Kenyan Drake Appreciation Thread

I wonder how he is doing mentally as well as physically. Has he had any recent tweets?

Did not see it but also never seen anyone walk in a boot that looked good. Even yeldon wearing a boot two weeks ago.

He wasn't in a boot in the video I saw. He was very, very gingerly walking on that leg. We will see though. I would love for you to be right.

I am fairly sure the dislocation and possible torn ligaments/tendons are more of a concern healing than the bone. 12 weeks is plenty long enough after most any clean breaks to be healed and back to functioning normally. Hopefully KD will recover 100% regardless of the time.

Aside from the injury itself, the lack of practice and preparation will also hamper his ability to see the playing field again this year.

Yes, I saw the video. He's long way from playing this year. If my timing is right, he will be jogging lightly and doing some rehab by first week of December. Play off are end of the month. This is the time where players usually are reintorduced to fundamental skills.. so I wouldn't be suprised to see him practicing in black jersey but not doing any physical contacts... Now, there's always chance for him to play in championship game.. but unlikely.

The way he was walking, I don't think so.

Unless he is ABSOLUTELY 100% then I would rather he not play. I know if he is 80% he will likely be chomping at the bit to get on the field, but he is like 20 and I hope CNS decides to do what is best for KDs health even when KD cannot see it. I would hate to see this truly AMAZING talent be wasted because he played through injury. I think that if he stays healthy he will make 1 NFL team exyremely happy one day and 32 of them hat him.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

My timeline remains the same but I don't think he'll play at all... unless he's in uniform with others during the holidays....

Ive been wondering if Drake could play or not. I bet if there is ANY chance he CAN play, he will.

 

[TrampLineman]

Yep we have showed we can win without him (even though he is truly missed), I would rather see him sit the bench and heal. No sense in trying to rush anything.
