Dumb
Many really competitive players try and play through injuries. It's not dumb. Things like tendonitis can clear up and come back so there's no real way to know when or if it's gone completely. If it was clearly a tear or a broken bone then t would be different.
He's learning and it's a hard lesson. Going to have to play him a bit differently. Considering his effectiveness as a receiver (guy could probably just play increasingly more in the slot as he gets older), he can continue to play very well past 30 if they and CMC are smart with how he is used. Lots of vet days, take it easy in the offseason- maybe more yoga/flexibility and cardio stuff instead of the grueling stuff he puts himself through.
Running back is probably the most punishing and undervalued position in football. These guys get hit on every play so chances are they always have ache or pain.
The Achilles in my opinion is always a tricky one. Athletes that have had calf and Achilles soreness have resulted in complete tears, the biggest for SF fans during the biggest games (Greenlaw, Durant).
im guessing he already has small tears and we're all hoping those tender fibers somehow heal. Maybe he needs PRP or steroid shots, as long as they fit under the league drug policy.
These are the two types of tendinitis with the ultimate being the full rupture
- Noninsertional Achilles tendonitis. Small tears in the middle fibers of your tendon start to break it down. This causes pain and swelling. This type of tendonitis usually affects active, younger adults.
- Insertional Achilles tendonitis. This damage occurs in the spot where your tendon meets your heel bone. Bone spurs (extra bone growth) often form with this type. This type of tendonitis can happen at any age, even in people who aren't active.
RuptureThe tears in your tendon fibers can cause a complete or partial break (or tear) in your tendon. You might hear a pop that seems to come from the back of your heel or calf. This may be a tendon rupture, which needs immediate medical attention.
