Peatsy

Posted by LB on June 26, 2014 at 10:38pm

Now I maybe living in wonderland with this, but does anyone else see Peats making a return in like RD 24 or something, It has happened before. When he hurt himself he walked off the field, if it was torn he wouldn't of been walking so I don't think that he will have as long of a stint on the sideline as someone who tore an ACL. Idk why but I just feel that he will come back with like 2-3 rounds to go and then finals for him

NO, he had a reconstruction, theres no way he will be coming back this year.

When I snapped my acl I was still walking. He won't be back this year.

Hey Liam, The thing you need to understand about ACL tears is it's not so much the actual injury that will keep you off the field, it's the potential to sustain over injuries that will keep you off the field. The ACL pretty much stabilises your knee, and you can generally do light to moderate exercises, but when you're being banged around and doing explosive exercises you put your self at risk of many other injuries. He definitely will be out for the season.

  On the range of knee injuries, ACL rupture is as bad as it gets. I did mine last year, had pain for 20 seconds, then got up & walked around for the rest of the day, thinking I has just jarred or strained it. After surgery you basically have to learn to walk again, crutches for 4-6 weeks, Peats will no doubt be getting daily physio, a luxury most people including myself don't get after injury, but whilst he would likely be confidently straight Line running by aug/sept he wouldn't be able to plant his knee and step or take any impact on it.
  
  I'm 12 months post op and still can't get to my old top speed, kick a ball with the power I used to, or kneel down on my knee
