Team ACL

[Joemailman]

I think I read Watson had a knee surgery too. Now he is officially "packer people"

He missed 3 games last year with a hamstring injury. He was "Packer people" before he was a Packer.

Now that it turns out Bakhtiari had another procedure done on his knee, I'm more optimistic. It makes his appearance on the PUP list more understandable and less ominous.

It feels like 50/50. But I still think hes gonna give it a go. He said his ACL is fine now, its other things. I dont know if they went in and did a clean up of cartilage or what?? If thats the case and hes got some issues with cartilage, then he can grind through the pain like Favre did on the ankle and Butkus did for the back end of his career on his knees.

Well see how it shakes out. If it comes down to pain, I think hell play through it.

The problem with ACL's is that it is actually never the ACL that is the recovery issue. It is almost always the soft tissue damage done to the cartilage in the knee and/or scar tissue buildup that prevents the knee from functioning properly.
