I'm trying to come up with a sarcastic comeback by citing an example of a guy with a big injury history who turned it around....I can't think of one.

Brett Favre.

Here is better summary from CBS NFL Draft Scout:

Neal rehabbed after knee surgery during his redshirt season and missed five games with a turf toe injury in 2006. In 2007 he began to make his presence felt by making 3.5 tackles for loss and two sacks as reserve in 13 games. When finally receiving the chance to start the past two seasons, he accumulated 68 tackles, 21.5 for loss and 11 sacks.

Neal's injury history prompted coach Joe Tiller to call Neal "a tease" during spring 2008 practices, but Neal's toughness won't be questioned by scouts, as the former top Indiana high school recruit played through a torn labrum the last three games of 2007 and fought constant double-teams as a senior. His inconsistent motor and use of his brute strength to disengage from blocks won't impress scouts, but his general athleticism will earn him a spot somewhere in the middle third of the draft.

Brett Favre.

who's that?

[Fritz]

I don't know, but I bet you remember Mike Flanagan, who came back from a couple injuries to become a very solid starting center for the Packers. In fact, at one point Ron Wolf traded him to Carolina because Wolf was frustrated that Flanagan could not stay on the field (knee surgery, I think) - but Flanagan flunked the physical, was returned to the Packers, and ended up being a solid player for GB.

With swelling, my guess is meniscus. But I only play a doctor on the internet and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

if it were anything else he would be out for season

I'm surprised at that figure, because he did have significant injuries in college.

EDIT: I see now that is the same quote PBMAX made earlier. That's ok, nobody reads PBMAX's posts, as I just demonstrated.

Flanagan broke both bones in his lower leg and had extensive nerve and muscle damage. He had to have multiple surgeries over a prolonged period to correct all of the problems. He was on IR one year and PUP and IR the next. For three seasons after that, he was a backup. In his 6th season he became the starter.

Flanagan had one injury that kept him out a long time. Unfortunately, Harrell and Neal seem to have different types of injuries one after another. Theirs are strings of multiple injuries.

But it is an example of the type Red was seeking, no?

The Eagles' Cullen Jenkins sacks St. Louis Rams' backup quarterback A.J. Feeley during the fourth quarter in yesterday's game.

With defensive-line coach Jim Washburn regularly rotating his eight defensive linemen, the Eagles wore down the Rams' offensive line and put consistent pressure on Bradford.
"Awesome. Unbelievable. It's unbelievable," defensive end Darryl Tapp, who had one of his unit's five sacks and a forced fumble, said of the four-at-a-time line rotation. "Midway through the first quarter, I was realizing their offensive line was already getting winded. They're out there the whole time, and we got out there for four plays and then the next group comes in."

"We gave up a lot of long drives early on," said defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins. "Being able to stay fresh was big. The rotation really helps."

"We're not hoping to get to the quarterback," said Jenkins, "we're expecting to. There's still some things we need to work on against the run. But it was a pretty good start against the pass."
Jenkins gave the Eagles something they didn't get a lot of last season, an inside push that prevented Bradford from being able to step up in the pocket and avoid pressure from the edge rushers.

"The guys inside, they were pushing that pocket back," said defensive end Jason Babin, who had two of the Eagles' five sacks. "When a quarterback can't step up, it's hard to throw. And when they can't move up, we're coming from the outside with our ears pinned back."
