Apparently suffered in mid july, will sit out Italy trip and be reevaluated when the team returns. Surgery is definitely an option according to Quinn.

Possibly a redshirt? Could be a blessing in disguise.

From what I have heard about that kind of shoulder injury is that they often never fully heal. My lifting buddy is a college offensive lineman, NAIA but still, and he tore his. He had surgery and is "fully" recovered, but still has a lot of trouble out of it.

I tore mine playing softball last year. I had surgery in December and I've fully recovered. I'm 44 years old so he should bounce back quickly. Rehab took me 6 months.

Surgery depends on his function. It could've been torn for awhile, or new injury. Not sure. Don't rush to judgement on surgery though. There are varying degrees of a tear.

I don't know jack about human anatomy, but labrum sounds like an interjection that Professor Frink from the Simpsons would use.

I tore my labrum and played my whole senior year of Football. Pain isn't horrible. Some of the mobility is the problem tho.

I hurt mine playing basketball in 2004. Then, I tore an ACL just two months later. I would gladly take a torn ACL in the other knee tomorrow and enter knee rehab again if it would mean my shoulder injury never happened.

My knee was the worst pain I've ever dealt with. It horrifies me if a shoulder is worse. lol... My knee wasn't a "simple" ACL though. 15 months on a cane was unbearably awful. I hope he recovers. I am anxious to see how all the newcomers on the wing fit in and compete.

ACL surgery and rehab is very standard. It takes a long time, but it's a standard process. Shoulders are more complex. They're a pain in the arse. It appears mine will forever be in danger of slipping out during competition.

I care about the long-term effects more than how much something hurts when I injure it.
That said, my knee didn't hurt at all immediately after I tore the ACL. It didn't swell up much either. But, after the ACL surgery, my knee swelled up a ton, and a few hours after the surgery, the pain hit. That was a new level of pain, lol.

I jumped as high as I could, turning back for the ball. I landed a little awkward, my knee dislocated, and I had a severe bone bruise throughout the joint, pinched the meniscus out to the edges of the joint... My lower left leg was bowed out and I had to push it back in. It was excrutiating and outside of a scope to remove the meniscus (no pain relief, no stability increase) or a knee replacement, there wasn't really anything they could do. Bedrest for a few weeks, crutches for a few months, walking on a cane for a total of 15 mos. I can't play sports anymore, and it feels so unstable all the time and it is always sore.

Are we trading war stories now? lol

Probably not the worst thing for Reese, just redshirt him and let him recover, was probably going to redshirt anyways.

As far as main joint type surgeries it goes from easiest to hardest....Hip, knee, with shoulder being by far the worst one.....he will prob recover and be fine but their is a chance it will bother him in some capacity the rest of his life.
