I think what Gibbs was saying was that Brunell is a walking injury and that this will nag him all season. However the thread subtitle is a bit misleading.

it was said with tounge firmly planted in cheek... but it does follow the logic of what most here believe, so its not that misleading

Quote:
A calf strain can be caused by:
* stretching the calf muscles beyond the amount of tension or stress that they can withstand
* suddenly putting stress on the calf muscles when they are not ready for the stress
* using the calf muscles too much on a certain day * a blow to the calf muscles
Risk factors that increase your chances of straining your calf include:
* sports that require bursts of speed, such as: running, hurdles, basketball, soccer, football, or rugby[/b]
Quote:
Calf Strain
Grade 1
* stretching with some microtearing of muscle fibers
* recovery can be complete in about 2 weeks
Grade 2
* partial tearing of muscle fibers * recovery can take up to 1-2 months
Grade 3
* complete tearing (rupture) of muscle fibers * recovery can take more than 3 months
* surgery may be needed to repair the torn muscle fibers (very rare)[/b]

"Basically, he just got kicked in the calf. I don't think there's anything to that," Gibbs said. "He felt it was swelling up. I don't think it's anything big."
Brunell's injury, the team said, provided little more than a scare. Brunell, Tyer and Gibbs all said he would practice tonight. [/b]
