Grant Newsome is Walking

Submitted by mgoDAB on December 1st, 2016 at 4:25 PM

Just saw this video on Twitter. Pretty awesome sight to see Grant back on his feet. He's got a bulky brace on his knee and he's walking gingerly, but it's great to see the progress he's made! https://twitter.com/grant_newsome/status/804433629090816000 *On mobile, sorry for the formatting.

Based on how long he was hospitalized, it's reasonable to assume that a stick of dynamite got stuck inside his knee cap and exploded.

The refs from Ohio would still miss that call ... even if they tripped over the fuse.

...the refs from The Game would certainly have made the right call: Unsportsmalike Conduct against Grant for 15 yards, and when one approached Harbs to provide an explanation, there would be no patting of asses afterward.

As was mentioned, he wasn't in the hospital for 30+ days because of the ligament damage - there was other stuff damaged as well. It's awesome to see him up and about.

Also- Can't we get him some shorts that aren't red and gray?

So glad to see him up and walking! However as a nurse I'd love to see that kinda hit/block made illegal. It's dangerous for legs and heads.

They should make purposely diving at a blocker's knees illegal. No reason for that.

Must have been some nerve damage, clearly has drop foot. Jaylon Smith went through something similar. Best of luck to Grant with his rehab!

damage can heal and in some cases returns to 100%. But that is not always the case. Sometimes the healing is incomplete.

But it takes a LONG time. So the rehab will be slow.

Maybe he can play again. Hope so. Too soon to know.

Most important thing is that he has a very positive attitude, judging from his Twitter.

Whatever happens with football, he seems like a quality guy with good head on his shoulders and, therefore, he has a bright future.

Seems like it could be some common fib n damage. Hopefully it heals back to 100% or close!

Great to see him up and walking. It is a reminder of how severe some of their injuries are. Need to continue to do everything they can to keep the players safe.

May be good to fire the fox. Also if you're using a bunch of extensions(Or are they plug-ins in FF I forget), I'd look there first.

He didn't redshirt...I wonder if we could do some kind of medical for him this year and then a normal redshirt next year. Or vice versa. Basically can he get this year and next and be a 6th year candidate. Problem is I don't think you can put in for all of that this early in his career. But ideally I'd love to see him skip next year and not lose the elibility. Come back in 2018 fully healthy for 2 more seasons.

I could see 1 year to let things fully heal, but if he skips 2, that means he'll go almost 3 years without playing a real game. I dunno...I can't see that being a good scenerio.
