Taylor has surgery

[csmopar]

Seems minor but hopefully he’ll be back to form this fall.

Let's hope this is a start on kick starting the offense.

I hope he fully recovers bc he is a great player. Saying that, I wouldn’t be mad if they traded him for a haul similar to what the 49ers gave for CMC. JT has a lot of miles on him and most likely only has a couple elite years left before injuries take a toll.

Hopefully the ankle heals up and he will be kicking things in no time.

He said he would be good by training camp. Let’s hope for no setbacks.

Good to do it now instead of waiting a week before training camp.

Probably depends on the type of surgery.

Did you even bother to read the article? It’s just a debridement. Basically a tiny incision made into the joint to remove debris. They found no structural damage or weakness. Basically, he vacuumed out debris. Highly doubt this type of surgery will alter his game

He had ankle surgery, I have never known not 1 person come back from that and not be the same. It isn't a back, neck, knee, or an Achilles

How many people here have been saying he should be traded. When healthy he is a dominant rb. Good thing they aren’t colts gm’s! Next year when healthy he will make the entire team look better because that’s what dominant players in any sport do.

He is also going to look much better with any semblance of decent QB play, and an improved  OL. Suspect he will be in top form.

Anytime a RB has any type of ankle procedure it is worrying. Debris removal is basically a clean up and very non invasive. I had that procedure a couple of years back at UK hospital under Dr. Willis. Being 80 years old I figured my recovery time and rehab would be a nightmare. But even under a lesser doctor it was pretty cut and dry. Easy rehab. Keep in mind I'm sure Taylor is seeing better surgeons than I was and I'm not in peak physical health.

 

People are all gloom and doom here lately. We have a high pick and a new vision at HC. Taylor will be fine.

As some have said the procedure is a pretty simple one and even a knee (meniscus debridement) isn;t that bad.

I'm not a NFL running back but this past Dec 2nd, I suffered a ,Oblique minimally displaced distal fibular fracture., (fracture of the fibula at the ankle).  I was 1 week in a splint, 1 week in a walking boot, then a week in a brace. Its still a lil tender and I advised the cut back of my pain meds. 

 

Unless JT gets an infection or something I think he won't have to worry about much but doing his normal work with his body.

Best rb in the league bar none, get it done now and more then ready for camp. Even though rbs arent as featured as in the past the special ones elevate a team and JT is beyond special....hoping he is here a long long time....

[Rhodelesstraveled]

Never good when a RB has surgery on a joint in his leg.

They said same thing about shaq it was just and ankle

Heal up JT!  Next year I want to see him catching more passes.  Get him into space.
