Slauson played season with bad shoulder injurieswww.cbssports.com Posted on: February 16, 2012 9:48 pm

Jets guard Matt Slauson started every game this year despite suffering a torn labrum, rotator cuff and bicep in his left shoulder.

Obviously, Slauson played the season in a cringe-worthy amount of pain after injuring his shoulder in December 2010, and after the season, he underwent surgery on his arm that will keep him out for five to six months.

“I knew something was wrong, but I was like, 'OK, I'll keep on playing as long as I can play,' and I was able to get through it all," Slauson told the paper. "I felt like I had a fairly successful year personally with it. So I'm really excited about next year without having pain."

A torn labrum, rotator cuff and bicep. That's pretty incredible. I don't think I could put my shirt on with those injuries.

He used a euphemism :D $.02

GBR

but he did talk some smack about Suh which could result in further muscle damage :) accidentally

 
I heard after Slauson made the comments, Suh payed him a visit and told him to take it all back.

I guess Suh twisted his arm until he confessed he made the whole thing up.

:sarcasm

 
I know how bad a torn rotator cuff is to have to work with, but add in the rest of the injuries he played with, that's one tough dude. I know Cortisone shots don't help much, at least it didn't for me.

GBR!!!

 
Pain killers, cortisone shots....but keep in mind, cortisone shots can be very dangerous to joint capsules. Typically, 3 cortisone shots are administered a year to the same joint, over that amount and your asking for a tendon/ligament complex to rupture.
