how anyone can even take you halfway serious is beyond me...
It's kind of rare to have that in both legs. Too much over use. Which points to Shanahan.
maybe, probably workout injury, but maybe....
The only thing that makes me think maybe is the off-season payday.....
He would keep his injury status as quiet as possible if he was trying to secure a new payday.
If the dude was that beat up during last season, one would think he would be seeing all these specialist in the off season to get himself right for regular season....only reason to not do that is A. he hurt himself working out during the offseason, or B. He did not want his injury status to be known until after he got his new contract.
It's not an injury.
Insert whatever word you want....
To me it is any injury...If actions, not nature caused it, I think of it as an injury, not an illnesses.
So forgive my narrow approach to the world..
The word itself defines that it is an inflammation. If it was an injury it would be treated differently. When you get inflammation it can be caused by an injury but he has it in both legs. That's not an injury. It's a condition that could be the result of several things. Overwork could be one of them but it could very well be genetic. Some people are prone to inflammatory conditions. It could be an illness that they haven't diagnosed yet. Arthritis can cause it. Whatever it is he's going to try and play this year. His time may be limited or he may end up shutting it down and waiting until next year. That's the problem with this type of thing. It's not like recovering from surgery where they have a clear timeline.
I got yah amigo,
When the NFL list people as Injured Reserve and whatnot , I am sure it just propagates out from there, and then the media picks it up and next thing you know every one is calling it an injury.
For the record, I have had it in my elbow since HS, it has never gone away....it flares up sometimes and I can feel it when I get the flu or a cold as a body ache, but it was not life ending. Still did Boxing in my 20s, Judo/MMA in my 30s and 40s. It is kinda crazy what triggers it. Throwing around 200 pound men...nope....well sometimes....but mostly nope...had it fire off for weeks on end carrying around a 10 pound baby... It is just strange what sets it off. I made a post about it 20 years with the Doctor telling me it was degenerative....that never materialized ...have not thought about it in several years and I am in my 50s now...but I am not CMC, or ever that level of athlete, and I am sure elbows are wayyyy different then ankles, if for no other reason the weight they have to bare.
