Injury Report: Vol. 7 (Updates in 1st Post) | Clean Out Day

Technically from what ive heard is a pulled muscle is a tear. Just a very small one.

Having both pulled and torn my hamstring, there's a significant difference between them. One hurts and you're slightly limited in what you can do - movement wise. The other hurts like a SOB and you can barely move, and not without pain.

Your correct. Any muscle strain is a muscle tear. There are just different grades to classify severity.

A torn hamstring and came back as quick as he did? Not only is that amazing but it's really amazing he didn't re-injure the hammy. Crazy.

"It didn't really heal the way it should," Hagelin said. "It should take 4-6 weeks, but after five weeks it wasn't healing much in there. I took another week off and stuff and going into the Washington series, I wanted to get back and play. It didn't feel great at first. It wasn't until probably the Nashville series where I actually felt like I could do what I wanted to do, where my leg felt somewhat normal."

Kuhn said he had a groin injury in his clean out day interview.
