Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / Re: Bombers sign WR Drew Wolit...
Last post by bunker - February 23, 2026, 01:09:34 AMLike you I'm not in the room, so its all speculation. But Schoen injured his ACL initially in June 2024, and return to training camp in May 2025, after 11 months. Standard return to play is 9-12 months, so nothing unusual there. Anywhere from 1/6 to 1/4 players with ACL injuries will have a second ACL injury within 2 years. Its an unfortunate aspect of the injury. There is some data that the knee returns slightly closer to normal (in term of testing metrics) by waiting an additional year (ie recovery of 21-24 months), at least in athletes under 25. But Schoen was 27 when he injured it, and asking him to delay his return an additional year without evidence that it actually reduces his risk of reinjury, and just based on the fact his knee would "test out" closer to normal after another 12 months, would have been a very hard sell, and outside the bounds of what is normally done. Jamal Parker and Lawson also rehabbed ACL injuries with the bombers within the past 2 years, with no reinjury so far. Its human nature to want to find someone to blame when bad things happen, but sometimes it just is what it is.

I know some of the staff personally from being in the health care field. They are well trained, have first rate reputations, and are incredibly ethical. I'm not saying mistakes can't be made, but you should have alot more first hand information before calling them negligent.
Hard to say at what level these decision are made, does trainer Al Couture override the qualified medical staff? Does O'Shea override all after talking with the players? Can't say everything is humpty dory, after witnessing what Schoen and Strev. have gone through in the past. At some point the players have to be protected for their own safety. If Schoen turned around and sued for loss of income a lawyer could make a pretty good case in his favour, depending who signed what documents and waivers that allowed him to play.

Last post by dd - February 22, 2026, 10:52:16 PMHe didn't say they were negligent, he said they either didn't know about it or were negligent, I d bet anything they didn't know about it and he played hurt only to get more ribs broken. It's unfortunate but sometimes players won't come out for fear of losing their job.

Either the medical staff didn't know about about his injury or they were negligent and allowed him to play anyway, seems these stories always end the same way with the player getting injured much worse than they were originally and missing the rest of the season.
