[MrBubba]

Profootballtall reporting he had microfracture surgery on knee in high school.  I never heard about that prior to draft

Just saw that also.  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/19/jalen-ramsey-previously-had-microfracture-surgery-on-right-knee/

As intense as the draft is, how can microfracture knee surgery on a top 5 pick, even if 6 years ago, not be a known commodity?  

 

Here is the story on ESPN a year ago about his early surgery http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/12627947/florida-state-cornerback-jalen-ramsey-embracing-another-challenge

For your scouting department to not catch a surgery if that magnitude is irresponsible.  That's a huge red flag.

Maybe instead of Jalen he thought it said Jameis, both playing in Florida.  Injuries suck regardless, but in no way is this good for the Panthers or good period.

Serious injuries to players from other teams brings me great joy.

Not a big deal if he was a vet. But for a rookie to miss most of offseason stuff really sets him behind. 

Meh...as long as he's there by the start of camp he'll be fine. He's a beast.

Jacksonville is cursed.  Roaring Riot, whats your new avatar? It kind of looks like the outline of this

I think that this is what made Funchess a force to be reckoned with in Dec and Jan, but made him not much of a factor early on. A minor injury can definitely slow development.

Word now that Jags rookie DE Jonathan Woodard (7th round pick) tore his achilles.

Dang, these dudes are snakebit.

That's terrible. 

I know we had our share of injuries last year in pre-season (Hill, KB & Frank), and given that Hill & KB both blew their knees on the practice fields at Wofford in non-contact, there was some question about our field.  But generally it seemed a freak thing, not the field. .... so ..... we of all teams & fan bases know that one shouldn't be too quick to jump to conclusions or judgment, but if the Jags continue getting more rookie injuries, they'll have to seriously evaluate their strength & conditioning program, the drills they're doing, their practice fields, etc.
