Steve Angeli: Torn Achilles

[capeorange]

I love King Crimson have seen them about 6 or 7 times a favorite band

I saw them in the early 70's at the fair grounds along with Spoky Tooth and Jo Jo Gunn.

For those who are our board doctors and surgeons. How long from surgery is the typical recovery for a player being able to fully practice again? Are there potential issues with a repair that could impair the timeline? Is the player susceptible to Achilles injury again any more so than before?

Recovery for athletes post surgery to fully practice is typically 9-12 months. Potential post surgical risks that could delay healing : Infection and nerve damage. Susceptibility to re-tearing the repaired achilles tendon is low for surgical repair: 3-5%. There is always the potential for a decrease in athletic performance post achilles injuries especially in the areas of explosive movements. The quality of the rehabilitation program is critical to the post surgical results relative to the time frame for complete return to athletic competition.

Good question, I can take this one.

He probably won't be able to resume most football like activities for some 6-9 months.

Unless he opts to get a peg leg as a treatment plan.

In that case, he'd be ready to go after the bye week.

It would be nearly impossible for him to sustain the same injury on a peg leg.

Forget the peg leg...

Thanks for the info!

I was at that show

I was at that show

We used to get a lot of great bands playing in Syracuse.

Not that this really matters right now, but this definitely throws a wrench into the future QB succession plan for the next few years. For me the way Steve was playing this season and especially against Clemson, it was his job next year for a run at the ACC title and then Carney taking over (or another transfer if for whatever reason he wasn't ready). Now things get pretty complicated if Angeli gets a medical redshirt. Would he be 100% for next year? Depending on how Rickie plays is he in the mix? Rickie getting and keeping the job for 2 additional years would almost certainly leave Carney on the outside possibly transferring. Again doesn't mean much now and a ton can change obviously, but its an interesting situation. Damnit I feel for Angeli, he was finding his groove
