an opinion on TD's injury


Captain Morgan

this guy is only going by what he saw on video, but it's encouraging

 

By video, Davis has an isolated ulna fracture, commonly referred to as a “nightstick fracture” from a direct blow. As TE Daniel Fells leaped, his knee “karate chopped” Davis’ forearm much like a martial arts demonstration where a black belt snaps a piece of wood. Such a mechanism of injury is unlikely to also break the accompanying radius bone. If both forearm bones were broken, there would be no way for Davis to play.

Davis was placed in a short wrap/splint, indicating a relatively stable isolated break. An unstable forearm fracture requires long arm immobilization of the joint above (elbow) and below (wrist).
