Anthony Beard

[NorthoftheBorder]

BigRedInsider.com is reporting that Anthony Beard has a torn ACL and will be out for the season.  What a bummer!!  He has the chance to have a special career at LU if he can stay healthy.  Here's hoping that he returns next year better than ever.

though anthony will have the same acl repaired, there is no other knee problem /injury. anthony called me right before he got his results wed mid day, i explained to him that this early season setback does have a benifit, it could have happened late in season & rehab would have spilled over into the next season training. about an hour later anthony called me & said dr isabel told him the acl that was grafted 1 1/2 yrs ago tore into. he said a bigger sized acl graf would be needed. ac grew some more in length &
doc said his large  bone & leg size  will have to take a much larger size graf, this surgery will take place tues anthony said. anthony said the doc, said no other damage that he could tell, just the other acl graft just could not support his leg ,bone,muscle size so bigger graft will be put in.

This is some bad news hope he has a good recovery and comes back stronger then ever.

He needs to go to Dr. james andrews, if he wants to play again and be 100 percent healthy......

He's in great hands at beaumont bone & joint.

Yep, those guys do a lot of work at Christus St. Elizabeth. I think there is possible Beard can get a medical red-shirt since he didn't play in 20% of the Lamar games this season.

Would be great to have him for four more years.

Lol Beaumont bone and joint or James Andrews it's not even a comparison, James Andrews did my shoulder surgey back in 2001 and never had a problem in my 4 yrs of college baseball, he's the best!!

Great, I work at Christus St. Elizabeth and see what those doctors do and very few (patients) have any problems.

Of course most patients I see don't play college sports.  ;)
