Confirmed, per source, Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill had a posterior SC (sternoclavicular) dislocation which was successfully reduced in the hospital. No surgery required. He will stay overnight.

I say they give him 4 weeks to recover and 1 week to get back in game shape and back in the fold and he's back by week 7. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see him back week 6 because of how well he takes care of his body and how little it would take for him to get in game shape. [Reply]
Was listening to a doctor talk about this yesterday on ESPN and they stated only 3% of all collarbone injuries fall into this category. The whole Amendola injury situation led to training of all NFL medical teams so that local hospitals would have a response for this particular situation including a trauma surgeon being on call.

Even Rapsheet floated the idea this morning that it could be longer than six weeks.
I don't understand why you are having trouble grasping the fact that this is a variable length injury. No one knows. He's week to week, and he'll play when he can play. Any other number is just guesswork. [Reply]

Because he's already committed to the idea of 6+ weeks which will allow him to claim being right and being right and trolling is all he cares about. [Reply]

It would not make me right. It would make my source accurate. And I would like to trust him so I can use him in the future to bring you more rumors. Because rumors are fun! [Reply]

This does not vindicate you, you realize. "Damaging the aortic arch" does not mean the same thing as "cutting off blood supply to the aorta"
A very traumatic dislocation could tear through a lot of mediastinal structures, including the aortic arch, leading to devastating bleeding, morbidity, etc.
You don't understand, and I can't help you understand.
If you had said "nearly severing the aorta" or "nearly damaging the aorta" you would be right, but you didn't. [Reply]
