    This should scare us...

    CLEVELAND (May 12, 2003 7:31 p.m. EDT) - Former Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamir Miller has been advised to retire by a doctor who examined the free agent's surgically repaired Achilles' tendon.

    "He got a very discouraging medical report," Miller's agent, Leigh Steinberg, said Monday. "The Achilles' injury is very serious. He's seriously considering retirement and is in the last stages of making a decision."

    Miller, who made the Pro Bowl after recording 13 sacks in 2001, ruptured his right Achilles' tendon in the Browns' exhibition opener against Minnesota last August and missed the entire season.

    Steinberg said Miller had been bothered by soreness in his heel the past few weeks, and he visited a specialist in Los Angeles on Friday.    ...


    Hopefully TKO will recover a little better than Jamir Miller....

    it depends on the degree of his injury. But if he's not healing well, we'll have the draft and FA next off-season to address the problem. Right now, let's stay focused on this season and try to find a way to win without him.

        I hate to say it but Spikes is done with. Even if he's able to play his speed won't be the same.

        What a shame. He was my favorite player.

            Whether or not Spikes ever returns, he'll still be one of my all time favs. I have faith we'll see him on the field again better than ever.

              this is exactly my concern and the reason for my question: how often do players recover fully from this injury. Any well-known examples??

                Cowart tore his achilles and came back, but he was never the same. I don't think this will be a career ender for Spikes but he'll probably be a lot closer to average than to outstanding.

                  Thing is, every now and then there are those freaks of nature who come back better from this. An example would be Robert Edwards. He was told he'd never walk again and he eventuqally made it back on the field for the Dolphins.

                    Cowart came back pretty strong in 02, but was plagued by other injuries later. Not sure if they can be related to the Achillies or not but I think it was a knee injury.

                      I'm not sure how to merge threads, but the thread you started has many examples of guys who came back, and guys who didn't...

                      Also, check out this for inspiration...http://www.achillestendon.com/InTheNews.html

                      I think it really depends on the guy's heart (provided it isn't too severe). TKO has heart, he will be back. Even if he's only 80% of the player he was, that still rates him as an effective LB in the NFL.

                          TKO is my favorite player. But LB's can be found in the draft. Look at Vilma.
