Terrelle Pryor eager to get back into workout regimen after knee surgery: Ohio State Insider
By Doug Lesmerises, The Plain Dealer
February 28, 2010

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor hasn't yet returned to working out with his teammates since having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee 20 days ago and he's disappointed at missing out.

"You lose a type of leadership," Pryor said Sunday at a team charity event. "I laid at home for about five days and then I went in and started to do upper body [workouts]. My upper body got real weak because I was sitting at home taking pain pills and I lost a lot of weight because I wasn't really eating. So I'm going to start getting back with the team workouts. It kind of [stinks] because you can't work out with your team."

Pryor said he has started lifting heavier weights with his legs, cramping up at times while he builds strength in his rehab. In January, he had told The Plain Dealer that surgery might not do much for the partially torn posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He said Sunday that after team physician Dr. Chris Kaeding looked inside the knee, the quarterback and coach Jim Tressel decided there was a fix that could be made.

"We just thought I'd strengthen it, but when Dr. Kaeding went into it, there were a lot of things wrong with it," Pryor said.

As a point of clarification, Pryor said Sunday the surgery was on his left knee, the one he told The Plain Dealer was buckling when he walked in late January. In the news release about the surgery three weeks ago, Ohio State reported the surgery was on Pryor's right knee.

Pryor said he plans to be fully ready for the start of spring practice on April 1. He said he's been moving around a bit in some drop-back workouts, but hasn't done any cutting during running drills. He said his roommate, linebacker Andrew Sweat, also coming off ACL surgery, took care of him while he was out, and Ohio State fans sent their best wishes as well.

"Some people sent me fruit and stuff like that," Pryor said. "I don't know how they got my address, but thank you for all that."

Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor: 'A lot of things were wrong with my knee' - ESPN

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor said a routine surgery to strengthen
a partially torn posterior cruciate ligament three weeks ago turned into a
more extensive procedure once the doctor found unexpected issues.

Pryor, who revealed before the Rose Bowl he had been dealing with a
slight PCL injury, said Sunday at a team charity event in Columbus, Ohio,
that the arthroscopy was performed on his left knee, not the right as the
school announced in early February.

"We just thought I'd strengthen it, but when Dr. [Chris] Kaeding went into
it, there were a lot of things wrong with it," Pryor said, according to The
Plain Dealer.

Pryor, who was expected to be back to 100 percent before spring practice
in April, said he had resumed strength training but hadn't rejoined team
workouts, according to the Cleveland newspaper.

"You lose a type of leadership," Pryor said of missing the team dynamic.
"I laid at home for about five days and then I went in and started to do
upper body [workouts]. My upper body got real weak because I was
sitting at home taking pain pills and I lost a lot of weight because I
wasn't really eating.

"So I'm going to start getting back with the team workouts," he added.
"It kind of [stinks] because you can't work out with your team."

Tressel: Pryor's knee is fine

Jim Tressel spoke at the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame luncheon on Monday in Canton, and the Canton Repository had this account.

What I found most interesting among the tidbits was Tressel talking about Terrelle Pryor's recent knee surgery.

There has been much speculation/consternation around the left knee -- and yes, the surgery was indeed performed on the left knee, OSU simply listed the wrong knee in its press release last month.

Tressel certainly sounded reassuring yesterday. The knee's fine, he said, just a minor scope. He is participating fully in off-season workouts, and Tressel even mentioned he was wearing a weighted vest one day recently.

Over the last few weeks I rewatched the Toledo, Illinois, New Mexico State, Penn State, and Rose Bowl games. His throwing motion in the Rose Bowl was markedly better than in the Toledo game, and you could see the progression in improvement in the three other games in between. If he can continue that same degree of improvement through this next season, he's going to be frickin' unstoppable by the time The Game rolls around.

And while The Game used to mean TSUN....for 2010 I'm starting to believe The Game could well be the NCG.

Although I appreciate your enthusiasm, but a big "No..F'ing..Way!!! (pauses added for emphasis), The Game is The Game!!"

The MNCG is a goal, but The Game is what it is. Beat those arrogant mother f'ers until they bleed out of their ears, and I like how the season ends.

If you don't understand that, then I really don't know what to say.:frown2:

:oh:

Fuck M*ch*g*n.
