Re: RUMOR - Torn Rotator Cuff

I had a torn rotater cuff and labrum 7 years ago and it still hurts like hell if IG lift something wrong. Granted I didnt have the access to the kind of medical staff he does, but its no joke. I have said for years that Payton has leaned way to heavily on the pass for Drew to be able to play into his late 30s. A running game would have gone a long way extending his career.

It's not the case. Thanks to the dam media. Reporting and giving out the wrong info.

You can't... been laughing about that one a lot today. It's either torn or strained. My bet is a small tear that is just limiting and painful enough to put Brees out for 6-8 games, possibly the season.

You have just confirmed that you have no clue what you are talking about. Who's laughing now?

The rotator cuff is simply a cluster of four muscles and their tendons. A tear would usually occur in the tendon. Although, the muscles themselves can bruise like any other muscle. If you can ever been punched in the very upper shoulder you may have experienced a bruised rotator cuff and never knew it.

Re: RUMOR - Torn Rotator Cuff

It reportedly happened towards the end of last season too. If he couldnt heal from that during an entire offseason then it doesnt look good for him healing in time to play again.

I suspected he didn't start or play much in the preseason for a reason. But still we won't know anything for another 48 hours due to treatments he's getting - probably cortisone shot or something.

My guess is we are waiting 48 hours for the swelling to go down so they can get a better look and see if there's not a more serious injury hidden there.
