ProFootballDoc(Twitter): Jones Injury could be Disc

BeckShepEli : 12/5/2021 10:51 am
For those who are Twitter fans, ProFootballDoc is a great follow. Always comments on players injuries(Ex NFL Team Head Doctor). He believes that Jones injury could be a Disc issue and prolonged absence. He followed up that it will most likely be season ending.

This makes the most sense as Giants aren’t signing Fromm off PS of another team for a strain.
That sucks for jones

would need to read the full diagnosis since disc issue can mean anything.

Sounds bad.
Yep

It generally requires a cleaning out or a fusion..
Would they let him practice right off the bat....

if it was a disc? Don't think a disc is something that you would say "go ahead and see how it feels."

No idea, he is just throwing shit out there. He didn't say it was he said it could be based on the fact that he may be out more than one week. He is right is could be, it also may not be, but that's not as good of headline
‘Disc’ could mean a lot of things ...

And surgery is not always needed or desired. They can resolve with rest.
Regardless, QBs should never have designed runs between the tackles in the NFL.

Chocco why so hostile on game day, hence why he used the word “could”. Someone asked him if it was a disc injury would it be season ending. “He said likely”

Giant fans live in fairyland, if this was a neck strain he would be playing today, if this was a neck strain they wouldn’t sign Fromm off a PS. Fromm also wouldn’t have agreed to come to NY for one game.
Yea people are way ahead of themselves with this  
Chris684 : 12/5/2021 11:18 am : link
If this is a disc issue are the Giants really putting a helmet on him and walking him out to the practice field earlier in the week?

That would seem like medical malpractice.
Disc

As Eric said this week, if it was disc would they have let him practice all week alibet all non contact?

Sorry, as a healthcare professional I get gets pissed when other healthcare professionals do this shit. He has no idea what is going on. He is just throwing shit out there to create headlines and get likes, comments and views. It has less to do with my feeling for the Giants and more to do with my feelings for the industry that I work in.

If that's the case that solves the QB conundrum  
dpinzow : 12/5/2021 11:28 am : link
and we'll have to at least think about one of this year's QBs if they slip to Round 2 (or a veteran stopgap)
Cervical (neck) Disc  
gregori : 12/5/2021 11:36 am : link
For what it's worth.
I'm a Chiropractor whose office obtains over 400 cervical (neck) MRIs per year.
Positive findings including disc bulges and herniations is @ 95%. If we only include disc herniations it's @ 75%.
So it would be rare NOT to have a disc finding of some sort in a patient with trauma as described with Jones however there is also no certainty that any disc findings is related to the trauma as approximately 20%-50% (depending on age group) of asymptomatic (people with no neck complaints) individuals have disc findings via MRI.
So, I would expect a positive MRI regarding disc findings with Jones however those findings would have to be correlated with symptoms and objective physical examination as well as other tests such as EMGs.
This stuff is not simple and probably is not particularly appropriate subject matter for this board.

Majority of disc issues don’t require surgery.. most are treatable with therapy.. now some do require surgery. I have had 2 back surgeries and I am also a PT..

Maybe it's a toomah

I agree. I think he’s the most NFL pro style ready QB in the draft
I am not a chiropractor  
Payasdaddy : 12/5/2021 12:21 pm : link
But from what I have seen with myself, anytime I get mri or X-ray I have something wrong with me
Narrowing of spine. Compressed disc etc
Thing is I never know it’s there
My chiro swore I would need back surgery because my hip replacement was killing me. Said 8t was referred pain from back
Mri said my back had some moderate spine narrowing and such

Well it was my hip that was failing, replacement was loose. Had it replaced again
Back never had any discomfort since

Neck. X-ray at 19. Chiropractor says it’s pretty jammed up and compressed. Gonna give me issues. Played ball another 20 yrs
At 58, besides normal tightness in morning ( like everything else), neck feels pretty good. 40 yrs later

Moral of the story. Beware what’s under the hood when u get imaging but not necessarily the end

If we do pick a QB this draft this is who I want. I would prefer a trade down a little with one of the picks to get him.
I’m not sure I’d say the majority of NFL players  
UConn4523 : 12/5/2021 1:09 pm : link
have disc issues, but I know that it’s many of them. It’s a scary word that has a massive spectrum of severity. We need to know more about it, could be anything.

As for Jones, I feel bad for him. His running ability was a weapon, but only if you can slide. He takes way too many hits.
