Joe is having his knee looked at this week. Hyperextension.
Are there different severities of a hyperextension?
Biggest thing you worry about with a hyperextension injury is damage to the PCL. However, the PCL has much better capacity to heal on its own non-operatively, as it is about 3x as thick as the ACL and has really good blood supply. You always have the risk of damage to a meniscus as well. Long-term, without knowing any specifics, I would say his prognosis for full recovery is excellent, and odds are pretty good he won't have to have surgery. Probably will need to wear a brace this year, but plan was probably going to be to redshirt him anyways, so this gives him a chance to fully recover and work on rebuilding strength in the hip/leg muscles that will help stabilize his knee in the long run.
Thank you. I will take that as pretty good news...
Any time you have a kid going to see the doc for a knee injury, I wait nervously until the news comes out. So many variables and possibilities, it's really hard to know what to expect. And I'm going off very little information, so I would take that with a grain of salt. Hoping the best for Joe, I'm excited to see him suit up for the Cats!
The 'good news" is that he may be a redshirt.
Gosh, make him a grey shirt.

So if you are a Grey shirt, do you get any financial assistance from the university? I was under the impression that you don’t even enroll. It was like taking a gap year from school and moving your commitment to next years class.

Scholarship would be pulled and he wouldn’t have access to the team or facilities this fall. I think that’s pretty extreme for a knee tweak.

Guys...most hyperextensions are far from serious injuries and usually heal on their own within 2-4 weeks. Like I said above, some players come back the next week and play after hyperextending their knee the week before (albeit I'm using Chad Newell for that example haha).

Don't enroll until January, financial aid starts then.

+1 on this. Plus I’m sure ANY tweak of a knee, or other injuries for that matter, and the MT coaches had instructions to shut ‘em down for the game. It probably hurt, because even relatively mild hyperextensions do hurt quite a bit immediately (from experience). Someone with legitimate ligament damage in a knee doesn’t hold a squat position like that for a photo. No wrap, no ice.

I agree. Not the best way to start my Friday.

Wish the kid a speedy recovery.

Ugh, didn't think he would play next year but not being able to participate in fall or spring practices is a real bummer.

He has a great attitude. I look forward to an excellent career from him.

Damn, that's terrible news. This is why I always hold my breath when a kid is going to the doc, you just never know.

Yes it definitely does now. Jacob Kettels is greyshirting this year for injury recovery as well.
