That sucks! Dang it. Why does it seem every time we play Ole Miss we have this type of injury that sidelines someone for the year.

Is that not something you can play through and fix after the season? Not Q our medical staff, just thought I remember players playing through that injury.
I think for his position, it would severely limit what he needs to do (i.e. lift his hands over his head to catch a pass). Because we the way these guys are spraying it all over the field...
Yeah, this isn't something you work with. You could see he had trouble walking off the field, all sure to pain. Natural motion of arm swinging is miserable. Imagine at sprint motion. I'd be vomiting after ever run

Man that sucks! I hate it for Foster. He had worked himself into nice receiver, probably our best at this point.
It's hard to catch a ball when your arm won't go above 90 degrees. Watching him come off the field it looked like he'd have trouble getting it above 45-60 degrees. Playing him would not help him or the team.
Actually, it depends on the severity of the tear. Nevertheless, on the short term, the pain would make it impossible. I don't have one on the right. I paddled the Grand Canyon, duct-taping my arm to my belly at night to sleep and paddling through the pain until the Adrenalin in the rapids kicked in the next AM. They didn't even know it was missing until they went in to repair it. However, over many years, I'd trained my deltoid to do the work of the cuff, while thinking I was rehabbing the cuff. This is not a course I'd recommend for a future NFL star. He needs - and will probably receive - quick surgery...
I just recently (a few months back) had surgery on a severe torn rotator and torn SLAP (Labrum). I dealt with the pain for awhile before the surgery...I am in the Army, so had to carry heavy stuff while in gear, push ups all the time etc. It hurt but I worked thru it for a long time. Coached my sons football team and threw passes all practice and could get in about 30 throws until it really bothered me (afterwards suck), but I didnt take hits on it. but it hurts and I feel sorry for him. The rehab for surgery is long....
Actually, I'll take a cuff tear over a labrum any day. I can function without the cuff, except the teres minor in the back because my labrum is intact. Also, my massage therapist has told me that I have successfully remodeled the TM, normally just a noodle, into a more robust muscle...
I went about almost a week before I went to the doctor for my torn rotator. The pain was unbelievable. I couldn't lift my arm at all. I still have pain to this day.
This sucks for him and the team, but unfortunately injuries are inevitable. I hope he recovers soon and that the other receivers (there are plenty) can step up.
Man, I hate to hear that for Foster. I look forward to watching him next season. It sounds like a perfect opportunity for Chis Black to step in and get some work. It's a good thing that Mulaney is emerging as a pretty solid possession receiver as well.
