Eagles WR Maclin tears ACL, could miss season
  Mike, another example, the ACL is the number one weakness in the evolution of the human knee, it is the #1 curse to most all sports(along with tendinitis). most frightening it can be torn with one mild mistep when running --anything that causes lateral  motion  stress on ACL.  Your ACL was in a badminton game right? McClin was not uncommon, there was no contact, he just landed onetime, i suspect, in a manner that lateral stress occurs .  There are too many that never get it back, if in a skill position. McClin free agency value has just collapsed--tough on McClin.  i have said during football playing years, a first rate trainer told me i would never have a ACL injury because i had virtually zero lateral motion in my knee, meaning i had Cable Knees. The more lateral movement a trainer can feel the higher the chance of an ACL.  i do have one Knee proplem , sometimes, when sitting and go to get up my right knee is locked, i have immediately sit again and gently do some maneuver,  i  hear a click, and i an O.K.--i realize if i ever forced it, i;d tear somehing--think it is the menicus. i case that is what is called "a trick knee":)  Cooper /Avant and Ertz will need fill--Eagles think Ertz can be a big sized WR.    Are you still able to  still horse back ride, Mike--given all your knee injuries??? Later, Max |
