In most cases, with proper care, therapy, and limitation of activity, pain can disappear in as little as a month, even two-weeks. I don't doubt the Packers' physicians and physical therapy staff are working on him regularly to get this problem into the rear-view mirror.We still have to remember that this is more than likely a chronic condition and will come up now and again and require treatment. It does go a long way towards explaining how the contract was written. It's possible that in 3-years a chronic condition like this can start to limit his ability to do his job. It also might tell us a lot as to how he was looking for protection beyond what he considers the period of time he's going to play the game at a high level of efficiency.Was he worth the risk? I think so. I think they already included how they were going to handle pain and play management before the trade happened. I think it tells us that Van Ness is going to be a huge part of the defense as well, even if some people believe he's going to be Parsons' caddy.</blockquote>
