Training camp thread...

Broaddus said "stress reaction"... dunno what that means. They are going to "rest" him.

Stress reaction (also called acute stress disorder, psychological shock, mental shock, or simply shock) is a psychological condition arising in response to a terrifying or traumatic event. It should not be confused with the unrelated circulatory condition of shock, or the concept of shock value.

Probably need to put him down.

I figured he typoed since a stress reaction is a mental thing.

Maybe he watched a rerun of the 2009 draft?

W2W4: Cowboys training camp Day 12

August, 6, 2013

By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com


OXNARD, Calif. -- The Cowboys return to training camp for their 12th practice on Tuesday. It's going to to be a short week because the team leaves Thursday for Oakland to face the Raiders on Friday night.

What to expect today: The Cowboys will have a padded practice in the afternoon. Coach Jason Garrett said his team wants to take advantage of as many padded practices as possible. While there isn't tackling, the contact is good for the players and with the new rules that players must wear leg pads, it's another opportunity for the team to get used to it.

Who practices: Looks like right guard Mackenzy Bernadeau will get more work in practice this week. Bernadeau debuted in practice on Friday after missing the first 10 practices with a strained hamstring. Bernadeau is a projected starter at the position and with injuries toNate Livings and Kevin Kowalski, the guard position is a little thin. With no setbacks, Bernadeau should play against the Raiders. Rookie wide receiver Terrance Williams missed the preseason opener with a head injury. There is some concern regarding his availability to practice this week given it's a short week for the Cowboys. Will Jay Ratliff return? The starting defensive tackle hasn't practiced because of a hamstring injury and Garrett said he's improving. He's not expected to play Friday night in Oakland, but maybe a few practice reps are in store for him. Safety Matt Johnson (ankle) and defensive tackle Ben Bass (knee) were nicked up in the victory over the Miami Dolphins and their status for practice is uncertain.

Needs a good week: J.J. Wilcox has been good in practices but struggled in pass coverage as did the third-team safeties on Sunday night. Wilcox is a physical player whom the coaches like, but he needs to read and react better. He's not going to get released or anything, but the live game action was a good test for him.

Wanna see more: Defensive end George Selvie was solid in two training camp practices and carried that to the game Sunday night. Selvie had three solo tackles, two sacks and three quarterback hits against the Dolphins. Now here's the hard part. He doesn't have to get those numbers again, but he has to make plays in practice so the coaches don't believe it was a fluke or he had fresh legs. This Tampa 2 scheme fits Selvie's skill set. He said that's one of the reasons why he signed with the Cowboys.

Matt Johnson has stress reaction
August, 6, 2013

By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com

OXNARD, Calif. – Matt Johnson is expected to miss at least a week with a stress reaction in his left ankle suffered in Sunday’s Hall of Fame Game against Miami, according to a source.

The Cowboys play at Oakland on Friday.

Johnson was hurt in the second quarter while making a tackle and did not return to the game. X-rays at the game were negative, but he had an MRI on Monday that revealed the stress reaction. Johnson was off to a decent start in his most extensive action as a Cowboy after missing almost all of his rookie season with hamstring injuries.

Johnson has taken the second-team snaps at free safety behind Barry Church. He suffered cramps early in camp and jammed his knee in one practice but did not miss any extended time.

Surely, they are meaning stress fracture. I have never heard of a stress reaction in a bone.

So, I guess stress reaction and stress fracture are basically the same thing.

______________________________

Discussion and Definition:

The term "stress fracture", in many cases of overuse injury, is a misnomer. This term does not represent the nature and diversity of this frequently found injury. The term, “Chronic Repetitive Stress Injury of Bone”, better suits this injury in its myriad manifestations. Quite often, “stress reaction” of bone is used by sports medicine clinicians to encompass the diversity within this injury category. Unfortunately, this term, used in an office setting most often results in puzzled looks, which then lead to long explanations. This may make the term “chronic repetitive stress injury of bone” more palatable, although it is more of a tongue twister. Most patients, however, while having heard of stress fratures wonder what is meant by a “stress fracture”. Is the bone broken? Is it split into two pieces? Will it heal? How did it happen? Normal bone is deemed to not fail under a single, but not, abnormal stress load. Cumulative loads, however, do take a toll.

Runners most often have stress fracture or stress reaction injuries to the tibia, metatarsals and calcaneus. But all lower extremity bones can be affected including the femur, navicular, fibular, cuboid, pelvis, and cuneiform bones. The majority of "stress fractures" diagnosed do not demonstrate a fracture line and technically are not well termed as a stress fracture. The more severe stress injuries of bone actually result in a true fracture line and are simlar to a fatigue fracture of other materials.

Stress fractures and stress reactions, both repetitive stress injuries of bone (RSI of Bone) is a reaction of bone to repetitive forces. These forces may be either compressive, tensile or complex in nature. The initial injury seems to be to the bone matrix itself and is hard to clinically measure or detect.This injury is caused by repetitive stress and overload to the bone. Bone resporption may be taking place without significant bone production. The forces contributing to the injury include both direct impact and also forces generated by the “pull” of ligaments and tendons on the bone.

Injury may first be seen on a bone scan (scintigraphy) which demonstrates metabolic activity of bone. Then on an MRI, and finally the injury may eventually be visible on an x-ray.

So this is what it would have felt like if Michael Jordan or Lebron tore their ACL's in consecutive seasons. Hate to see the great one's cut short by injuries.

Garrett said Matt Johnson is day to day but could be out until next week with foot/ankle issue.

Garrett calls Wilcox an example of inconsistent play. Says he needs to run. All the time. Can't hit what you don't get to.

Garrett said he had "a come to Jesus meeting" with younger players Tuesday morning about lackluster special teams play against Miami.

Jason Garrett on not calling plays: "it actually felt great." Liked how everybody worked.

Garrett liked Wilber in first pass-rush action. 'I thought he played more physically than we had seen him play.'

Jason Garrett was not happy with J.J. Wilcox's performance in the game. Said he needs to play better. Was given that message emphatically

Oh snap, calling players out.

Is it me or does Garrett seem more publicly critical of players this camp? I like it.

I agree about Wilcox. He sucked against Miami IMO.
