Title: McCarron looks fine in Monday’s practice Post by: pmull on October 16, 2012, 09:51:46 AM Report and short video from The Daily Bama blog.
Quote Alabama opened the gates for us for only about eight minutes, and Tide quarterback AJ McCarron jogged, threw and worked the same as he does when he isn’t coming off a knee injury. He looked fine. Better than fine. In fact, the only indication that he had any problem at all was the black brace on his right knee, which is the one he hurt Saturday. http://blogs.tennesseevalleynow.com/bamablog/2012/10/15/mccarron-looks-fine-in-mondays-practice/ Title: Re: McCarron looks fine in Monday’s practice Post by: Catch Prothro on October 16, 2012, 10:20:48 AM Report and short video from The Daily Bama blog. #+Quote Alabama opened the gates for us for only about eight minutes, and Tide quarterback AJ McCarron jogged, threw and worked the same as he does when he isn’t coming off a knee injury.

I kinda hope so. Take another day and make sure the knee is a-OK. Tough stretch of games coming here.

Will it be painful or keep him from performing up to par? I wouldn't want to see him get hurt anymore. I have never had a problem like that. Just curious. RTR!
Title: Re: McCarron looks fine in Monday’s practice Post by: McBaman on October 16, 2012, 04:50:41 PM The "tear" rumor has been shot down by two family sources. See the other thread on this subject.
But whatever the truth may be, AJ's knee will be an 'item' for the rest of the season.

But, I am no doctor but have had the same problem
Title: Re: McCarron looks fine in Monday’s practice Post by: bama57 on October 16, 2012, 05:13:07 PM A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries. Any activity that causes you to forcefully twist or rotate your knee, especially when putting the pressure of your full weight on it, can lead to a torn meniscus.
Each of your knees has two menisci — C-shaped pieces of cartilage that act like a cushion between your shinbone and your thighbone. A torn meniscus causes pain, swelling and stiffness. Your knee might feel unstable, as if it's going to collapse. Conservative treatment — such as rest, ice and medication — is sometimes enough to relieve the pain of a torn meniscus and give the injury time to heal on its own. In other cases, however, a torn meniscus requires surgical repair. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/torn-meniscus/DS00932 Title: Re: McCarron looks fine in Monday’s practice Post by: ricky023 on October 16, 2012, 06:47:21 PM A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries.
