Dwight Freeney injury likely serious

Just my take on what I've read but its not looking like he will play or be very effective if he does:

Colts' Dwight Freeney says he hasn't decided on whether to take injection before Super Bowl - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com


"I've yet to really think about it to be honest," Freeney said. "I guess that's a conversation me and the doctors are going to have on Saturday ... whether it's even safe to do so."

 

See this is why steroids should be legal. They could shoot this dude up with some roids and pain killers and benzocaine or novacaine, and might be able to play in 1 game, or get some reps.

 

......I guess it would be so effective that he won't feel it when the foot is about to fall of

 

no but it's worth a shot right? he was saying in an interview today, that he was trying everything, some asian steven segal remedies, and everything he could. So if anything could get this guy's ankle to feel good enough for him to get 10 snaps in that game, shouldn't it be legal?

Not that i care about Freeney, i hope he doesn't play.

 

I agree. It is like when the axle in a 4x4 has a hairline crack, why grease it up and insist on putting it through a cross country race? Feeling good doesn't help fix the structural deficiency existing in the weight bearing ankle joint. Makes no sense. That's why I am somewhat against athletes playing in pain as pain is usually a warning sign.

 

im pretty sure corticosteroids (antiinflammatory, like cortisone) are legal.

 

they are but those are anti inflammatory, steroids can speed up recovery from injury, now i don't know if they can help in 2 weeks, i'm not a doctor but i am pretty sure i stayed at a holiday inn once or twice in my life.
