It's probably some kind of meniscus issue and you can't fix that.

You can just remove the meniscus and when that happens, you're dealing with bone on bone contact that will inevitably create - you guessed it - fluid on the knee and severe swelling.

Even money says he has some sort of meniscus tear that simply can't be resolved. They can leave it in there to provide some protection, but it gets inflamed. They can take it out but that's going to lead to issues in its own right.

There's no way to fix him. He's damaged goods, now and forevermore.

Good for them. Now they can be last but close to third in their division.

Knew that when they changed his incentives early in the season. No way they would have done that if they weren't worried about him sitting out games for injury reasons.

They can do microfracture surgery but he would miss an entire year. For some it is a near permanent fix and others just a stopgap that could work for several years or just a few months.

Kelce had microfracture surgery for damaged cartilage in his knee in 2013.

They always made weird decisions, but because of Brady they got away with it, especially on offense. With him gone their decisions are even more amplified and the luster is wearing off of Belechick.

If he goes there it's strictly for money. No way he elevates them beyond the fourth best team in the AFCE, much less the AFC.

That's just bad JuJu

I recently watched some old Kelce highlights from 2014 which I've never done before and damn he was spry. Just popped off the screen immediately.

Seems like something that could save Juju's career if he had the same results.

Otherwise, bye felicia

Too late in career for him. No way he would command a decent salary if he missed a year now.
[Reply]

I'd have to think that were the sort of thing he'd have had done in, what, 2020 when he missed most of the season with the torn shoulder? That's an ideal time to get something like that cleaned up if there were a legitimate surgical option for it.

Because this is not a new issue for him - he's been fighting knee issues going back to his 2nd year, IIRC.

I watched some highlights of Kelce from last season and his routes were so quick and precise that he was unguardable. It was insane how sudden he is for his age/mileage.
[Reply]

He probably knows deep down he is done once he has it 'fixed.'
[Reply]

It would be great to have a healthy Tyreek in his prime, those guys cost you.

I was fine with bringing JuJu back if he was cheap enough. Obviously, he wasn't.

BV is rolling the dice on Toney who came cheap because of injury. My over/under says he plays in 12.5 games in the regular season.

Kelce may be the best post microfracture surgery career in any sport.

I suppose you have to have the injury right where cartilage growth will be part of the healing from the microfractures to the bone.
[Reply]

That's not a terrible outcome whatsoever.
