Were you in a boot? I spent 6-8 weeks in the boot after my ankle surgery and my calf most assuredly went away like that in that period of time.

Like I said - surprised the hell out of me. I went into my first PT appointment thinking things were in pretty good shape and then he had me do THAT exercise and I was pretty floored.

As far as day to day activity went, I'd have never noticed. But once he showed me how to isolate it I realized that there was just no explosion in that right calf at all.

They way he was able to identify that it was starting to recover was actually watching my knee. When I could do a toe raise on the right leg, that was obviously step one. But then when I had to hold it, if my right knee bent it meant that my leg was compensating with a different muscle to make up for the little 'interior' muscle in the calf not being able to do the work on its own. That knee bending was somehow activating a different muscle group in my calf/leg to make things kinda sorta keep working.

It wasn't until I could do a toe raise and hold it for about 10 seconds on a straight right leg that we were back to near normal.

Yup.

The Steven Nelson signing is the backup plan for the playoffs, likely nothing else. It's gonna take a few games to get him up to speed.

And the hope is if we can secure the Bye, we might have Watson back for the first playoff game at Arrowhead. If not, Nelson will likely be starting opposite Williams with McDuffie moving back into the slot.

Just saw Xavier Worthy's "mic'd up" on youtube and who was on the sidelines standing next to Clyde game? Yep it Jaylen. Think this might have been the first game he's done that since he got injured. Couple this with the recent picture of him getting treatment at the Chiefs facility and it certainly looks like he's back with the team a lot more now.

Does anyone in-the-know have an answer here?

It seems really weird that injured players wouldn’t still be required to be in the facility every day. They’re still under contract, still getting paid. If a dude tears his ACL and is out indefinitely, are teams really just like “Alright, welp, see ya when we see ya!”? I feel like there’s no way that’s the case.

He’s rehabbing. He is probably doing PT at the facility and wants to be with the team. This means nothing.

We saw Rashee in the pool doing rehab. Doesn’t mean he’s coming back this year.

They spend most of the time doing rehab, I'm assuming at the facility but I know I've heard guys say they felt really isolated when injured and rehabbing
[Reply]

He wasn't there before. So clearly it indicates that progress has been made imo.
[Reply]

I think they've loosened the IR rules with the expansion. Used to IR guys couldn't have contact with coaches or players in the facility and said it was depressing.

I was not in a boot. I guess totally isolating it would make a huge difference.

Josh Williams has already been a pretty decent improvement. We’ll take what we can get, but the secondary isn’t quite the same tire fire from a few games ago
[Reply]

Yeah - just moving onto the thing that always seemed to make the most sense has made a difference.

I really don't understand how Williams got himself THAT deep in the doghouse. But I'm glad he's out.

He's a definite step-up from Johnson.
[Reply]

Williams has been a considerable upgrade and I think that showed the last two games. Once we get Watson back this secondary is gonna be lethal
[Reply]

Lol clowns on twitter was roasting Josh yesterday just because Jeudy caught a few passes on him smh.

Anyway this is huge news about Watson. Still has a month to go until the playoffs so to be working out already is a great sign. Saw on twitter Doctor Jesse Morse said this was very good news too.

IF we have Watson, Trent, Nelson and Williams available for the playoffs that would be epic.
