TSO Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I hope all these little injuries that keep coming out are just about us being cautious and NOT allowing anything to get to the season like last year. I just hope they're all as minor as they say. Randy Thomas underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Wednesday morning. He is expected to sit out this weekend's mini-camp. Thomas is expected to be fully healthy by the start of training camp in late July. The procedure to clean out the knee was performed by Dr. Ray Thal at the Reston Surgery Center. Thomas is coming off a strong season in which he started 16 games at right guard for the Redskins. The 8-year NFL veteran earned Quarterback Club Player of the Year honors in 2006. As a unit, the offensive line helped produce the league's 4th-best ground game and yielded just 19 sacks. Thomas was selected as the team's Ed Block Courage Award winner, given to a player who overcame an injury last year. Thomas had suffered a fractured fibula late in the 2005 season.

21ppg=superbowl Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 seems like the only time we hear about these types of procedures are when they happen to a star. makes me wonder if the skins don't publicize minor players getting similar treatments (because it's less news worthy) or if we simply have the horrible luck of only our good players getting these injurys while our depth remains healthy. all of these "precautionary" surgeries bother me.

TSO Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yeah... I'm getting just a bit bothered by all this too. Hopefully it's truly as I claimed, that all of this is to just make sure we don't go into the season saying "We should've dealt with it then" like we did last year.

S.T.21 will eat you alive Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Thomas is one of my favorite players in the team. I really hope he gets well real soon. I have a good feeling about this season. I am glad all the injuries and stuff are happening BEFORE the season rather than the middle. I feel like we are getting all these "out of the way" now. On the other hand, now ESPN and everyone else will underestimate us even MORE and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnoke03 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sounds like a routine enough procedure and he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Isn't this kind of late in the off-season to have this procedure done? Somebody tell me that this is a normal and acceptable time frame. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptChaos86 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 It does seem kinda late in the offseason. I hope he has a speedy recovery we def need him in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Larry Michael mentioned today that it was a very minor procedure, and that he should definately be ready for training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKSkinsFan Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'd rather see that now then during the season. He's going to be an important piece to the line this year, I'd think he'd be pulling more often than last year with Dock gone. Not sure how Wade will do with that, I don't think it's something he's done much before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALLz Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 After the Mini camp this week end they are done until Training Camp right? I hope so cuz these guys seem beat up already. I don't know who the trainer is but they need to start teaching these boys how to stretch and warm up properly. I know it wouldn't have made a difference for Thomas but I know a bunch of guys have been sitting out for muscle pulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 seems like the only time we hear about these types of procedures are when they happen to a star. makes me wonder if the skins don't publicize minor players getting similar treatments (because it's less news worthy) or if we simply have the horrible luck of only our good players getting these injurys while our depth remains healthy. all of these "precautionary" surgeries bother me. The skins publicize this stuff on EVERY player, stars just get more bump from other media outlets, haters dancing (we do it too when it they're guys) and the gloomy guses. We also tend to remember when stuff like this happens to our key players and important acquisitions more than just a guy most think is just camp-fodder. Another reason is that at the NFL level, there's really not much tangible difference between the aces and the also-rans (except for the handful of freaks). Mostly the aces just push themselves harder, just have a higer pain threshold and are usually not whiners. They're more likely to play/practice hurt, try to comeback from an injury too soon, overwork themselves or ignore injury that maybe they shouldn't.

SkinsGuy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Relax guys. This is just some minor scope and cleaning procedure. Not a intrusive, complex operation that Thomas will have to re-hab and everything. He should be fine by training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
