Real unfortunate. It was early in the year and he looked like he was about to have a good rookie year.
Sounds like it happened through simple engagement. Must have been ready to go.
he dont need that thing,,, i dont even know where mine is / went..
I broke a kneecap into three pieces as a kid...
After several weeks I felt fine... till I hit 40, lol... now that thing kills me

Good to have the mystery behind the injury in the rear view mirror.
Speedy recovery wishes.

That is one you don't hear very often. Is that usually a contact or non-contact injury?
That sucks in many ways. Keeps Jones at right. Dan has quietly played well. After all the adversity he’s been through,sure would be nice to see him have a good season. Contract time for him as well. Decisions,decisions.
DeCastro had the same injury and returned same season although DD's injury was during pre-season. He could be back sometime in January. If we keep winning we will see meaningful January football.
It is both er can be either. Sometimes there’s associated injuries within the problem as well. The recovery process seems to not be a quick one. You also have to be careful about what you do it physical therapy to avoid an increase chance of re-injury.
I am just a medical coder I don’t even play a Dr. on TV but my guess with his past injury history you don’t see him back this season. That includes the playoffs…
Unfortunate for the player ......... speedy recovery
The only fear I have on OL personnel injuries
would be hearing and Down goes Frazier ......... that kid is playing well

We don’t live in our fears!
There is fear that that kneecap injury could also end his career, several things pending.
Sad to lose such a promising player, but also sadder he may be facing life's work situation as well.
Salute the nation
I think they have seen enough cases in today’s medical field that the odds are lower that it would be career ending. There is sure some risk involved. NFL players have access to the best surgeons and rehab. Depending what is with it and or where it is located I am sure the percentages vary.
So ultimately I don’t know. I do know that the chance of re-injury is higher after the first incident. So his career might not be as long as they are we hope for. And should plan accordingly…
I was concerned about Fautanu being inury-prone when the Steelers drafted him. Not surprised that he's already out for the season.
Well that is crap news!! Sheesh

welp...i guess Jones will be getting some more reps. think Jones stays and RT and Fautanu goes LT when he comes back? thinking of next season too.(just for the heck it, not worried about next season right now)
Has there been some speculation/fear that could be the case? I am not being a smart@ss, but I haven't seen or heard anything of that sort.

Add the next three words to finish that sentence...... several things pending.
Until the MRI and medical staff gives verdict, anything is possible. Kneecap injury is very serious, more than many think. I'm sure today's science has improved that, so lets hope for the best.

Fautanu is a natural RT, Jones a natural LT. So I'm sure this is the plan from the coaching staff...
