If he's 100% fine. I doubt he will be though. High 80's... low 90's... but I doubt he makes the full 100 before the end of the regular season.
AR's 1st day back will never be 100%. He didn't look great in the first half of the SF game. Get him in there earlier than later. It's happened to HoF players... rust grows quickly. Sit him for 10 months?! You kidding me?!!
As far as risking further injury.... it's a collar bone, not an ankle, foot, elbow, shoulder, neck, hand, wrist, hip... ITS HIS COLLAR BONE! They just need time to heal... but after six weeks for a 20+ athlete... OMG! The pain med's have come a loooong way since Favre's days. The number of peripheral acting drugs to mitigate localized pain has increased dramatically. Its one of the results of the opioid overdosing in this country.
The Bears will lose to the Eagles, and we can beat these bastards in a revenge game in Chicago. The Ravens have won three in a row and can beat the struggling Lions. We can't get the 5th or 6th seeds, we have to win our division... and with AR I think we can.
Grew up 35 miles NW of you, moved away ten years ago, my son's walls are full of Packers' posters, living room shows my two shares of the team that beat me up for 25yrs before winning their first w/ #4... another 44yo hardened bastard like me. Look, I respect your shoulder, my Dad checks into Bellows on Monday, but we all have one best asset, and you protect its use, not its memory or dreams of future use. Sitting him down because it hurts means the med staff doesn't know about Exparel, Autologel, Qutenza and other non-systemic approaches to pain mgt and regenerative healing strategies. Yes, all FDA approved because they're tested against placebo... no herbal crap. He's ready! There's zero excuse for not playing.
Like others... I think Quarless slipped yesterday. I'm starting to like that guy.

From what I've read... they have not. It's been about movement and ice. And ask someone in pain if masking the pain is okay. It's 6 weeks for a 28yo athlete. He's more likely to get injured elsewhere than to have the collarbone refracture. Know his medical history? It's extremely clean. Did he think he'd play fifteen years w/o breaking a bone?!
.
Results: Nineteen players sustained a middle-third clavicle fracture over the 5-year period. Six fractures were nondisplaced or minimally displaced. All 6 healed at an average time of 7.3 weeks. Thirteen fractures were 100% displaced. Six of the 13 underwent acute surgical fixation that resulted in fracture healing without complication at an average of 8.8 weeks. The remaining 7 players with a completely displaced fracture were initially treated nonoperatively. Three of these 7 healed clinically without sequela at an average of 13.3 weeks after injury; however, 4 players sustained a refracture within 1 year of the initial injury.
Conclusion: Over the past 5 years, nearly 50% of NFL players with a completely displaced middle-third clavicle fracture were treated successfully with acute surgical fixation without sequela and healed at an average of 8.8 weeks. Three of these players were able to return to play during the same season. In addition, 4 of 7 players initially treated nonoperatively for a completely displaced middle-third clavicle fracture refractured their clavicle within a 1-year period from their initial injury. The 4 players missed an average of 1.5 seasons because of their clavicle injury and subsequent clinical course. Based on this review, it may be reasonable to consider acute surgical treatment of this injury in the NFL player to enable a successful clinical outcome in a predictable time frame.
mmmm no, its actually about the pain. But if you want to talk about regenerating osteoblast activity there are a few of them out there. I don't mean risedronate and its 21 day half life, and there's a lot more out there than Autologel... some are from your own skin tissue while others are more synthetic. I hope the staff is telling him to make comments that downplay their aggressive and Quarless was right... but we did win by just 1 pt last weekend. Shows me AR's comments are right n the staff isn't "informed".
Grbac was out two months.

Elvis Grbac suffered a fractured collarbone the previous year and was originally expected to miss a minimum of a month, but didn't play a full game for two months afterward. The Grbac story has a telling quote from Dr. Lewis Rosenblatt:
"It will be six to eight weeks until the collarbone really heals good.
Sorry but you're going to have to provide a source on that if you want to be believed because you seem to be the only one to have seen such a report. BTW, pain doesn't happen without a reason aside from various nerve disorders.The word is... its healed enough, but there's pain.
Interviewing Air-Run's parents or the parents of other players who are injured would bring in a fresh and new perspective to sports writing instead of the same ol' same ol' that we are always getting from coaches etc.I just wonder if it was someone's son whether they would want him playing in what is a violent sport with a collarbone the doctors say isn't healed enough???
What I was getting at, is you can be a little more insensitive to the situation when it's not personally effecting you. Like the saying goes, Depends on whose Ox is getting gored.Interviewing Air-Run's parents or the parents of other players who are injured would bring in a fresh and new perspective to sports writing instead of the same ol' same ol' that we are always getting from coaches etc.
More like a link stating bone is healedLakedog said:My source? ...see last weeks post
