He's been a broke-dick his entire career.
This is when we really need him, he needs to be on the fucking field. [Reply]

At best he is sandbagging, holding himself out to get at whatever he considers 100% so he can have a big game in the biggest moment
And if its not that, then he's just a straight up walking talking injury waiting to happen who we need to move on from... either way its time to cast an eye towards his replacement
I think he's just an injury prone guy. Some guys are like that. Just either getting injured or rehabbing and injury. I don't think he's missing a playoff game by choice lol. [Reply]

Have to agree. When he became a Chief, I was really hoping that he would turn a corner health-wise. And after last season when he missed just 3 games, I was pretty hopeful about this season. But it seems he's just one of those guys that can't stay healthy. His legs are just not able to put up with the NFL grind. It sucks, but it's not unusual. [Reply]

Yeah, we know what we've got, pretty unfortunate hes not available when we want him most. Personally, I don't think he should take up a roster slot if you can't rely on him to survive a dink to the leg and not have to rehab it for 4 weeks, but that's just me. [Reply]

It depends. In the last three years I popped the same tendon in both my calves. The left one was a lot more serious than the right one, and it took 4 months to heal. Of course, I was never an elite athlete, and I was 48 years old when the first one happened, not 26 and a world-class athlete. But my rehab guy told me that it was normal for even young athletes to take up to 6 weeks to heal from the exact same injury to that skinny muscle that runs between the two larger ones in your calf.
The right one took 4-5 weeks as I recall, because I obviously didn't tear it nearly as much, and I was 51. If Sammy popped the same muscle (not saying that's what happened), in about the same way I did my right one, it could still take 4+ weeks to recover. Thing is, when you pop that muscle, you can't push off at all. So forget running, jumping, or even changing direction. It feels like someone stuck you in the calf with a red-hot needle, about 4 inches deep.
But again, we don't know which of the three muscles in his calf he strained/injured, so it's kind of moot. [Reply]
