Patrick Mahomes with patella (knee cap) dislocation. Can be treated without surgery and brace. Could miss just a few weeks. Could also have season ending surgery. MRI will determine which course.

- Aaron Rodgers injury appears to be either Lisfranc foot injury, ankle sprain or possibly even Achilles. Similar mechanism to JK Dobbins injury Sunday. Best case is ankle sprain. Will miss several weeks best case.
- Tua Tagovailoa injury similar to Bo Jackson injury. Hip subluxation/dislocation puts femoral head at risk of loosing blood supply and dying. Need to get hip back in place gently ASAP and remove pressure from joint.
- Tua Tagovailoa injury video reviewed. Mechanism consistent with posterior hip subluxation. Leads to labral tear. Surgery probable. Season likely over.
- Just viewed Zion Williamson’s shoe blowout & knee injury. Looked like MCL sprain. Doubt ACL was injured. Hopefully can return for NCAA Tourney.
- Concerns for Jordy Nelson are broken ribs, pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and splenic laceration with blow occurring on his left side.
- Odds of tearing ACL 1:1750. Once you have an ACL tear, odds of reinjuring repaired knee or the opposite healthy knee increase to 1:33.
- Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin with two diagnosis likely Commotio Cordis or Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Prayers aloft 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Medical crews are skilled and miracles do happen.
- Antonio Brown dodged one bullet by avoiding fracture. Now he is going to hospital to monitor leg to ensure no development of “compartment syndrome”. If that occurs, pressure in leg prevents arterial blood flow & surgery is required. That would end his season.
- JJ Watt’s injury, a tibial plateau fracture, is a more severe trauma to the joint than an ACL. Instead of a ligament tearing the bone broke.
- Kenny Pickett with left knee injury. Will not return. Isolated MCL vs ACL/MCL. If MCL alone will likely miss four weeks.
00:00 - RGIII has dislocated left ankle. These generally occur with fracture so I think he is done for year.
- Odds of tearing ACL 1:1750. Once you have an ACL tear, odds of reinjuring repaired knee or the opposite healthy knee increase to 1:33.
