Injuries

I don't know where the blame lies. But someone has to protect these players from themselves. And we are not doing that.

It really goes back to 2019 and probably before, when they allowed Strev to play on a broken ankle, the guy could barely walk. In that interview with Strev posted in the video thread, he talks about how he fooled the training staff by refusing to show how much pain he was in at the time.  Can't blame the player, they know their football career is their golden goose and without that opportunity they don't have much else to fall back on.

Streveler said Sunday he re-tore the anterior cruciate ligament and the meniscus in his left knee. Last year, he had the ACL and medial collateral ligament repaired, plus the posterior cruciate ligament was damaged.

"Thankfully, my MCL and PCL were intact," Streveler said of the latest injury. "That's the bright side of things. I don't even know if heartbreaking does it justice."

He plans surgery soon and then rehab, but added he tried to get ready to play in the East final.

When his knee swelled after running, he knew it was a pipe dream.

The meniscus is potentially worse depending how badly it is damaged. It is the layer that stops the knee from being bone on bone.

You can definitely play without a meniscus (they just remove the torn bit if it is floating). Long term will lead to arthritis. Short term requires anti-inflammatories and tylenol.

If the ACL is done then he is done.
