'Greek' Provides Injury Summary On Brandon Marshall

by TheSportsGuru on Mar 25, 2008 2:45 PM MDT in Headlines

Head Trainer Steve Antonopulos provided the following summary regarding the arm injury to WR Brandon Marshall --

Brandon Marshall sustained right forearm lacerations to one artery, one vein, one nerve, two tendons and three muscles.

All have been repaired, and his right forearm and elbow will be immobilized for six weeks.

Rehabilitation will begin in six weeks. Full recovery is expected to take 3-4 months.

3-4 months from today puts Marshall on track to be back right around the start of Training Camp. It can never be easy, can it. Needless to say, I am hoping the facilities Marshall will be rehabbing are clean. Just ask the Cleveland Browns what a nasty case of Staph can do....

Great news.

The fact that Denver has the full medical report and still hasn't gone after Marshall makes me tend to lean further into the camp that Marshall is being honest about the cause of the injuries.

At this point the nerve concerns me more than the other injuries. Nerve damage can be harder to assess. But if Greek feels good about than so do I.

I think we dodged a bullet on this one. And thank God that Marshall used his time wisely and spent the previous several weeks working on his game with Cutler and Scheffler. His reloading season won't be a total loss.
