This might be interesting to some of you.
My wife just had her post op visit with the surgeon who cleaned up previous rotator cuff surgery. He’s a Trojan fan here in CA, and works with high school athletes, including quarterbacks like the injured in (AC joint) one at Mater Dei.
Anyway, if I understood correctly, the AC joint attaches the shoulder to the collarbone with three ligaments. He said that there are normally 3 potential situations:
If it’s severe, surgery. If it’s moderate, the player can exacerbate the injury by playing. If it’s mild, the QB probably cannot exacerbate the injury by playing. In that case, it would simply be a matter of pain tolerance and of course, throwing proficiency.
Again, three ligaments hold the joint in place and they can usually determine the severity simply with an x-ray. That surprised me. I guess that they measure the displacement.
Regarding Ewers, who knows? I know that Sark said “day to day” in the presser today, but that could mean almost anything, or be intentionally deceptive.
