Official: DMac has Sports Hernia

[PhillyGirl]

He can't make it worse by playing with it, what is your point?

[methdeez]

I don't know what his point is, but I know this.
This season is going to be long, painful and probably dissapointing for both D-mac and Eagles fans.
Hello '06 and lets start talking draft picks.

I know that but because he isn't  as mobile he's setting him up for another possible injury.

Notice, I said he's "setting himself up for a possible injury if he plays now because guys are just going to try teeing off on him knowing he isn't his usual self back there."  I didn't say anything about it getting worse.

didnt they say the same thing about akers?

i had a sports hernia a bunch of years ago. and you can make it worse by playing on it. no matter what lines the trainers try and tell you, if you sustain an injury due to physical activity, you absolutely can make it worse continuing the physical activity.

have you ever gone to the dentist, and were found to have needed a crown, or a filling? did the dentist tell you "but if you want, you can wait a few months, here's a snickers bar for the ride home."

or

have you ever been injured, and the doctor tells you "we can fix it, but in the mean time, you can keep on doing whatever you did when you injured yourself?"

you actually beleive that crap about "he cant make it worse by playing with it?" if that were true, he wouldnt have GOTTEN THE INJURY. it's pretty simple.

If he isn't 100% then none of the upcoming games are locks.

the taterskins are a lock even if Thornburgh plays QB.  ha.

You're kidding right? Akers first of all, injured another part of his leg from overcompensating for the already weakened part. And with a pulled hammy, there is always the possibility of TEARING it by continuing to use it.

Look back at when Duce played almost the entire year with his hernia. He played in every game, ran for over 1000 yards and had 57 receptions for almost 500 yards. He didn't make it worse.

You can make it more PAINFUL by playing with it, but you can't make the INJURY worse.

McNabb at 50% is still better than any QB in the NFC East.

Just sayin'

Hmm...I like they way you think.  JT playing two ways even...Tim Hauck would approve.

right, so had akers not played on sunday, he would not have torn it.

therefore, he made it worse by playing.

A sports hernia is an injury of the inguinal area caused by repetitive twisting and turning at high speed. This type of hernia occurs mainly in people who play ice hockey, soccer, and tennis.

so, mcnabb will do no repetitive twisting or turning for the rest of the season? and it most definetly will not be at any kind of high speed? right?

do not think for a second that it can not get worse. taking a hit will only result in pain, but he could very easily make it worse.

you can make it worse...the hole in the ab wall can become larger...and thats when guts and ish can start popping thru

Yes but Duce's touch passes were horrible during that stretch.
