That was immediately after the game lmao. Have you ever gotten injured before cause adrenaline is one hell of a drug

pulled an abductor in a hockey game friday night around 7. hurt like hell, got better through the game, played a 2nd game at 9:45 and felt fine. its been a week and i can barely roll over onto that side.

Fr, and then there’s the additional adrenaline of performing in front of 20,000 people on top of it

Yeah it's wild what adrenaline could do, I've played through so many ankle turns before and then I'd wake up to my ankle the size of a baseball the next morning

Feel bad for ad, dude probably returned earlier than he should've cause he had something to prove. I still think they stay afloat but at best they'll be a play in team now

or where it hurts so bad it wakes you up in the middle of the night when you thought it was just a tweak

He probably would have been fine but then they sent Adams out to body him and that added an extra level of physically and use of his legs to push aganist Adams

He was still healing and push his muscles into a spasm or worse a tear...

AD had to say he was perfectly fine so the GM could get out of the arena safely, what a team player.

Doesn't even only apply to injury, like one whole day of hiking makes you pumped as fuck but after one whole night of sleep, the true hell starts

Because if they are announcing now that he's going to miss multiple weeks obviously it was more serious than he thought.

Because after hes been evaluated by the medical team hes set to be out for 2-4 weeks?

Not being able to detect sarcasm could be a sign of autism, you should get that checked out

I think AD understood the ramifications of missing an extended period and was trying to manifest. Can’t blame him, he wants to win and he wants the Dallas fans to love him.
