McCarron looks fine in Monday’s practice

Report and short video from The Daily Bama blog.

Alabama opened the gates for us for only about eight minutes, and Tide quarterback AJ McCarron jogged, threw and worked the same as he does when he isn’t coming off a knee injury.

He looked fine. Better than fine. In fact, the only indication that he had any problem at all was the black brace on his right knee, which is the one he hurt Saturday.

Still, I wonder if he took it easy after the press availability ended.  I kinda hope so.  Take another day and make sure the knee is a-OK.  Tough stretch of games coming here.

RTR. But I imagine those buzzards in Knoxville are putting a bounty on that knee. Our OL needs to be perfect Saturday.

Well, it looks like I was right after all.

OK he has this tear if I understand right? Will it be painful or keep him from performing up to par? I wouldn't want to see him get hurt anymore. I have never had a problem like that. Just curious. RTR!

The "tear" rumor has been shot down by two family sources.  See the other thread on this subject.

But whatever the truth may be, AJ's knee will be an 'item' for the rest of the season.

depends on the tear,sometimes there is some swelling, and can be distracting.I would think he will be able to stay focused and maybe even finish the season before he has anything done to it. But, I am no doctor but have had the same problem

A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries. Any activity that causes you to forcefully twist or rotate your knee, especially when putting the pressure of your full weight on it, can lead to a torn meniscus.

Each of your knees has two menisci — C-shaped pieces of cartilage that act like a cushion between your shinbone and your thighbone. A torn meniscus causes pain, swelling and stiffness. Your knee might feel unstable, as if it's going to collapse.

Conservative treatment — such as rest, ice and medication — is sometimes enough to relieve the pain of a torn meniscus and give the injury time to heal on its own. In other cases, however, a torn meniscus requires surgical repair.
