The bears cant force Urlacher to have surgery

This should of happened in the spring someone on Bears dropped the ball.

It's common for people to suffer inflammation flareups months after a serious joint injury. Urlacher obviously felt okay when he was staying off it, but once he started practicing the joint started swelling up on him, causing pain and discomfort. Hence the need for the surgery.

 

Hopefully they'll monitor the swelling now and he'll be ready to go in 3-4 weeks time. I think we can get by okay for the first handful of games without him, if our offense is even half as good as advertised.

They'll be 2-2 if they're lucky without Urlacher.

He's important but I doubt he's THAT important. If the pass rush and offense shows up, we can be okay. Other guys have to step up.

That knee injury looked horrible when it happened and we were told it wasnt. Now its lingering into the season. Hmm. NIce work Bears.

Indy and St. Louis at Soldier Field? I'd say 2-2 should happen even without #54.

And does this surprise even a bit?

Kind of like when no one even knew Cutler was injured during the game last season, and all of a sudden he is our for the year...

And does this surprise even a bit?

The Bears are one of the worst run franchises in sports. This is just a tiny part of it.

Yeah. Just think, when Wirtz the Elder was still alive, we quite possibly had two of the worst-run franchises in the world.

The bad sign is not the surgery itself. The really bad sign is that he tried to practice with a knee brace and could not. The only reason to wear a knee brace after MCL/PCL injuries is instability. If he felt his knee was unstable and the brace did not help, he could be in trouble. Unlike the ACL there is no good surgery to replace the PCL. It is in the back of the knee and they cannot develop a good surgery. This could be a recurring problem.

ptatc, couldnt you just lie for once or something

Well, that explains both of my knees.

ESPN spent the day celebrating Tim Tebows birthday. So, yeah, that happened

lol, didn't they just spend a day celebrating Mike Trouts birthday too?

Herm Edwards & Marcellus Wiley donned party hats & got him presents. Wow.

Cris Carter wasn't too fond of it, however, calling him a back-up QB and only on SC do they celebrate back-up QB's birthdays.

Holy f***, ESPN needs to just go away, only have programming on when their is a sporting event.

Its literally the most pathetic thing Ive ever seen. He's a backup QB who will be out of the league in a few years. WTF. They never did this for Tim Couch.

Tim Couch didn't look nearly as dreamy shirtless.

Arthroscopic surgery on Brian Urlacher's left knee has not deterred the Bears from pursuing their goal of the middle linebacker starting the regular-season opener Sept. 9.

 

Urlacher underwent a debridement procedure Tuesday, 26 days before the opener, to relieve pain and swelling in the knee he injured in the final game last season. The decision was made after his knee did not respond sufficiently with more than two weeks of rest since his last practice July 31.

Debridement is a cleaning procedure. With Urlacher tearing his meniscus there can be floating fragements that create inflammation with movement. Recovery time is minimal because there is minimal cutting and no structural change. I would imagine that we will see him a little in game one and increase reps in games after that with him full time by game three.

Will now await Pt telling me what's wrong with that description.

I wear a knee brace after my MCL injury. And its 100% so I dont hyperextend it because it hurts like a motherf***er when that happens.

Let's hope that's all it was. If that is it he will be ready and shouldn't have any further problems.
