JC...how long does dislocated patella take to heal??

Even if the injury is on the severe side--I think JC should be ready for 2008.

Good to hear. This season is done, IMO. May as well get everyone healed up and ready for next year.

We're going to have to wait and see really how much associated ligament/tendon damage their is with this injury. I'll assume for now that it is a patellar tendon rupture with dislocation. Normally patients need about 6 months with good physical therapy. Being an athlete--Campbell may heal a bit faster. Let's wait until they do the MRI in a few days...

6 months???????? I thought this was a 4-6 week injury. Jeez. That sucks. I think the QB's should wear a brace on the plant leg. It seems like most of the qb injuries to the knees come on the plant leg.

A dislocation alone will be 1-2 months. However, if there is tendon or ligament injury--which we will not know until after the MRI--the recovery could be 6 months.

All depends on the degree of the tendon damage.

I am convinced there is a black cloud over this team.

I could only shake my head an laugh at that point, to keep from smashing something. Guess the native Americans have finally called in their curse for the whole "Redskins" thing. Or it's one of those trials of Job things. Or it's cause I've been a bad person--my fault, most likely. Sorry folks.

I thought he tore his ACL, MCL, or PCL based on how much pain he appeared to be in. I looked at my girlfriend and said, "he's done for the year and may not be back next year." I can deal with 6 months. I could not have dealt with 12-18.

Dude that is really hard to do. I highly doubt he tore everything.

No, I know hoos. I meant to say that I initially thought he tore either the ACL, MCL, or PCL. I realize that he probably didn't tear anything.

You mean you realize he didn't tear "everything" right? I am confused right now, but I think we are saying the same thing.

I agree with the fact that it seemed like he tore a ligament.
