Just thought I would get a jump on the doom and gloom crowd. I'm sure he will be fine and not be one of the .005% that have lingering problems with their groin after surgery.
CJ Beathard - May Never Walk Again....
- Thread starter WinOneThisCentury
- Start date
He'll lead us to the National Championship from his wheel chair. I'm not concerned.
He was walking yesterday and enjoying the basketball game just a few days after surgery. 
Should back to normal in about 6 weeks.

Are we sure that's not Glenn Frey?
He must really be tall to look like he is standing up while sitting in his wheelchair!He was walking yesterday and enjoying the basketball game just a few days after surgery.

It's a miracle......Now seriously, He really sucked it up this year, Many, Many Pro athletes/Football players shut it down and have the sports hernia surgery as soon as the injury is diagnosed, CJ quite literally took one for the team this year, I sure hope he can have a healthy season next year, he deserves it.
A hernia diagnosis can be much different for each individual. I was completely unaware I had one until I was diagnosed because I felt no discomfort - it was found during a routine physical. However for many others it can cause debilitating pain without the option of toughing it out.
I have no idea how much pain it caused Beathard this year. It was clear he was in a lot of pain throughout the season, but I don't know which one of his various injuries was the cause of such pain. It was an extremely gutty performance by him last year, and hopefully next season we can keep him healthy.
Yea pros do it because they still get paid while they have the surgery. They can get paid and sit.. Or get paid and try and play with the pain. Which one would you choose?? I'll give props to cjb for playing through it.
Were you diagnosed with a "sports" hernia or just a general hernia? It can definitely vary. Also were you sprinting around getting hit by D1 college athletes. TIA.

I'll always remember the Iowa QB before Beathard who elected to run out of bounds at the Wisconsin three yard line and Iowa trailing 14-6. That QB was healthy. But an injured CJ, rather than running out of bounds, leaped into the end zone to score against Indiana. Yes, those are two images I'll never forget because they show the Grand Canyon sized difference between the two...not to mention their won-loss records.
A healthy Beathard all season next year, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Hawkeyes at 12-0 again, but this time with a Big Ten championship and CFP spot.
Oh, and no, CJ won't be doing any more walking...he'll be running. You can count on that.
