Quote:
I had it taped up really good around the thumb and wrist so it was almost fixed, but I didn't have trouble holding onto the ball. I'm sure Kelly could probably get a special padded glove too, since it is painful, but he's a pro athlete and should have no trouble playing with it in my opinion. His training staff is worlds better too. If he needs offseason surgery, he will be ready for next year. Mine were completely torn and you can't repair ligaments like that, so they had to fuse the joint permanently with two screws. It's the middle of the 3 joints on the thumb (not the one that bends the tip or the one that's closest to your palm, the one by the web). I have no trouble with it, doesn't get in my way or anything, so he could still play even with the worst-case surgery of fusing it. Recovery time is about 3 months.

Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
He has a degenerative thumb condition from playing to much Call of Duty and FIFA.

Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
Sounds like an excuse. A hurt thumb does not prevent a wide receiver from getting separation from a defensive back or fighting for a reception. BUST. Another wasted draft pick.

Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
It's looking that way.
Why play an injured player when you have another just as good (MARKO) waiting on the sideline? I don't get it. It seems like the high drafted players have to have a broken leg before they get benched. It is not like Kelly is having a probowl season. Sit him down if he is injured! WTF! |

Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
I say rest him till the thumb heals and let's see what Marko can do.

Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
Fully-torn ligaments do not heal and require surgery. Partial ones CAN heal on their own.

Re: Kelly Playing with Hurt Thumb
Zorn said DT will get more pt, if he can make a few plays then he might be the starter v. KC. Of course, he's had his chances to win the job before.
