Saosin Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Lets be honest with this. With these types of injuries, it was bound to happen anyway since the ligament was weakened anyway. As someone who had a meniscectomy and now has arthritis in that knee, I highly recommend a repair for long term knee health vs just removing it. Short term its a good option to remove but since JJ is not in line to be the starter for this season, I'd be more happy to have him repair it for long term health. Lets be honest with this.

It would seem silly not to do a thorough repair considering he plans on playing football for the next 15 years. Not exactly a low-impact lifestyle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks he has this but long term for us its a good thing it happened now and not 2-3 years from now when the Vikings are fighting for playoff rankings.

SteelKing728 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 He could go on PUP to start the season, right? This stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. In order to be placed on the PUP to start the season, they need to have been placed on the PUP before training camp started. If it’s. More than a few weeks, they’ll probably put him on IR, with a designation to return. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakout Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 This sucks but it might end up being a good thing long term. I have wanted him to sit out his rookie season and I have been worried that they were gonna eventually end up tossing him out there. They brought Darnold in to be the bridge quarterback so let him be that this season. Plus from what we know of McCarthy, he is gonna be involved as much as he can possibly be even if he is hopping around on one leg from room to room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two players on IR prior to final cut downs may be designated to return. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing good about this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Losing valuable on field reps during the remainder of training camp and preseason hurts. He'll have to hit the classroom/film study extra hard and get the mental reps. Hopefully the recovery is on the shorter side of things so he can resume the on-field work sooner rather than later. 4-6 weeks would be mid September/early October, 9 months is mini-camp/OTA's next May/June. Praying for something closer to the former but ultimately want JJ to get back to 100% and not rush back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad People Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Curious how long he would have to be off it? Basically what im wondering is if he can get back atleast practicing somewhat and get some reps in even if it means he still wont play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
