CaptainHook Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson has a detached tendon that connects one of his adductor (groin) muscles to his pubic bone, according to team sources. Tomlinson has been listed as a game-time decision against the Indianapolis Colts in Saturday night's AFC wild-card playoff game with a groin strain, and sources say he is going to attempt to play because physical therapy has given him some relief. His playing status is expected to be determined after he tests the injury during a pregame warmup. Doctors discovered through scans that Tomlinson had an "avulsion" on one of three adductor muscles, meaning a tendon that connects the muscle to the pubic bone has detached, team sources said. The injury can affect Tomlinson's ability to make sharp cuts and other movements. It is unknown if Tomlinson eventually will require surgery to reattach the tendon. from espn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdrudge Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It's detached(the tendon). That sounds like surgery is required eventually.I'm no doctor, but I don't think tendons reattach themselves. If it was a partial tear then maybe it could heal, but not an actual detachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just got back from breakfast at the local sports bar and the executive chef for the Chargers told me that LT didn't even stay at the hotel last night. Whatever that means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever that means. Maybe he was trying to detach the" other side "tendon?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Wow I only strained my groin playing basketball a couple years ago, I wasn't able to play for a few games because of the pain. No way he plays and if he does he won't be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Reading posts on other forums that Norv Turner said it's a strain not a tear and he will play, but his effectiveness is a question until they see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just showed him walking into the stadium. Just looked like nothing was wrong with him while carrying his bags. I hope it's not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because yes you said the EXACT same thing I said........... We both ended up being right.... Edited January 4, 2009 by Flip_Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 No problem flip as I definitely did not do that or post for that reason ....and its only sproles in the 2nd half so we were right Good night bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ripping Isle for no reason, then me for wondering if indeed he was going to be ineffective after gaining 25 yards and scoring a TD in the first 9 minutes of the game? Go have yourself another Colt 45 and relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
