Teddy's injury sounded horrible... heard teammates that witness it threw up afterwards...
49ers play tonight...taking the chargers down

Yeah, I heard it was a noncontact injury too. Makes me wonder if his career might be effectively over. Too bad, they were putting a good team together up in those purple mountains.
Supposedly he shredded his ACL and fully dislocated his knee.
Google "tibiofemoral dislocation" if you want to, but you'll see legs pointing the wrong way.
How the hell he did THAT with no contact, I have no idea.
Will Carroll (somewhat well known injury dude) said that Teddy could have been in danger of losing his leg below the knee if they hadn't had immediate medical attention, because that sort of dislocation can fuck with bloodflow to the lower leg.

yeah... pretty crazy. It would be great if he can come back from that... but how does someone even do that... his first drop back will probably be the most nervous...
are knees like shoulders? Once you dislocate them they are prone to more injury?

I dunno. Garrison Hearst had an injury that looked like his entire foot was wrung out like a wash cloth. Sat two years after rebuild and for rehab. Came back and put up very good numbers on returning. He faded quickly after that first year back but he was 28 when he got injured and 30 when he returned. I think he may have come back just to prove that it was possible.
So it is possible to recover and be productive after an injury like that but not probable. The reconstruction and rehab are probably mountains most folks (including NFL players) don't want to climb.

Yes, this guy will be lucky if he ever walks right again based on the descriptions of the injury that I heard. Sounds like essentially his whole leg was torn off at the knee with only unbroken skin on the outside holding it on like a flopping bag of blood and meat. He is a young guy, and the NFL has access to some really bleeding edge Bone and Tissue technology. You never know, but I would be surprised if he ever became again the promising young athlete he was before that day. This type of injury as a non-contact wound implies to me a genetic defect in his joints. Damn shame, he seemed like a real deal guy. Hope his contract had a lot of guaranteed money in it.
Yeah this injury sounds worse than what AP got and I think AP has good joints and just bad luck when he got hurt. I suspect TB will not be so lucky. Damn shame.

If I found this stuff in the dumpster, I would be selling it to ElDirty for his team to destroy Washington further.

Good strategy, hire people to Dumpster Dive at the hotels where teams hold camp. After players get a visit from The Turk...dive dive dive.

Spiral fracture of the bone...nasty stuff.
From what I recall it was more than one. And his comeback was hampered by complications from lack of good blood flow to the area.

that's funny. I work for a place that literally has people chaperoning their offsite events at hotels for just this reason.
Why? Gabbert is simply not anywhere near as good as dual-threat Kaepernick.
In the NFL, the only time you lose your job due to injury is when your replacement performs better. That has NOT happened here. No fan of the NFL can watch Gabbert play and say with a straight face he's better than Kaepernick. It's a laughable comparison, Kaep is better.
