This is probally something he is going to have to deal with and manage his entire career. Right now it seems like more of an annoyance than a serious injury that could sideline him for a long time. But eventually it will become pretty bad and will probally shorten his career. But hopefully we can atleast get his best years out of his rookie deal. But I would be very hesitant to give him a 2nd contract because this doesn't seem like the type of injury you can fix with surgery. It's just something he is going to have to play through and when it flares up may have to miss some practices and a game here and there.
Like Dee Ford. This is a bit disheartening but hopefully it's just an overreaction by us. I do remember his knees being a concern though.
I believe there were reports that Ford had tendinosis not tendinitis....there's a difference. Tendinosis is a chronic/degeneration of a tendon, which can take months (or longer) to heal, it may require surgery as well...Tendinitis is inflammation (which Kin had) on the tendons, which goes away in a couple of days for acute cases and 4-6 weeks in reoccurring cases. Just needs rest and he's good to go.
Big cat is just fine, he will just have to get a good recovery process after games/workouts...much like most elite athletes.
