ET80 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 That's his second knee injury, right? Or did he miss his rookie season with a shoulder injury? I forget. Google is telling me shoulder/labrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I was so sold on him pre-draft. It seems like he can't stay healthy, and when he is, he hasn't looked good from what I've seen. He got help on the play and still let up the game winning sack/fumble in the Giants game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I would really need to know the severity of the injury before making any judgments, but certainly not a good look. The thing is though, at a certain point, bad teams just start shelving guys for the year if they are just going to miss a couple of weeks to try and get them healthy for the next season...meanwhile helping their draft positioning lol. The 49ers when Shanny first got here would put sooooooooo many guys on IR with injuries that you'd look at and go, "wait, he's going to miss 8 weeks with that?", so I'd need more specifics. But two straight injured seasons for Williams is kind of a disaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and see, I wouldn't be worried about that long term, so that doesn't bother me. Still not a good look with regards to long term outlook regarding the ability to stay healthy, but I'm not concerned about this injury sapping any ability or anything like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not willing to call a guy injury prone because a DL fell into ther back of his knee, irrergardless of the shoulder injury wher he landed funky in practice. Fluke things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there before with my rookie golden boy, he came back... in a big way. You're good, trust me.

Still not a good look with regards to long term outlook regarding the ability to stay healthy, but I'm not concerned about this injury sapping any ability or anything like that. I've had 2 MCL surgeries. One for a partial tear, one for a full tear. If it's just a sprain or partial tear, it's maybe a 3 week injury. If it's a rupture, it's closer to an 8 week injury. But either way, it won't affect him for a few years pain wise or unless it gets super cold. Even then, he'll just have to make sure to warm it up. It's more of a stability ligament and less of one that makes your knee actually move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle issues never go away either (see John Ross) Edited December 11, 2020 by INbengalfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
