Zack Martin leaves Dal/Cin game with knee injury

BlackLight : 8/18/2018 9:14 pm
Took a helmet to the knee from a Cinci player. Limped off the field to the medical tent, then limped back to the lockerroom.
Hope

it's not serious. As in I hope he can play again on Sept. 17th.
I hate

Preseason. Even though I hate the Cowboys it sucks to see guys get hurt, especially in a meaningless game.
Helmut to the knee sounds like it's less likely a tear

and more likely a bruise.
Helmut to the knee?  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/18/2018 10:04 pm : link
Is that another BBI inside German joke?

Anyway, I won't pretend that I would be sad to see Zack Martin miss a few games.

I forget who it was, but years ago, I'm almost certain that we lost a starter to a torn ACL in the preseason on a play where it looked like the guy only banged his knee off the crown of another Giant's helmet. It didn't look serious at all, even watching it in slow-motion, but that was all it took.

My thinking is, they let Martin walk back to the lockerroom from the tent, which suggests a ligament tear is less likely.
MRI tomorrow morning

didn't look that bad. MCL sprain maybe.
or maybe a HELMET

Helmet is becoming the new "advise" on here as in I need some "advise".

And Guice said he felt good. I didn’t see the hit, but a helmet to the knee is serious. I hope it’s just a bruise, but the Cowboys are sweating this out. Seriously. No desire to see a player get injured.

I didn’t see the play, but if he took a hit to the outside of the knee, he could have torn any or all of the MCL, ACL, and medial meniscus. Hopefully, it’s not serious. Even if he plays for the Cowboys, he’s a great player, and you hate to see anyone get hurt.
It to suggest it is a test at all,

could just be a sprain or nothing at all.
Hypertension of the knee

I believe you’re thinking of Terell Thomas who banged his knee off JPP’s helmet in a preseason game while biitzing. He tore his ACL and was of course done for the season.
