Neck Sprain
 

Is it a risk playing a guy that is probable with a neck sprain? What is the worse case scenario, and how likely is it?

Thanks. Still learning :confused:

In my experience there are some injuries that are more susceptable than others to being aggravated during a game. This is one of them. How likely? Impossible to say.

The worst case scenario is he gets repetitive concussion syndrome and is out for 99 weeks (right after you gave a long term contract with a huge bonus).

Knee and neck injuries are the ones to be the most careful about. Other joint injuries like elbow, wrist and ankle problems are a little iffy to play on, but at a lesser risk IMHO.

is anyone sitting on a super secret FOF2K4/Medical Chart they would be willing to leak????

Some of the injuries I am obvlious about - still crack up about the tobacco withdrawl syndrome.

There isn't one that I know of. In my experience it's not possible to predict injuries/aggravation of injuries/long-term effects.

The rule I follow, and the one that I think many others basically follow, is:

doubtful: inactivate - the performance degradation and risk of further injury are too great.

questionable: it depends on the importance of the player, the importance of the game, the quality of the backup, and the type of injury. It's a risk/benefit analysis.

probable: almost always ignore the injury and play. The major exception is a guy who's probable after coming back from a serious injury.
