Like Guido pointed out earlier they were unrelated injuries that got him last year. He came back playing hard and didn't reinjure himself. Instead, he hurt himself with a new injury. And that is somewhat disconcerting because he's older now and it's quite possible that he develops another nagging injury when he returns from rehab. He was rushed back too quickly after his initial diagnoses years ago and his likely HOF career was derailed by injury. Which, is why he didn't want to talk to the medical staff last year.

Delvin Breaux was the player I was referring to that had been misdiagnosed and sued the team. He had a promising career and I feel like the Saints medical staff cost him his NFL career. Why do players go on IR after four weeks of rehabbing an injury? There were several bad calls last year alone on whether to place a player on IR or rehab him. There have been countless numbers of times that the medical staff has underperformed throughout recent history. Most recently, I think about Winston's back and the troubles with diagnosing whether he was healthy enough or not to play.

I used to sell medical equipment to Ochsner. They are absolutely filthy! It's no wonder Mercer runs rampant through their facility. Saints players miss way too much time each year due to injury. I'm sure it's the medical staffs fault somehow. Honestly, I don't think MT has faith in the medical staff either.
