Is anyone familiar with Aaron's injury? I have a question

[JK64]

Having gone through several calf strains myself (all were running injuries), it really depends on severerity. There have been a couple times where I was back at it in 2-4 weeks, one time it was well over a month before I felt 100%. I'm also the same age as A-Rod. Just speaking for me personally, this can be one of those "nagging" injuries that just keeps coming back. I'm not convinced that he will be 100% in two weeks.

This is what I have been told. These injuries can be as long as 6-8 weeks to heal.

I didnt really want to fuel speculation. But Im sure he was shot up. .

I would take that bet

I don't think people quit understand what a cortisone shot does. I'm sure he got nothing but some soft tissue work and ultrasound and then compression to get back out there.

I would agree 100%

Bu let's allow some to think he HAD to take a pain shot

Rodgers' injury is another reason why it would be incredibly helpful if the Lions won on Sunday. Obviously the saying "every given Sunday" exists for a reason, but a game against the Cardinals or Panthers would likely be a lot less stressful and intense than against the Cowboys. It could help Rodgers avoid injury aggravation, and if we get up big early on the Cards or Panthers, maybe Rodgers could sit out the fourth quarter. Keep him fresh for what would likely be the NFC Championship game at Seattle.

While I don't think there's any way we lose to the Cardinals at home (because of their atrocious offense starting Ryan Lindley) their defense would make life way tougher for Rodgers than the Cowboys one.

I understand that if given a pain shot, Rodgers would have a chance of greater injury, because he wouldn't feel damage being done.

Cardinals and Panthers both rush the passer a lot better than Dallas does though. Cowboys have the worse overall pass rush of any team in the NFC Playoffs.

Pain is good. Nature's way of telling you that you have a problem.
