Any Insiders Know What's Wrong w/ Granowski?

Not an insider… but it has to be a labrum. A rotator cuff tear would’ve been very difficult for him to play through and docs wouldn’t be confident it would be ready by June. Meniscal tear would’ve just been taken care of last year. ACL would’ve been very difficult, nearly impossible, to play through. Hip labrum would not be ready by June. My 2 cents…

If it’s that, then it’s his non throwing shoulder, because he wouldn’t good to go in June if it were his throwing shoulder.

A SLAP tear or a different favorably located Labral tear would absolutely be ready to go by June on a throwing arm. IF it is a labral tear like I suspect, and the docs told Kirk it will be ready by June, it will be fine. It’s not like an ACL reconstruction where the athlete needs to learn to trust the reconstruction AND get over the pain from the quad tendon graft. It seems like Cade took forever to get over the quad pain and by the time he got into the season he never trusted his knee.

A meniscal repair takes longer to heal than an excision, so a tear is still a possibility. Another option is a sports hernia.
 
I have it on great authority from a guy my ex knew that talked to a brothers drug dealing ex girlfriend hooker that knew a third cousin who dated a Ferentz cousin that knew an ex med school dropout that knew a person from the Dakotas that it's nothing serious. Probably just a case of gout.

There is no way it’s a rotator cuff. It’d be at least 9-10 months before that shoulder could take hits to it after surgery.

Labrum tears. Not good.

The optics of this are awful. Once again hit up the fun base for donations to bring in an injured QB who will be recovering over the spring and summer and won’t get on to the field until 60 days before the first game?

If it wasn’t Iowa football I would be shocked. I hope it’s different but I have seen this movie before.
 
IU s QB led them to an 11-1 regular season while playing with a torn acl the whole year.

Let's wait and see how mg recovers this spring before assuming the worst.
 
Which shoulder? I assume throwing shoulder because of the initial vagueness.
I've had that surgery before. Even if it is the other shoulder it could impact balance. Throwing involves the whole body. It took years before I was back to 80 percent and I'm pretty athletic.

My guess he still wants a game manager that won't wing it.

Modern braces are very light weight and can keep the joint in place, though sweat makes them move. He must not have had menescus or damage.

ACL tears vary widely. Stability of the Joint has so many factors. Meniscus involvement usually means even more instability. My nephew unknowingly tore his ACL in HS. He played until the meniscus went several weeks later That's when things became very unstable. He didn't know the ACL was torn weeks earlier until MRI fornthe meniscus. The Surgeon could tell the ACL tear was old from the scope procedure.
 
Yup throwing shoulder.
Since I know nothing about this injury, I looked it up. I still do not know crap. :cool:

Labrum surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that repairs a torn labrum in the shoulder. The labrum is a soft tissue rim that deepens the shoulder socket and helps the upper arm bone move smoothly. A torn labrum can cause pain and limit shoulder movement.

How long does it take to fully recover from torn labrum surgery?

The recovery depends upon many factors, such as where the tear was located, how severe it was and how good the surgical repair was. It is believed that it takes at least four to six weeks for the labrum to reattach itself to the rim of the bone, and probably another four to six weeks to get strong.
