so is he gonna be back? I mean back healthy? Didn’t mean transferring. I always thoughts Riley’s comments about tre’s knees were so weird
Tre Bryant
- Thread starter NebChicago
- Start date
It means his knees have a lot of miles on them and/or can't take much more abuse.
If he's truly afflicted with "old man knees," it really doesn't make sense that we ran him into the ground with 31 carries in the first game. Good grief.
Well we were 1-0 when Tre Bryant has more than 30 carries and 3-8 when he doesn’t.. lol
IF Riley's words were accurate Tre probably had multiple injuries to his knees or untreated cartilage damage that has led to degenerative arthritis. You don't have to be old to have old looking joints.
I don't know it as fact, just sharing what the hot word has been. Could be 100% wrong, so maybe we'll found out this spring or fall?
Wasn't holding you to that diagnosis. The 31 carries looked bad enough in hindsight when his season ended in week 2. Running him that much looks even worse if there were pre-existing concerns about his knees.
Here's hoping Tre has the opportunity to prove otherwise.
Hopefully Riley just chose poor words when he described his knees that way. Hopefully a clean up via a scope and some time off puts him back on track. It's amazing how painful old fibrin and scar tissue can be in a joint. I had an 80% tear of my ACL with positive drawer sign that had to have occurred years earlier and the orthopod suggested we just clean up the fibrin and cartilage and see how I did. No problems with high impact activities for the 20 years since on that knee.
yeah it was Riley in his weekly press conference I think.
Have heard the same thing from people who would have direct knowledge. He's likely toast.
This is how I took it too dingle. Saying he has "old man knees" directly implies a kind of degenerative and irreversible condition. Probably had lots of inflammation in there that led to damage to the joint. They probably went in there and cleaned up a lot of stuff, but I doubt he will ever be the same. Hope I am wrong.
It could be that Riley's comments were just not very careful and that Bryant's condition has been significantly cleaned up now.
Sophomore year? That's not good. The good news is that he can take a medical and get his degree if he can't come back.
Other sports can do the same thing. 30 years of basketball took out a hip for me. Now it's arthritis in my toes, ankles, knees and the other hip. Football did a number on a couple of discs in my neck. Back in the day they just rubbed some dirt on it and gave you one of those foam collars that made you look tough.
It's fun to try to turn my head now.Yes he did. My immediate reaction was he'll never be back. More than just an injury. Quality of life is worth something
Rumor has it he only went to one class during this fall semester, so he had no intentions of coming back anyway.
