Injury Report: 2018-19 Injury Report - Where’s Kesler?

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Watkins is a back/spine guy. That sounds more serious than "muscle spasms". But it certainly does make sense to maybe shut him down if they really don't know what is going on. There is no reason on earth to play him under those circumstances.

Herniated or bulging discs can cause muscle spasms as the nerves get impinged. It's not great but if he herniated it he would have known and not been playing at all.

I’d just be concerned that this is the same ongoing issue. He seems to always miss a few games throughout the last couple of years to the mysterious UBI. If it’s been the same problem, that could be serious. Not that we’ll ever get told anything. LoL

He still got someone...

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Shut them all down for the sake of the draft lottery order.

 

[snowave]

this team is so beyond just bad luck, they are downright cursed.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Ducks fans wishing for an injury to a right winger, last name ending in -erry. Welp.

 

[duxfan1101]

You have to be kidding me

 

[Dryish]

Could heal just in time for camp then. Maybe. Fingers crossed.

God damn it.

LMAO, our injury luck over the last 3 seasons has been an absolute gongshow. What a huge blow for the Gulls' Calder Cup run as well; I feel for the fans down there.

Of course it was Giordano, too, because why not #notmyNorrisTrophyvote

I've never heard of someone breaking their tibia blocking a shot... Not even sure how that's possible unless his shinpads were completely cracked prior

 

[bsu]

Wow

 

[Paul4587]

Ahh shit that’s bad. With broken tibias you’re talking 3 months minumum and up to 6 months in some cases.

Hoping he’s good to go for next season.

It seemed to hit him in the area right above his boot & below the pad. Just a lucky/unlucky shot.

 

[bsu]

April fools???

 

[Frosted Tips]

That's the most Ducks thing ever from a top prospect.

 

[AngelDuck]

Wow. So upper body strength training it is for Terry this offseason?

Good lord

 

[bsu]

Whole summer of development gone.

SMH.

 

[Terry Yake]

LOL at this team's awful luck with injuries

he'll most likely be ready for next season but he won't be where he could've been at because of this injury essentially taking away his entire offseason

 

[Fighter]

Couldn't expect anything less in a horrid season.

 

[Static]

If he takes 10 weeks that will put him around the middle of June. That isn't apoplectic, he'll be ok.

 

[ADHB]

That’s probably as good a news as you could hope for. That gives him around 2 months of activity heading into training camp. That’s not much different than if he had a healthy offseason, since most guys stay off the ice for a while in the summer.

 

[Static]

Also this. So yeah, I agree that this is the best news we could hope for after hearing it was a break.
