The swelling of his knee is directly related to the trauma that was inflicted upon it -- both the injury itself and the surgery. Nobody knows (not even the doctors) if his swelling will be a longterm issue. It's more than just a matter of too much too soon. It's a matter of how his body responds to localized trauma.

Agreed also its worrisome because he has to get shots as well. They just really minimize the pain , they dont necessarily speed up recovery or do they ??

In the long run PRP can do both. But it is not guaranteed.

One of the most common uses for PRP is to treat osteoarthritis of the knee, and less commonly of the shoulder and hip. This post goes into more detail about PRP injections for knee arthritis. PRP will not reverse or cure the arthritis. The main goal of the PRP is to decrease the inflammation within the joint. We have used this successfully in combination with other procedures such as an embolization for people looking to delay a knee replacement.

Supposed to help muscles/tendons heal I believe... in addition to replacing heavier anti inflammatory's

This reminds me a lot of Marcus lattimore. Seemed to have the same problems and couldn't ever come back. I hope I'm wrong but it's seemingly becoming the same issues. Maybe best interest to cut him after this year if he can't play and free up some cap room.

Doesn't compare to lattimore at all.... dude was closer to having his leg amputated than playing football again
