Looks like he's happy to get another shot and his agent seems to think the Skins structured his contract with an eye towards 2011. Kemoeatu excited about being a Redskin | National Football Post

Apparently his deal is full of incentives and bonuses, so there's not much guaranteed money. Smart deal by the Skins. Word is he won't be ready to go until training camp.

Finding Kemo? Anyone?

SBXVII · 03-10-2010, 01:39 PM

Just to be inquisitive...... has anyone else sufford a similar injury as an NFL player and done well after sergury?

If so great. I hope the best for him especially since he's a Redskin now. I'm sitting here imagining the combinations.....

Daniels, Kemo, AH

Orakpo, Kemo/AH, Carter

Orakpo, Daniels, Kemo, AH, Carter

Guys come back from Achille's injuries all the time now, it's not the career killer it used to be.

Example, Jon Jansen was back in a year with no lingering affects.

Yes forgot about him, but even when he came back it seemed like his lateral movement was diminished. However he did seem to play ok against us when we played Detroit this year.

I ruptured my achilles on Thanksgiving day and was playing softball the following March.

The only thing that I am worried about with this deal is why isn't he running by now? Either way, I am confident that James Andrews can fix whatever the problem is.

Apparently the wound wasn't healing right which required the 2nd procedure. So at least it wasn't a problem with the tendon itself.

Since I didn't know much about Achilles injuries, I looked it up. Seems like a pretty nasty injury based on this report. However, surgery gets better all the time.... I trust our new front office, and his contract is all incentive laden. Still a great signing.

One-Third of NFL Players With Achilles Tendon Injuries Sidelined

ScienceDaily (Jan. 15, 2010) — More than a third of National Football League (NFL) players who sustained an Achilles tendon injury were never able to return to professional play according to research in the current issue of Foot & Ankle Specialist (published by SAGE). The injured players who did return to active play averaged a 50% reduction in their power ratings.

The aim of the study was to document the epidemiology of Achilles tendon ruptures in the NFL and to quantify the impact of these injuries on player performance. Previous studies have looked at the occurrence of Achilles tendon ruptures in elite athletes in general, but very little was known about how often that type of injury occurred specifically in the NFL or how it affected the athlete's future ability to play.

Researchers looked at publicly available NFL data including websites that summarized games, statistics and injuries, to identify players who sustained complete Achilles tendon rupture. Also noted were such variables as the player's position, age, and number of years in the league prior to the injury. In addition, yearly performance statistics were collected for the players for the years before and after the injuries.

The study found that Achilles tendon ruptures can be career-altering injuries. Nearly 36% of players who sustained this injury never returned to play in the NFL and the ones who were able to return were never able to return to their pre-injury levels of play.

"This article provides a novel approach to shed light on valuable epidemiologic data for Achilles tendon ruptures among NFL players and the functional outcome of the injury," write authors Selene G. Parekh, Walter H. Wray, III, Olubusola Brimmo, Brian J. Sennett and Keith L. Wapner. "Future studies with the cooperation of the NFL and their official injury database are needed to fully evaluate the impact of Achilles injuries in this at-risk population."

Jansen and Buzbee returned from it. Buzbee insn't in the NFL but he is playing in the CFL.

I loved "studies" like this. What they fail to distinguish is that 2/3 of the league are one serious injury away from being out of the league anyways. They are holding on by their teeth to stay in the league when healthy. Once a big injury hits, even if they recover, they never get a second chance. I'd bet it's more like 2/3 of the starting players who suffer the injury make it back into the NFL. Maybe even more.

I love this move. Low risk...high reward. if they waited until he was healthy and ready to go then there are a bunch of teams bidding on him.
