That should certainly help with the ACL...now just need to manage the tendonosis.
Where did you get the tendonosis evaluation from?
My bad, guys. My phone auto fills tendonosis before tendinitis.
Anyhow, he's always had tendinitis long before the ACL surgery. Post surgery, tendinitis might be likely as well. In short, tendinitis is likely to be something he'll have to manage and probably was a big reason he's trimmed down so much to help with managing that.
It is possible for tendinitis to just go away but with a man that size, his genetics, surgeries, and what will be asked of him, my guess is he'll always need to manage it and some weeks will be more painful than others. My guess is he'll remain an early 2-down player at 2i.

Banffy has examined draft prospects at the past four combines and isn't too surprised by the report.
"I will definitely downgrade them because that means they are probably going to have issues," Banffy said. "They are probably going to have a little bit of swelling at the knees. They are probably going to need some maintenance on the knees such as injections, and they're going to be in the training room a little more often.
"So I would give these guys C-minuses. We still take those guys."

You may have heard of me. I coined the phrase, "What shoulder?!?"
I also coined the less publicized, "What knee?!?" too.
