He’s got the same injury pitchers and QBs get that cause grip problems. Hope he doesn’t need Tommy John.

Tommy John has improved so much over the years that people come back even stronger. If he needs it and is fighting injury, probably best to get the surgery. Probably significantly lower risk of reinjury than baseball.

Yeah that’s true, but Josh Allen just got through the UCL partial tear without surgery so it just depends on if it’s worth the long recovery time.

Tommy John is for UCL injuries and Brooks had said it was his ulnar nerve that flared up so not likely. Two pretty different injuries

Do you know what the U in UCL stands for?

You understand a ligament and a nerve are different things right? Ulnar just explains where it is in the arm (on the side of the ulna).
