What is the treatment for a minor triceps tear? Treatment options include rest, ice, heat, pain relief and mobility and strength exercises. The recovery time for a minor triceps tear can be one to four weeks.

What is the treatment for a major triceps tear? Treatment is surgery followed by intensive physical therapy. The recovery time for a major triceps tear is four to six months.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. A "torn" tricep to me means out for the season.
Any way we look at it, it's not good.

Re: Randy Thomas torn tricep
 

All depends on the extent of the tear. We won't know until he has a MRI.

Re: Randy Thomas torn tricep
 

He didn't seem to be in a lot of pain on the sidelines, which at least could be positive. And it's not like we couldn't move the ball on the ground or pass protect after he was injured...

Oddly enough a torn tricep is not that painful. Can't tell you why. I partially ripped mine, and had no clue other than when I went to use it hard. Of course, Thomas has to use it hard every play, but on the sidelines I doubt he felt much of anything.

When you lose two starting linemen and one of them is your first or second best linemen that is a major problem. I'm worried.

Ray Lewis had a torn tricep week one and was back week 2.

Riiight. I'm just pointing out that our o line didn't fall apart, even with the right side filled in by backups. That's a good sign. Obviously we'd rather have the starters in there.

Randy Thomas could be a huge loss if he is out for an extended period of time. Hopefully Jason Fabini can step up like Todd Wade did for us.

Re: Randy Thomas torn tricep
 

Hopefully Fabini can *stop* stepping up before the ball is snapped.

Re: Randy Thomas torn tricep
 

hopefully this isnt a season ending injury, but atleast our line looked good today. wade did well i thought

Re: Randy Thomas torn tricep
 

Yeah I don't think we're gonna have a problem with Wade, but Jason Fabini scares me. He had too many false starts for one. We can manage if Thomas is out for a short period of time, but if he's out for the season I think we should look at all possible replacements.

Re: Randy Thomas torn tricep
 

Very tough loss, if it's for the season. Randy's a team leader as well. And, according to JC, the team cook on Tuesdays.

i agree. fabini cant be our starting right guard the whole season.
