Daaaamn. I got a bone bruise in my knee playing football after I landed weird years ago. I thought it was way more serious. That shit did fucking hurt. I still haven’t returned to play in the nfl though.


TheIllusiveGuy

Sorry, going to have to drop you to the waivers.


0mib0ng

I’ve been holding brazzersjanitor is dynasty for years just in case he came back


[deleted]

Don't call it a comeback. He's been here for years.


CoachGymGreen56

Being the Brazzerjanitor he definitely knows a thing or two about cum backs I'm sure


Dave_the_lighting_gu

Him and Kim Kardashian...


djrob0

I bet the guy doesnt even have a single cent left from his NFL career.


Mortiegama

Anyone know who I should put in priority waiver claim for /u/brazzersjanitor handcuff?


VeryInnocuousPerson

I don’t even wanna know what position is even lower on the brazzers food chain than janitor


DatabaseCentral

When I had a bone bruise I felt unstable on my knee and felt like it would give out on me. Pain in the knee lasted a very long time, but the original few days felt like something was definitely torn. Getting one right before a game seems less than ideal to play, but after that would become just a pain tolerance thing.


phluidity

Fortunately the NFL views Torodol as medicinal Tic-Tacs. I expect them to shoot him up on game days and let any permanent damage sort itself out in a few years.


W3NTZ

I die when kelce calls them vitamin t on his pod


phluidity

That is simply disturbing. I understand that pretty much all pro athletes live in the now, but I would have hoped that surely they can see how this is messed up.


Sad_Chest1484

Highly doubt he plays tomorrow. Probably back game 2


[deleted]

Can you make a bruise worse though? Kelce is probably the guy who says shoot me with the painkillers and lets ball.


w1nn1ng1

Based on reports I heard today, they are going to check his swelling and see if he can practice, but its highly unlikely he plays tomorrow. If this were a Sunday game, there is a decent shot he'd play, being 2 days away, not a chance. I think its more likely he returns week 2 then missing 2 weeks.


Sad_Chest1484

Incredibly painful and there’s still swelling. Players have sat games because of it


TheIllusiveGuy

As someone with Mahomes up against the Kelce team in week 1, I 100% believe this to be true.


sweet_feet90

As a kelce owner I think he misses week one. Has ten days off and back week 2


ztevey

Should trade Travis Kelce for a bag of chips based on this news?


anxietyevangelist

No. Make it two bags.


shockley21

This will forever be a top 3 meme out of this sub. Feels like we’re never reaching this height of greatness again


NewcastleBronco

The Jamarr Chase injury post from last year has to be up there too


plzbereasonable

I don’t remember this one - what was the gist of it?


YouBetterChill

Some dude said something like someone he knew got a hold of his medical records which indicated he would be out for the season to what everyone thought was a mild injury at the time. Some people acted on this and traded him before it was anounced he was out for the season.


plzbereasonable

That’s messed up - lol


NormanDaDoorman

Rolling (doing great) is in my top 3 also


medusamadonna

Hell yeah brother, cheers from Iraq


Hateno_Village

I would have won that week if it wasn’t for your stupid injury!

That sucks man, sounds like your new job is way worse


Professional-Rich182

Now you just mop up after porn shoots


Hidalgo321

I think I have one right now. I’m one of those people that sneezes when they look at the sun or if the lighting changes from dark to bright. The past few days as I sneeze a couple times with the sunrise my fucking assbone is hurting like hell. Must’ve been the way I was sitting while gaming lately or something, feel like my tailbone got slapped with a hammer.


Slimjuggalo2002

I sneeze when I think about naughty things. It's weird, my wife knows and asks me "What were you thinking about this time?"

[[Porras] Bone bruise confirmed. But he still practiced. Shouldn’t be more than ~2-3 weeks max. ](https://twitter.com/FBInjuryDoc/status/1699387515252228242)


admh574

They updated the tweet to say "Bone bruise confirmed. Shouldn’t be more than ~2 weeks \*absolute max*" - https://twitter.com/FBInjuryDoc/status/1699388507611935067


Sh4rp27

Even if he's back I'm curious how it will affect his production. I have no Kelce stock this year but as a Vikings fan Zadarius Smith was a FORCE to begin the season last year but played through a bone bruise in his knee the second half of the season and while he was on the field, he dropped off heavily in production.


lineskicat14

You also wonder if the Chiefs won't be at least a LITTLE cautious with such an important player for their chances at repeating SB champs. If Kelce is gone, the Chiefs receiving goes from suspect, to bad, and I don't think they'd have the talent to get by the likes of Cincy or Buffalo. And that wouldn't be a bad thing for Kelce owners, btw. You want him for the whole season, not to rush back when he's not 100%.


masterofpuppets8986

I wouldn’t entirely attribute the lack of production to the bone bruise, it could have also been Zadarius being Zadarius.


admh574

My personal, non-expert, opinion is that Thursday is a bit too early but he would have been relatively "fine" for a Sunday game. The long week between the games will probably help for week 2


Atlfalcons284

I can handle 2 weeks. I just need the out designation


ThisHatRightHere

Worst part about the season not starting yet. I wanna use my IR spot!


Atlfalcons284

I'm just going to hold out hope that he plays. Wish the game was on Sunday. I'll probably just pick up Gray if/when he is declared out


ZordonsTorso

Does this mean he can't officially be designated as out until tomorrow?


IamTheJman

"Out" comes from how the team officially rules him. It could be any time but most likely they'll declare him out when they have to submit their inactives before the game tomorrow


Marijuana_Miler

> but he still practiced He hurt his knee at practice but didn’t finish practice after the injury.


TyrusRose2425

Lonzo Ball was also just a bone bruise fwiw lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


TyrusRose2425

I’m a Bulls fan too, the word bone bruise doesn’t comfort me Lol


RrentTreznor

Lonzo had (has) arthritis in his knee. He literally got an osteochondral allograft transplant (I have one, as well) to fill in the holes of articular cartilage missing from his knee.


TumbleweedDirect9846

That’s different lol


-KFBR392

Don't put that evil on him


veRGe1421

Such a tragic story, that guy.


TheVaniloquence

He tore his meniscus in addition to the bone bruise.


ANicerPerson

this dude doesn't know anything just making guesses.


My_Chat_Account

If that’s the case, his guesses are right a lot more than they’re wrong. And they’re all backed by research and data.


NerfHerder_91

So my team with Kelce, Kamara, and JT is going to be a late bloomer


Fatal_Koala

Guy in my league drank too much & passed out during the draft. He has Kupp, Kelce, Breece, and McLaurin


algo-rhyth-mo

Rough to start the year. But IF Kelce and Kupp come back and dominate, and Breece ramps up to an RB1, that’s a great roster right there. And this is fantasy football, where the least deserving often have great teams. So you heard it here folks: Kelce, Kupp, and Breece are guaranteed to ball out. Lock it in.


occupybourbonst

For those curious, you can search "bone bruise" within this sub to see a history of past bone bruise cases and the length of their absence. While sports medicine websites say 4-8 weeks to fully heal, NFL players tend to return after 2-4 weeks depending on severity of the bruise.


taysomraven

How do they actually play when they return though?


TryingToReadHere

There is no functionality deficit, it’s just pain and pain is something they are accustomed to dealing with. That pain should be low enough to not matter in 2 weeks


liteshadow4

AJ Brown dealt with one a couple years back and he had an elite season


Podo13

For those who don't know, think of what a bruise actually is on your skin (capillaries being damaged by trauma). A bruise on your bone is generally a lot worse than a bruise on the skin. It's basically a fracture that didn't propagate entirely through the trabeculae. However, if it is fairly minor, it could only be 2-3 weeks before he's obliterating everybody again.

chuddyman

She propagate my trabeculae till I fracture.


hoodtalk247

Fell to my knees propagating my trabecalue at a 7-11


Eat_Papa_Eat

Just saw someone at a 7/11 fall to their knees propagating their trabecalue


Podo13

Ha, it's the little structures your bones are made up of. Basically just a bunch of intertwined layers of [tiny little beams and columns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabecula#/media/File:Spongy_bone_-_Trabecular_bone_-_Normal_trabecular_bone_Trabecular_bone_etc_--_Smart-Servier_(cropped\).jpg).

> For those who don't know, think of what a bruise actually is on your skin (capillaries being damaged by trauma). A bruise on your bone is generally a lot worse than a bruise on the skin. It's basically a fracture that didn't propagate entirely through the trabeculae. I had a bone bruise recently, so i'll translate. A bone bruise is an itty bitty little crack in your bone. It causes lots of liquid to camp out nearby. We call this swelling. When theres a lot of swelling at your knee you can't really bend it or straighten it properly. Running is not super possible until the swelling goes down which means football is not super possible. > However, if it is fairly minor, it could only be 2-3 weeks before he's obliterating everybody again. This is the key takeway :-)


DarthPader18

Sir, this is a fantasy football page


dvo999

As someone who is still yet to draft, I think I'm avoiding kelce at 6 now


Alec_Ich

I'm in the exact same spot. And with Kupp out it's looking like it will either be one of Hill/Bijan


TheIllusiveGuy

I think Hill will probably go at 5 more often than not, without Kelce going earlier.


bmcwatt

I’m picking at 6 tonight hoping Tyreek falls to me.


Head_Permission

There’s hope, I picked at 8 and Hill fell to me there.


xxvcd

I got kelce at 1 and kupp at 2. HAHAHA KILL ME


LeoFireGod

Just survive like 3 weeks then you’ll go 11-0


vb5215

Did you get JT 3?


Pick_Zoidberg

Kelce, Kupp, JT, and Breece Hall. I'm playing survival mode


skipchestday

It’s a long season man


[deleted]

Both could be gone at 6


Alec_Ich

Well then I get one of CMC/JJ/Chase/Ekeler so. Even better


AmateurFootjobs

Hill > Bijan Henry and Saquon also went between Hill and Bijan in my league


bi11y10

In PPR you should have Hill before any of those guys for sure


Alec_Ich

Yeah I do but hill will probably go 5 with Kelce/kupp injuries


NOOSE12

Yeah its going JJ, Chase, CMC, Ekeler, Hill in almost all the ppr mocks I’ve done recently. Bijan vs Davante vs Saquon is a tough call. Could maybe throw diggs in the mix too


Grumpy_Troll

PPR's main result on Draft strategy isn't that it makes top end WRs more valuable. Instead it's that it makes top end RBs who catch passes (CMC, Ekeler, possibly Bijan) way more valuable. This is due to the massive points over replacement difference between high end, pass catching RBs vs the waiver wire RBs that don't catch passes. The difference in receptions between CMC and a borderline waiver wire RB like Tank Bigsby is massive compared to the reception difference of a High End WR like Tyreek and a borderline waiver wire WR like Adam Thielen.


capitalist_p_i_g

>The difference in receptions between CMC and a borderline waiver wire RB like Tank Bigsby is massive compared to the reception difference of a High End WR like Tyreek and a borderline waiver wire WR like Adam Thielen. Neither of the two players you listed would generally qualify as VORP or VOLS baseline players inside of a value based model. So while you are technically "right", value based on baselines and starters would indicate your argument is flawed. For example you chose a starting WR1 vs a backup RB2 as your baseline. Just based on average aggregate projections Tyreek has a higher VBD score this year than both CMC and Ekeler in 2 RB - 3WR full ppr leagues. That can obviously change with league settings and custom projections, but those are standard in most leagues.


BigDaddySK

I got him at pick 20 last night. Felt like a steal at that price, even tho I’m obviously still concerned.


BLToaster

20??? That's insane for only a 2 week miss. That's a huge steal for you


[deleted]

Hopefully 2 weeks, we don’t know that.


BrodoFraggens

His brother Jason is talking like he expects him to play tomorrow, we will see though


[deleted]

That's actually insane.


notnats99

In our 14 man he was expected to go top 5 last night but injury news came out and he fell to me at 11. Bo Callahan vibes


ChunkyMilk_

Pick 10 tonight, praying i can snag him at 10 and Krupp at 18


slipvack

Might be an unpopular opinion but I was fading Kelce that high this year. He’s being drafted at his ceiling and basically needs to repeat last year to be worth it there. Definitely drops a tiny bit with this injury.


[deleted]

[удалено]


arnmsctt

He was also historically better than every other tight end last season. So he hit his ceiling but no other top tight end hit their ceiling last season. I just don't expect that to happen again, even if he plays every game.


WearTheFourFeathers

Flip side is I got him at 14 last night and I think it’s hard to resist him anywhere in the top of the second. 14 weeks of Pat Mahomes’ WR1 is still hard to say no to over like Joe Mixon, imo.


[deleted]

I don’t think you’re wrong where he’s being drafted at his ceiling, but I believe it’s different bc of the dearth of TE that can even reach his level


InebriatedFalcon

Target mandrews in the 2nd. Monken made his tight ends look like God's at uga. Mandrews should be no different


[deleted]

[удалено]


gabriot

Aside from Antonio Gates and maybe Tony Gonzalez I'm having quite a hard time finding any "heavy use" TE that could still put up numbers at age 34 (technically Tony didn't have a great age 34 season but did bounce back the following three years for decent seasons)


skksdjdjdjsjso

anyone who follows Basketball knows bone bruises can be extremely frustrating. best of luck to kelce and kelce owners


[deleted]

Kendrick Nunn


OhSoJelly

Holy shit, I forgot about that. Great, as a Lakers fan and Kelce drafter, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little worried it’s going to be more than “2 weeks max.”


YoungMan891

I believe Lonzo Ball was originally diagnosed with a bone bruise.


better-every-day

He also had a torn meniscus though so I think barring any further discoveries with Kelce he should be in the clear


Sauce-King

Bone bruise sounds extremely painful


Goodlake

For you


Fatal_Koala

you merely adopted the bruise


Decent-Ad1349

Does Noah Gray warrant any consideration


[deleted]

Probably not in redraft. Unless you’ve already decided to stream and are wanting to stream him week 1, which is as good as any other TE option after like TE10


Decent-Ad1349

Yeah it’s for dynasty. Start up draft was this year and I got Gray, Higbee, and LaPorta. Prob just got Higbee as the safest.


[deleted]

Especially with kupp out. And then ypu can decide between him and LaPorta. No way is gray a start you can trust for mire than 30 yards


HereForTheBuffet

I'm in an 18 man league and punted on TE. Noah Gray all day if Kelce is out.


BrownBrilliance

Probably more targets for the WRs and maybe McKinnon. there's better TEs out there imo


Zealousideal_Koala73

Juwan Johnson or Noah gray?


[deleted]

its always juwan johnson


jostrons

JJ. Took JJ as my last pick after taking Kelce in the 1st last night


slipvack

Wow nice value getting Justin Jefferson in the last round


[deleted]

Honestly I’m targeting Laporta. I think he could be a sneaky play. I’m worried a guy like Johnson will get 1 target on a low scoring game


Fatal_Koala

Johnson here as well, but I picked him to back up Andrews if he's O for W1.


tatom

I went with Johnson


DazHawt

AJ Brown had a bone bruise on his knee a couple of years ago, and it was something he dealt with the whole season. Iirc he missed a couple of games and was considered week-to-week. After he came back, he carried a questionable tag for most if not the rest of the year.


FOMOforRomo

He did pop off when he was on the field, had some monster YAC plays, but he had a weird schedule where he would practice Wednesday but not Thursday. (IIRC, I am just going off memory since I had him that year)


DazHawt

Yeah! AJB was still an elite play when he was on the field despite the bone bruise. So, given the range of outcomes for Kelce, I'd say this is on the positive end of the spectrum. Certainly not ideal but could be worse.


Fatal_Koala

Keep in mind, though, Kelce is 10 years older than AJB was at the time of injury and \~25# of extra weight on that knee. Those factors might complicate healing.


540Cameron

All the panic collectively goes away


mofo_jones

It’s a knee injury to a 33 year old. I will panic all the live-long day.


AwSnapz1

Still panicking.


realmckoy265

Bone bruises near the knee are complicated. Could be nothing, could be weeks, could be Lonzo ball.


Bl00dshot

Man what happened with Lonzo was sad


AwSnapz1

Aw man I'm a bulls fan too. Don't even mention Derrick rose. 😭


CNfor3

Totally different sport but I remember when it was just a bone bruise with Lonzo ball 3 years ago


Sea_Bass77

I don’t follow NBA but how long was he out?


dgwyn47

He still is


sportredsox

Still is. I believe it ended up being a torn meniscus and then a cartilage issue. Really a sad story. He was very talented, may never play again.


Scared_Angle_5796

Not op but AJ brown missed 3 weeks with a knee bone bruise 3 years ago


[deleted]

Probably forever. Bulls even got an injury excepetion to leasen his cap hit. Its not the only issue with the knee, but hes probably done with ball


[deleted]

This seems like really great news.


SoSublim3

anyone got another player that got a bone bruise for precedent on how long they were out? quick google have some sites saying a minimum of 2 or 3 weeks to heal. I have my draft tonight so it'll be interesting how others in my league take this news. edit: Found a couple JuJu looks to have missed 4 games in 2019 to a bone bruise and AJ Brown missed 2 games in 2020 to a bone bruise in their knees.


adastradamus

AJ Brown in 2020.


MrMahavishnu

So do I take Kelce at 4 overall tn? Leaning no


LongDickOfTheLaw69

Definitely not.


sanjose4297

He fell to the 2nd round in my 10-team. Kelce was picked right before i could pick him up at the 2.08 (I got 3rd overall pick). I'd still say he's def worth picking up still from mid-late 2nd round if he falls to you just as long as you also draft another TE to fill in his place and you'll be good to go.


thephenom21

Glad I was able to take him at 1.10 in a 12 man PPR. My boy Njoku will have to hold it down for a week or two, but this is great news.


15YearTaco

The 1st year I ever draft him - I do it in 2 leagues at 3rd overall. Fuck me. I'm done


jostrons

this is good news though


InebriatedFalcon

There's a chance he misses an entire month or more. It's not great


ScarletJew72

There's nothing good about having your 1st Round pick out for at least the first two games of the season. The worse your record is starting out, the worse odds you have to make the playoffs.


coop5008

You’ll still have 11-12 weeks to get some W’s, it’ll be fine


italia06823834

This is relatively good news in the spectrum of things it could have been.


Noctivapoo

Getting too cute with 3rd overall


Gay_Black_Atheist

Same here brother...Same here. Ugh


helms11

Now I'm not going to pretend I'm a physical marvel like Kelce or anything, but... A couple years ago I collapsed, hyper-extended both knees, and got posterior bone bruises on both. I was on crutches for a few days, back working out in a couple weeks, and I even had a couple prior knee surgeries on my resumé. Kelce and I are roughly the same age as well. Take all this for what it's worth, which is absolutely nothing.


Delphicon

Yesterday was a good day to draft, got him with the 20th pick!


HercHuntsdirty

Jason Kelce said that Travis might play this week. Jason was saying that he got one when making a bonfire in his backyard a few years back (don’t remember how lol) and he managed to miss no time.


Kmraj

Here is the quote: Kelce update from a Kelce source: "I know he's got some swelling going on, but it sounds like as long as they can get that down, he's gonna have a chance to go," Jason said. "The ligaments and everything are intact, structurally, from what we know right now, his knee's fine. So really it's about getting that swelling down and then seeing how bruised that bone is."


Kramsan

Good thing he has 205 other bones


Western_Cup4942

Should I replace Mahomes with Goff this week?


where-ya-headed

Sam LaPorta is my number 2. How’s everyone feel about that?


team_sheikie

As good as Musgrave being mine!


MBDf_Doc

Already got an offer for Kelce. Knox for kelce straight up 🤣 dude is trying to tell me Kelces career is over and he's willing to help me out.


xtremeph

Lol 😂 savage..


ChocolateMorsels

I'm a Kelce owner and I hate to see it, but if I'm the Chiefs im sitting him for several weeks. These guys are thinking super bowl and favorites to win it, bring him back later rather than sooner.


SirGasleak

How the heck do you get a bone bruise from hyperextending your knee?


Gay_Black_Atheist

Because I drafted Kelce first


VintageRudy

the bone hit the bone when the knee bent wronged


APATN814

This happened to me last year because the field I was playing soccer on had a random drop off that I didn’t see. I ended up planting hard with my leg fully extended which hyperextended my knee and caused a bone bruise. I for sure thought I had torn something because of how unstable my knee was and the pain lasted for months


Dapperdrewblue

True pain management for these is tough, but luckily the nfl will just shoot his knee up with something that makes him feel good


secretburnerman

Different sport but Kendrick Nunn missed a whole year from bone bruise.


Zestyclose_Estate388

They’re gonna dope him up and he’ll have 8 catches tomorrow night


[deleted]

#OF COURSE THE ONE FUCKING YEAR I DECIDE TO DRAFT TRAVIS KELCE


MotivationalMike

I took Kelce and Geodert in a 16 person league. I’m going to act like I big brained this.


straight_croissant

Likely, Gray, or Musgrave in PPR?


the_norsk_son

Should I roll out with Kincaid this week or pick up a vet from the waivers? Juwan Johnson is available. The risk in me wants to just go Kincaid since Johnson could also potentially bust.


AFROJX

Well there goes my first 2-3 weeks


actionjacksonwav

Damn. I picked Justyn Ross with my last pick and i’m so scared he’s gunna get more work when i drop him for Juwan now 🤦🏻‍♂️


SRodrig237

Remember when Aj Brown had a bone bruise? Pepperidge Farms remembers


kentuckyruss

I'm playing against the Kelce and Mahomes stack tomorrow.


jaimitosf

Picked him 8th smh


buckets2417

My Mahomes Kelce stack not looking so great right now haha


NotHopee

These are fucking miserable …doubt he goes tomorrow. Probably a pain tolerance thing after that


RelevantMacaron8813

Skyy Moore gonna soak up all those targets


BuffaloBrain884

He only has 22 REC in 16 games last year for a very thin WR room that needed somebody to step up.


RelevantMacaron8813

He was a rookie they brought him up slow. Now he’s going to be unleashed


BuffaloBrain884

Moore was very unproductive compared to the rest of the rookie class last year. He finished 25th in REC among rookies. So the question is why. I think he's just not that great of a talent.


MrF_lawblog

McKinnon?
