Tomlinson’s Injury to Require Six More Weeks to Heal

January 31, 2008

In one of more vindicating news stories I’ve seen this season, San Diego Chargers superstar running back LaDainian Tomlinson has been diagnosed with a second-degree sprain to his MCL.  The injury will require at least six more weeks to fully heal and will then actually require some slight rehab work to get LT back to peak playing condition again.  Apparently the injury was so severe that it has actually caused slight injury to other parts of LT’s leg that are near the sprain, such as his hamstring and quadriceps.  While I am certainly no doctor, this sounds like a very harsh injury.

I hope this does shut up all the doubters (myself included) who questioned LT’s heart after the AFC Championship game.  Tomlinson has been the heart and soul of this Chargers team for years, and if the man could not play football, then he simply could not play football.  This injury is exactly the type to keep an explosive player like LT from doing all the things that make him LT in the first place.  You cannot fault the man for doing what he felt was best for his team.  LT sat out because he felt that gave his team the best chance to win.  That’s all anyone can ask of a player - that they do what they feel is always best for the team.
