This isn't good news. Any time Gibbs just "mentions" a knee I think back to Arrington and that mess........

I agree. Tendonitis is not just a "sore knee." It's inflamed tendons that can be very painful, and it's nagging and recurring. And what's more important to a RB than his knees?? This sucks big time IMO.

Is it May or September? This is a non-issue unless it lingers and with the depth that they have at runningback, they have absolutely no reason to push him back into action before it is healed. Even if they had to scope it right now it would have no bearing on the season.

At first, I was a little worried that they sent him to Andrews but then I figured that they want the best in world looking at him from the beginning so there isn't a problem down the line.

Granted, it is only mid-May and CP has plenty of time to get right. But I wouldn't call knee tendonitis in our $56M star tailback who's already coming off shoulder surgery a "non-issue." It's a concern for sure, and needs to be monitored. I'm glad Dr. Andrews is on the job. He's the man.
