Fred Taylor comes clean...doesn't look good

[mtryanks12]

So will Toefield be the starter if Taylor won't make it for the start of the season (especially since Greg Jones is now a fullback )?

They'll probably deal for Henry, but if they don't get him, then they'll try to make it with Toefield.


Anyone think that this could be a boost to Leftwich, Smith, and Williams' value?

good to hear the truth about whats been going on with him.

id say with the progress he has made i wouldnt be surprised to see him ready to play by the opener, as long as he doesnt aggrivate it in the mean time by rushing himself back.

I dont think he'll play 1 game this season....

well he's supposed to starting cutting and doing a bit more than running over the next couple of weeks, thats when we'll have a good idea whether or not he'll be back for the opener

I played football in college and had the same injury - PCL & MCL tear. It's actually a rare occurence for players to tear the PCL and happens more frequently in car accidents. I actually have yet to have either of them fixed and player 2 years in college without a PCL and with a severly torn MCL. The main thing this injury does is destabilize your knee and make it much more likely to tear your ACL. Also, Rbs have to cut a ton and I'm sure Fred wouldn't have been able to on an unstable knee. The recovery time for this type of surgery is probably a little less than ACL surgery, but I would imagine it will take him some time to recover back to where he was. Several players have played without PCLs. John Elway for example played his entire career with a torn PCL. Most players tear both the MCL and ACL, such as Willis McGahee. I would imagine you'll see a similar recovery time with Fred, but it will take time for him to get comfortable playing with the repaired knee.
