[News] Reports: Breshad Perriman Doesn't Have Torn ACL, Will Be Fine For 2016 Season

Nice to hear.

But I think the "WILL BE FINE FOR 2016 SEASON" is a bit premature at this point... though we all hope it proves to be true.

For everyone wondering what is going on, please go to the rosterwatch link I posted before that cites three or four well known nfl doctors who have commented on the situation. It really is an outstanding piece and discusses mri results why things played out the way they did, why teams say suspected tear even if they know it is a total tear. It will clear things up for you. I think the best possible result was obtained here. I think the best course of action now is to keep praying, keep supporting Breshad, and move forward with cautious optimism.

Non story.

Cautiously optimistic to say the least. The Ravens will play it real safe with him.

glad he does not have a torn acl but i cannot trust this guy. we should trade him to the browns or rams for (3) 1st rd. picks plus a 2nd

 

I know your trolling but il play along....

"but Ozzie should only trade him if the Rams agree to throw in Gurley along with the 3 1st round picks"

Who are the developing youngsters you are referring to? I must have missed them last year.

Jeremy Butler balled out when targeted and when he was on the field. Reynolds looks promising in the slot. Chris Moore looks like a serious deep threat. Go watch his highlights on youtube. 26 TDs in college.

Problem is this…. You have a guy who apparently injured his leg to the extent that Ravens training staff saw so much play in his knee that they thought he had at least a partial tear of the ACL. Now after all the knee issues he suffered from last year, to have that much play in the knee it caused them to send him to Dr Andrews to only be told there is not a tear, then where did all that play in his knee come from? And with that play is it just a matter of time before something else blows up? Granted, everyone is gun shy because of last year, but I don’t understand how we went from having swelling and so much play in his knee that it causes a panic and then we find out nothing is wrong. Something is wrong alright and is it with the Ravens training staff who clearly don’t have a clue on how to diagnose knee issues. This is the same training staff that said after last years injury he would only miss a week or two. Now this same staff says Perriman has a blown ACL and is done for the year and Dr Andrews says nothing is wrong. Time for the Ravens to fire their doctors and get someone in there who knows something about professional football injuries. Clearly these docs don’t know their backside from a hole in the ground.

I am very happy to read that they are now reporting he can play in 2016, but I am with you....something does not seem right here and I am still very concerned.

Toughest part for Perriman going forward will be mental, not physical. Athletes like former UFC champ Tito Ortiz, former No. 1 contender Jon Fitch have had partial ACL tears, healed in six weeks or so and returned to form. UFC fighter Heather Jo Clark twice fought with a complete tear of her ACL -- winning once and staying competitive in the other. Biggest challenge for Perriman, especially since he missed all of last year, will be trusting completely in the knee and not holding back on the field. If I were him, I'd be doing yoga five times a week and start my warm-ups at least an hour before practice.
