CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Coach Sean Payton declined comment earlier this afternoon, when asked whether Lewis was with the team for their joint practices with the Patriots or if he had even made the trip.

Payton, when asked directly about Lewis’ status, told one reporter: “I’ll keep you posted”.

Cut him and salvage as much salary as we can!

Cross your fingers for an effective pass rush in 2016.

This is the result of not playing Football for the past several months. He just needs some rest and rehab.

Wtf is a hip abductor strain? Is it serious?

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Here is the prognosis and treatment needed:

An adductor (groin) strain is a common problem among many individuals who are physically active, especially in competitive sports. The most common sports that put athletes at risk for adductor strains are football, soccer, hockey, basketball, tennis, figure skating, baseball, horseback riding, karate, and softball.[1]

Hip adductor injuries occur most commonly when there is a forced push-off (side-to-side motion). High forces occur in the adductor tendons when the athlete must shift direction suddenly in the opposite direction. As a result, the adductor muscles contract to generate opposing forces.




One common cause of adductor strain in soccer players has been attributed to forceful abduction of the thigh during an intentional adduction. This type of motion occurs when the athlete attempts to kick the ball and meets resistance from the opposing player who is trying to kick the ball in the opposite direction. To a lesser extent, jumping also can cause injury to the adductor muscles, but more commonly, it involves the hip flexors. Overstretching of the adductor muscles is a less common etiology.

The initial management of an adductor injury should include protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation (PRICE). Painful activities should be avoided. The use of crutches during the first few days may be indicated to relieve pain. Use of steroid injections is controversial in adductor strains, because the potential exists for tendon rupture if the steroid is injected into the tendon itself. Obtain consultations as appropriate to rule out differential diagnoses.[16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21]

Do not advance the athlete too quickly back to his/her sport, as the injury may become a chronic condition. Acute strains easily can become chronic strains if proper time is not allowed for healing. Chronic strains are much more difficult to manage.

In layman's terms, his muscles are sore due to not being used in football related activities. This will take rest and rehab. This is to be expected due to his injuries.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Payton did comment this wasn't a season ending injury, at the same time I hope this doesn't mean he will miss half the season or something like that. Cannot stress how important this guy is if the Saints want to improve on defense.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

It should keep him out no more than 2 to 3 weeks. He just needs work at this time.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

I'm in the minority; but I'm thinking that we'd be better off with a young corner opposite of Breaux (Williams?) Sure; there will be some growing pains but the speed and maneuverability that Keenan just doesn't have anymore will make up for it...

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

No on growing pains... we had enough growing pains on D.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

He will be fine

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Who will be fine?

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

IR to return maybe. Let's see what we've got with theses young guns. Then when the league will allow him back he's a fresh veteran to help in case some of these young guns either get injured or under perform.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Keenan has been battling injuries the last two years & more recently hip surgery. Just don't expect to see the 2014 KL if and when he returns.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

I don't think he is in the plans right now. The guy has practiced once. Hope he can get healthy, but I am just very doubtful. Usually when the injuries start mounting it is a sign the end is coming. Shame, guy has heart and was a great player for us

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

i believe payton as usual justs lets pros that had surgery and he knows will be just fine when season rolls along GET THAT NEEDED XTRA TIME, i'm not worried, YETT

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Just retire already. You can make the club if your butt is always in the tub. GET OUTTA OF THE TUB!!!!

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

That would cost more than keeping him. He can be cut next year if needs be

Injury settlement?

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Still gotta pay that guaranteed money

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

If he's injured - he cannot be released.

Therefore, there'd have to be an injury settlement in order for the two parties to part ways.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

There is no way he is agreeing to anything but getting his guaranteed money. And i dont blame him

Let's wait and see what Loomis thinks...

lame

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

But is it temporary or permanent?

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

He'd now be the odds-on favorite candidate for IR/Designated to Return if his injury is as described; hard to believe he did that in one practice upon returning; have to question his training, conditioning regimen...

Reality is we're gonna lose a cornerback this year; while Westbank has missed some time the past few seasons, we could do alot worse than having a returning, rested and recuperated Westbank to re-energize our secondary later in the season...

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

It was reported by Sean Fazende on yesterday (Fox8) that KL has a hip strain. Keep in mind he had surgery on his hip this off season. Not a good sign at the corner back position.

In limited, closely monitored action, re-injuring an area that was surgically repaired the previous year doesn't sound encouraging.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

I don't think they have to designate anymore. I think players go on IR, and teams can bring one, any one but only one, back.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Westbank has other ideas...

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

I knew it... It's all that figure skating he's been doing. He needs to cut that out.

On a serious note, I do hope he doesn't rush back. I really get annoyed when a guy misses weeks or months, and suddenly he practices for a week and he's activated. Why does anyone, be they coaches or players, think that just being on the field helps the team? Get freaking healthy! Keenan is saying all the right things about not rushing back, so I hope the coaches concur.

Re: CURTAINS FOR KEENAN? Mystery Surrounds Status of Saints CB
 

It's time to call it a day with Keenan and trade for a quality CB who isn't injured all the damn time!
