I was actually pulling for a bone bruise, but maybe this is better yet?
Just glad to hear it's a nick and nothing to set him back much in his development.

I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone straining a muscle "behind" the knee. A lower quad/thigh muscle maybe, but what kind of muscle are we talking about that got strained here and what's the typical recovery time?
Paging Dr. Moga!

An MRI revealed that Williams has a muscle strain behind his knee, and that there is no ligament damage. It is not expected to be a long-term injury.
Williams had left Saturday night's 28-18 preseason victory over the Giants with what was described as a knee injury, though a league source said afterward that the Jets believed it may have just been a bone bruise, pending the results of the MRI.
That Williams did not sustain any ligament damage is good news both for him and the Jets. The No. 6 overall pick in the draft, Williams is expected to begin the season as a starting defensive end because of Sheldon Richardson's four-game suspension.

A lower quad/thigh muscle maybe, but what kind of muscle are we talking about that got strained here and what's the typical recovery time? Paging Dr. Moga! The popliteus muscle is located behind the knee and I imagine this is the strain that has occurred. Alternatively, the hamstring also runs behind the knee. However, I imagine they would have reported this as a pulled hamstring if it were the case. Typically muscle strains can be treated w/ basic conservative measures (rest, ice, compression, elevation, massage, etc.). I imagine if he is allowed to take it easy for the next week he'll be fine. Just a guess though, I haven't seen the MRI or been able to personally work w/ Williams. But yea best guess is that this will be resolved in a week's time. It should be less pronounced than a hamstring strain (which actually always are partial tears despite the use of the word strain and thus explaining why they take so long/linger if not taken care of properly; fun fact for the day) |
