McAllister expects to be completely recovered in time for the team's off-season mini-camps and training sessions. April 12, 2007, 01:10 Cardinals :: RB RB E. James Recovering From Minor Knee Surgery Darren Urban, East Valley Tribune - The Arizona Cardinals recently announced that running back Edgerrin James underwent minor surgery on his knee during the off-season in order to drain fluid from his knee. He may miss at least a portion of the team's upcoming mini-camps. However, he is expected to fully recover before the team opens Training Camp.

Bronco Billy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Same minor offseason surgeries that we see every year. They are meaningless & predominantly remove tissue that has become an annnoyance or prevent a very slight range of motion. Funny how the guys always wait until mini-camp time to get this stuff done, huh? Edited April 12, 2007 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Funny how the guys always wait until mini-camp time to get this stuff done, huh? I never understood how surgeries and the like are even a player's option. The team should always control the timing of these procedures. If the player chooses a late date to have this taken care of and then misses training camp/games because of it, he should lose pay until he is back. As a player...this is your livelihood...why take a chance on not being able to heal in time for camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMRogers Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 my understanding of their pay is that it's real minimal during offseason - they get paid per game during the season not saying wrong or right (although the players would probably say - surgery is a job related issue, not cutting into off-time, and while the salary isn't comparable, i'd understand the point) On another related issue - anyone else think Edge has a huge year?

MrTed46 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Both of these guys are on my dynasty team... I had Duece on mine glad I got rid of him. He is a good player when healthy but he burned me a few times in my FF life so I am glad I parted with him. Now that I gave him up he is going to break records...of his knee one or the other though.

Last year was the first year I had him and I got him on the cheap... just 8 percent of my entire cap, so Im rolling with him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egret Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You know how Edge love the pre-season. I can only imagine what he thinks about mini-camp. Maybe now that Edge got the phat contract, he needed a new way to miss mini-camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
