http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... -meniscus/
The meniscus is an articular cartilage that lines the knee joint. Overtime, especially with contact sports, that cartilage, which is a primary shock absorber, can get worn down. When the tissue gets beat down, any planting or quick cutting can lead to a tear. I didn't see the mechanism of injury for Jadeveon, but I assume he either got blocked and his knee bent awkwardly or he was cutting and it tore.PurpleMustReign wrote:
Is that a conditioning injury? I know that has been an issue with him in the past.
I think he jumped up to try and swat a ball and landed awkwardly.HardcoreVikesFan wrote: The meniscus is an articular cartilage that lines the knee joint.

That's what I said. I guess part of the video wasn't enough proof, wasn't quite bad enough. Embarrassing.Dirtyswabby wrote:Ray Rice Cut and suspended indefinitely-------- Bout Time NFL.
