Injury updates 8/22: Connelly, Graham, Lalos, Lattimore and others (2 Viewers)

Have you ever played a sport or made an explosive move in your life? 9/10 its just tightness and they sit out as a precaution, they have a regular season to prepare for, they still get film work, weight training and rehab on the side of the field, everybody is participating whether on the field or on the sideline.

I'm sure that's it. But, I've had a goin injury and it took me a loooooong time to recover, like MT long, so I'm a little paranoid when I hear groin injury. Those are the worst.

The Smith signing was sooo needed. I really don't know how that position group shakes out with Baun, Jackson, Sewell, Dowell, Orji, Anderson. I think that's the ranked order for who makes it.

Totally agree with you on needed depth. What I’m always preaching as we get hammered every dang year with injuries. People always talking about how we’re great as we only run two, Werner and DD are great……yep. One of those guys is hurt all the time and the other is getting up there in age. I’m glad the coaching staff used common sense and is at least trying to brace for the coming injury storm.

Connelly looked really active in the game Sunday - shame if his injury is significant. Might have been some depth and special teamer.

Agreed. I’ve been impressed with him. Hope he will be ok.

Acute groin injuries may result from direct trauma encountered in contact sports (eg, football, ice hockey, basketball, rugby, soccer) and noncontact sports (eg, gymnastics). Acute muscle strains are commonly encountered in activities in which forced adduction of the hip occurs (eg, soccer, football, rugby, ice hockey, swimming [particularly with the breaststroke]) or in activities in which forced abduction of the hip occurs (eg, any sporting activity in which the athlete may perform a split, either accidentally or forcefully).

Acute groin. That’s what she said.

What the heck are they doing with all the groin injuries? They gotta be doing something wrong. Sheesh!

Not sure I want to know.

This is every year. Groin pulls and hernias. Something wrong with the training staff. Stretching?

That's what I was thinking. But it IS a sensitive area and also none of my business.

Any news on long Taysom will be out with his strained oblique?

These guys are like fine tuned sports cars. And just as hard to maintain. Especially when you keep crashing into things.

Probably the only part of my body I haven't managed to injure.

Groin injuries are almost always the result of a strain to the adductor muscle.

Things to help avoid injury wouldn't just be stretching but strengthening the adductor muscles through strength training (wide stance squats, sumo stance deadlifts, etc.).

Could be that the S&T staff isn't really focusing on this area as a part of the overall program.

In that case you’re not doing it right
