Yeah.. the timing doesn’t make sense on that.
He didn’t throw on the Spring, he already got the treatment.
Based on the previous reports and timing, I think it’s more likely he’s been dealing with it since at least last season.
I mean.. this report from 2015 discusses an elbow injury…

Somehow, Lions' Lombardi didn't know of Stafford injury

Television cameras caught Lombardi and Stafford sitting next to each other on the Lions' sideline after the Ingram hit.

Well the article you posted isn't tendonitis. Sounds like he took a bad hit. So I'm not sure they are linked.

As for the timing. Yeah it's fuzzy. But he got the injection in May I believe. If it were something he were dealing with last season then I'd think he would've gotten the procedure done sooner to avoid what's happening right now.

Whatever the case though Mcvay has been very up front about it so far, as opposed to with Gurley where we never got a clear designation of what it was or how severe , etc. This truly sounds like what they're calling it. Tennis elbow that Stafford thought was completely healed but needed more time. After all, he was a full go to start camp. (I remember pulling my groin in pre-season for high school basketball lol. Anyways, missed the first few weeks of camp and came back only to realize that I needed a few more weeks. I thought I was healed....until I tried to participate in our first cardio drill). I truly think they're being cautious.

I do remember last year during the season several times listening to the countless media I follow at several different points the mentioned Stafford's elbow and gave him a break because of it. When, who, and the long term results from it I cannot recall or don't know.

Calling it Tendonitis

Last year Dak got sat out most of camp with sore arm as well.


From what Rappaport is saying he doesn't think the staff is acting like its that serious.

Tendon: tissue that connects muscle to bone (i.e. in a joint, such as an elbow).
itis: Inflammation.

Tendonitis: duh.

(Don't know who Ian Rappoport's source is who added the adjective "bad." At this point, don't really care.)

I, by the way, currently am suffering from a persistent low grade epidermal abrasion of the patella region requiring topical antibacterial treatment and infection prevention measures (aka I have a boo-boo on my knee and I applied neosporin and a band-aid).

And Jourdan said, other than the first day, he’s thrown well.

I’m not overly concerned.

Maybe the best way to say I see this is that it’s not nothing.

Tendonitis is a condition that can be *caused* by an injury.

I think the fact that “elbow injury” has been something Stafford has dealt with more than once is much more than coincidence.

As to the timing? Maybe they took the approach of giving it time to “settle down” after the season… but the pain persisted, so they moved forward.

Kinda like Ramsey.

Yeah well we will definitely have to see. Fingers crossed

Yeah same here. Didn't slow him down TOO much last year. Hope he's okay.

The problem here is the "whisper down the lane" effect. Here's an example from RotoWorld

Rapoport added that Stafford underwent a procedure to fix the issue in the offseason. He made it very clear that Stafford didn't have surgery. The difference between a procedure and surgery seems like PR spin.​

​

That comment is just ignorant. Stafford had an injection (PRP). That is most definitely a "procedure" and NOT a "surgery." Nonetheless, those who read this and don't know better may conclude that he, in fact, had an actual surgery and that the team is denying/downplaying it.
