Mike FF Today 607 Posted July 25, 2017 Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon suffered a meniscus tear and according to Ian Rapoport, Dixon will miss the entire season. Dixon was already going to serve a 4-game suspension to start the season. This should solidify the roles of Terrance West and Danny Woodhead, especially since it sounds like the team is going to sign Bobby Rainey for depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,750 Posted July 26, 2017 Crap....there goes snaring Terrance West as a sneaky 4 week starter really late for those grabbing Doug Martin earlier. Sonofabitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 585 Posted July 26, 2017 Crap....there goes snaring Terrance West as a sneaky 4 week starter really late for those grabbing Doug Martin earlier. Sonofabitch Yeah that was my plan too. West will still be priced reasonably I think. but you are picking him at least a round earlier. Maybe two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seafoam1 1,863 Posted July 26, 2017 Time for them to trade for Hyde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted July 26, 2017 Time for them to trade for Hyde. As steeler fan would hate that. As dynasty owner of Hyde I would love it. 49ers are so stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted July 26, 2017 My recent trade for West looks even better. I am also very happy I held onto Woodhead instead of trading him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 585 Posted July 26, 2017 Time for them to trade for Hyde. well, this is a team that could use Hyde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smileseers 54 Posted July 26, 2017 I'm not buying the storyline here just quite yet. The Ravens have not put Dixon on season ending IR yet. A meniscus injury recovers usually in 4-6 weeks. Dixon is already suspended for the first 4 games. It would be 10 weeks before he is eligible to return. It doesn't add up to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dixon is already suspended for the first 4 games. It would be 10 weeks before he is eligible to return. It doesn't add up to me. There are 2 types of meniscus injuries. I am reciting from memory so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that the most common form of this injury requires a 'trim' of the torn part outside of the knee and that one takes 4-6 weeks and is the most common form of the injury another is where it is torn and is inside the knee itself. This takes a much longer recovery period and is more likely to lead to complications. It is a far more serious injury. Like I said, I'm recalling from memory so if my details are anywhere incorrect, I invite any and all of you to correct me on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted July 26, 2017 iirc the trim is the shorter timetable. the repair is much longer and he'll miss the season. up arrow woody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skanker 0 Posted July 26, 2017 Definitely Carlos Hyde time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cousinal111 57 Posted July 26, 2017 I thought of trading back in my deep PPR Keeper league to get Woodhead and add a pick. I don't think that's possible any longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted July 26, 2017 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/07/25/report-kenneth-dixon-out-for-the-year/ Dixon needed his medial meniscus repaired, not trimmed, requiring a 4-5 month recovery time, according to Rapoport. It was Dixon’s third knee injury in the past 12 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
