TheRealMcCoy Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Great guy, but I knew as soon as I heard that he couldn't put weight on it and had to be helped off that it was likely something season ending. Don't really hear about torn quad tendons though. Wonder what the recovery time will look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Huge loss for what was shaping up to be a monstrous front 4 for Big D, and a great guy. Considering his age, this might be it for him, but hey, at least no fears of COVID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSUeagles14 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 1 hour ago, ET80 said: I've seen it in basketball - Dikembe Mutumbo ruptured his quad his final year as a Houston Rocket. WWE COO Triple H and former NWO member Kevin Nash both had actual ruptured quads they suffered in match (not that it counts for 'rasslin, I guess). It's the opposite of rupturing a patella tendon - the tendon that attaches the quad and the patella pops, and the muscle can't contract without the lower anchor. It's a brutal injury, takes 12+ months to recover... first thought that a ruptured quad was more serious than an acl, glad to see Dr. ET has us covered. Acl surgeries and rehab are so common these days, wouldnt shock me if theres a day soon that guys come back in season from them, weird to say but would have been so much better if it was just the acl. Sucks for mccoy and dallas, hopefully this doesnt end his career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sryan66611 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Gerald McCoy has had some odd injuries... I dunno if he just had bad genetics but he also tore multiple muscles IIRC it was his Biceps and/or pec early in his career. A lot of peeps thought he might be an injury bust early in his career.

I’m a bit Squimish when it comes to injuries, so I didn’t watch any of those videos. 😂 But yeah I can relate to the torn ACL but the other injury sounds miserable. I’m annoyed when I get a meniscus tear. So something that would disrupt my entire life for months and create untold pain would be truly terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were him I feel like I would attempt a comeback, but only because the motivation to get back to an NFL level athletically would force me to take my rehab more seriously from a mentality standpoint. But yeah, in all actuality this sounds like it just might be the end of the line for his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be the last time they do that drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
