FA Marlon Mack Has an Enticing ADP, But What Should We Expect in His Comeback from an Achilles Injury?
Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD
February 19, 2021
Are Achilles tendon tears still devastating injuries for running backs? Dr. Jeffrey E. Budoff answers this question and tells us what it means for Marlon Mack. Traditionally, Achilles tendon tears have been a devastating injury for NFL running backs, robbing them of the speed and burst necessary to play at a competitive level. The Achilles tendon is like a tightly tensioned rope that transmits the…...
How Serious Is Jalen Reagor’s Shoulder Injury?
Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD
September 1, 2020
Jalen Reagor, Philadelphia’s star rookie wide receiver, dislocated his shoulder at practice reaching out to tackle a defender who was returning an interception (why are offensive players tackling during turnovers in practice?). He shouldn’t need surgery, at least during the season, and was given a 3-4 week timeline. Therefore, he’ll miss Week 1 and probably Week 2. He could play Week 3 and should be…...

Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD

Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD
June 17, 2020
Chris Carson, Seattle’s lead running back, fractured his hip on December 30, 2019, playing against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. His hip fracture did not require surgery.

Should We Be Worried About Jarvis Landry’s Hip Surgery?
Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD
June 11, 2020
Jarvis Landry’s hip started bothering him during the 2019 preseason training camp. He was held out of much of camp and practiced sparingly throughout the season.

Should We Be Worried About Ben Roethlisberger’s Elbow?
Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD
May 18, 2020
Ben Roethlisberger injured his elbow during Week 2 of the 2019 season. He underwent an MRI, surgery and was placed on injured reserve. His back-ups, Mason Rudolph and Devlin “Duck” Hodges, performed suboptimally following Roethlisberger’s injury. I’m being kind here. The Steelers are regarded by many fantasy analysts as a ‘bounce-back’ or ‘buy low’ offense for the 2020 season. But the ability of Pittsburgh’s skill…...

Jeffrey E. Budoff, MD
