    Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles in 15' and came back in 16'. Had 8 sacks and 40 tackles. I think an edge rusher relies on explosion and quickness. Suggs is up there in age.

    Sydney can come back fine. He has youth on​ his side as well.

    But whatever, you guys can write him off.

    Damaryius Thomas' entire NFL career is post Achilles tear, but you don't repair 20-30 Achilles tendons per year so quit saying stupid shit.

    Going to help you out. Once the MRI is reviewed it will tell you how far it has retracted. My assumption is it retracted 2-3 cm from its insertion point and is a midstance tear. From what I remember, Thomas had an insertional avulsion not a midsubstsnce tear, I could be wrong. Apples to apples, we don't know what type of injury and not all are created the same.
    If it was an avulsion in Sydney Jones of the entire Achilles' tendon unit from the posterior superior aspect of the calcaneous, you could inject PRP and stem cells like Amnion (they have flowable amnion as of November) and perform a PARS technique, minimally invassive with a horizontal incision. Reach up grab the tendon with a Kocher forecept, pull it distallly and perform your P.A.R.S., take the fiberwire sutures and then put your anchors into the Calcaneous. Anchor the PARS sutures into the calcaneous using a blind tunnel technique and since he's an athlete over tighten and place in somewhat equinus position so he doesn't loose as much power. This will probably create more of a problem later on as with all equinus deformities, genu recurvatum, hyper pronation, etc etc etc. The key feature here is not doing an end to end anastomosis, with a krakow suture but rather using PARS and Calc anchors. Using Amnion to regenerate tendon and reduce inflammatory response would be key
    AGREE

    You obviously know more about this shit than I do. I think it's way premature to assume we know the extent of the injury, no?

    Until that point, I'll stand by guess/hope that he's young enough to recover unless it's absolute worse case scenario.

    We are both devastated by his injury. I truely hope he recovers fully and will be watching this closely. Kobe had a more proximal injury, it required doing a lengthening and end to end anasamosis.

    In all honesty, we are in a better place today than 5 years ago with Stem Cells. Amnion and PRP do amazing things for soft tissue healing and tendon healing. Hopefully they throw the check book at his medical care (experimental and not covered by many insurances) and he gets everything a professional athlete does, like Suggs and others
