Dislocated arm.

[Dolomight12]

I initially thought it was a leg injury but appears like a dislocation of a shoulder/elbow. He was having an effective game avoiding the pressure up to this point ( ignoring the score), not sure he really should have been in and running at this point in the game but that’s heinsight talking

That's a new one

Really nice cool young kid so I feel horrible for him.

Hes out for this year and likely most of next...brutal injury....maybe some RG3 injury vibes...

Just a typo dude

No. Maybe this year, but I'd bet fine next year. I know someone close to me that had one.

Like pmedic said if tendons and ligaments tore it could be a whole lot worse

 

[BigBill1945]

that is a catastrophic injury. Lots of surgery possible. Dislocations can often affect circulation as well as ligamentous and boney structures

OK. I'm still stealing it

I'm not in the overreaction camp on this one. Modern medicine and rehab are awesome now, especially when you have the best.

Don't understand why people think an injury to a non-throwing arm is career threatening.

There is a very good chance he will be back this season. Mean time to return to play for those requiring surgery is 6-7 weeks. Less for those who do not require surgery.

If it was his throwing arm, different story

JJ Watt came back after a similar dislocation, suffered in training camp, to open the season, 6 weeks later. He led the league in sacks for the season, and was the DPOY.

It looked exactly like the one I saw up close and personal (I coach middle school).

It was our QBs throwing arm. Happened 6 weeks ago.

He (that QB) invited my son (RB) to an off-season workout earlier today…so he could throw and they could work routes.

I was shocked…the kids elbow joints were poking through his skin on the inside…like, the forearm side (or whatever the medical terms are).

No breaks…no chips…no tendon damage.

Sounds crazy but Daniels could be back a lot sooner than what that injury looked like.

Edit - repeating myself. My bad. Multiple threads on this

This is the most common for elbow dislocations. The big problem comes if there are ligament or nerve tears on the throwing arm (Purdy for example).

Omg

I was saying this during the 3rd quarter. WTF! You lost the game, don't lose the future.

Do you have other posts here on coaching youth football? One of my favorite topics fr

Ugh. Doesn't get any more palatable on repeat viewing.

Daniels won’t last long unless he takes lessons from Geno on how to chicken out

 

[GemCity]

I’m not knocking Daniel’s but, there’s something to be learned here…especially as a QB that scrambles as much as him.

It’s a natural reaction to try and brace your fall. But, ball carriers have to ‘fall’ as balled up as they can….anticipating contact…securing the ball with both hands…and landing on their side.

It’s not intuitive. You see it at all levels.

Our coaching staff would see a kid make a great play…and parents would be wondering why we’d be tearing their kid apart after such a great play. 9/10 it was because they were trying to brace their fall with one arm extended out.

Sounds crazy but when you see a kid take a knee to the elbow and push it the other way, it scars you a bit.
