Ridley's surgery
Posted on 3/25/09 at 8:21 am

Heard that he gets his ACL fxed this Friday by one of the "team's surgeons." Also was reminded that Addai also had the same injury his sophomore year. What's good, I heard , is that he had no other knee damage in the freak accident. Many times there is a lot of damage to other parts of the joint and that makes recovery much harder.

Hitman, what's his prognosis? Obviously it depends on how well rehab goes, but is he expected to be close to 100% by fall? We may need him this year if Scott or Williams go down.

what's up with the quotes? And any chance he'll be back at all for the fall? I'm of the opinion that if he can come back at all--even if it's in November--he should do that instead of sitting out just to hopefully get a 6th year. 6th years are no good for RBs, especially ones who hope to play in the NFL.

I wish we knew how severe it was.
obviously, it's bad if he had surgery on it.
meaning, he is longshot to be back for the season.

of course there's a chance.
it might be pretty slim though.

Its torn. Rehab is tough. But so is two a days. I think, my opinion, he is out until next year , 2010. He's got a shot at the NFL and I would not risk the knee until it fully heals. With KW, CS and RM, I think Ridley would be playing little, or no TB in 09, just like last year. To play FB when you have lived your whole life playing TB is like putting a race horse behind a plow. It may be necessary, but not fun. You"ve got to be a team player, but still, if you are not having fun, your are not having fun.. I think RM was shafted last yearn in that he got to play very little TB. He will get more carries this year. If Ridley was healthy, it would mean fewer for #34.

Agree.Even though the graft is stable at 6 months post-op I would think very few athletes are ready for top notch competition at this time.
The good news is he will only be a sophomore next year so he could still have a great career even if he misses all of next year.
More good news is that i would guess it is Brent Bankston doing his surgery and that guy is the man at repairing the ACL.He did my left ACL 9 months ago and it feels great.I had the right knee done 15 years ago by another surgeon and the hamstring graft Bankston prefers seems alot better as far as recovery than the patellar tendon graft that most surgeons prefer.
Anyway good luck to Ridley!!I think he will still be an incredible back for us in the future.

quite honestly, he's done for 2009.
to expect him to play this year is foolish, and could potentially hurt him in the long run.
sucks man.

I talked to him last week and he said he should be 100% by September. Whether that means he'll play or not, I don't know. He said they have been killing him with "pre-hab" stuff since the injury and they think he will make a very fast recovery.

I hope all goes well with him.
I really like his running style.
he will be needed somewhere along the way.
I honestly wish we had used him more during the last three games of last season.
scott is a badd arse, but he was tired...

I hope so...
alley broussard and justin vincent thought they could come back too, just saying.

broussard sat out a year

My money is on Bankston, and he is one of the best.

yeah, 2005. and then addai took over.
and then vincent torn his ACL in the peachbowl on a kickoff return, and came back in 2006, and sucked arse.

That's mighty optimistic...No way he sees the field next year as ACL's usually take close to nine months recovery. In addition, he would have to get back into game shape.

Ridley's been reported walking around with no limp or crutches.
Does he still need the ACL replaced, or is it possible this is a repair that is much less significant than replacing the ACL?
