marcus lattimore's knee!!

[SmoothOperator88]

oh damn..so im guessing its not possible to dislocate your knee without tearing anything?

Yea. Knee being dislocated is the most severe knee injury you can get it looks like. Best case scenario you tore your ACL and PCL and damage to the other ligaments cartilage. Worst case scenario everything torn, severed arteries, nerve damage and the loss of a pulse below the knee.

Looks like there is some ligament damage but he wants to play again and will try to.

What does this mean?

said that there are no fractures either.

 

[PortCityProphet]

good it aint as bad as we thought

Its still a brutal injury. They still havent said which or how many ligaments he tore. I can't imagine the pain he must have been in once the shock/adrenaline wore off

 

[Rocket Scientist]

He can still redshirt. More then likely he will be back to playing football in 2014 if he rehabs on some AP type ish.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

he dislocated it, i dont think he tore anything...???

Usually a dislocation takes ligaments along with it. I'm curious to see what actually tore. I tore my meniscus twice this year, once in January on the left knee, and once in July on the right knee. fukking sucks, but is way better than ACL, PCL, LCL, and MCL.

I heard a rumor Lattimore tore all 4 of those plus the Mensicus. I truly hope that's not true, if it is, shyt...that's really hard to come back from.

Top 10 Most Gruesome Football Injuries of All Time (Videos) - Photo 4 of 10 - NESN.com

if you look at that list basically everyone was done after that sort of injury cept mcgahee

 

[dblockkilla]

^What are you talking about? The super bowl guy played six more years, the Houston receiver killed it the rest of his career, E.J. Henderson made the pro bowl the FOLLOWING season, and McGahee has obviously carved himself a very solid NFL career.

Personally, he should of never came back this season and sat out. He had NOTHING to play for this year. South Carolina was never going to win it all, he wasn't about to win the Heisman (not as a RB in the SEC on a SPURRIER coached team), and he was just adding wear and tear to his body.

That's not realistic fam

now that's true @The ADD. It's easy for me to to say what i think he should do when i'm not in his position.

 

[No Sleep]

He was going to the league after this season. Dam, his mother had left her job and went back to school. I'm a Gamecock fan I hope he just works at getting better and go to the NFL.

They should be straight, his step daddy is working. Plus, I think she had 20 somethings of 401k probably from another job.
