Thumb Update Good news

[YOTHN]

Said on gameday they inserted 2 screws on top of the thumb. Maybe screwed his nail back down? If that’s the case his thumb won’t be near as sensitive. I’ve glued mine down before.

You put screws in to heal a fracture. It helps close the gap to calcify the bone faster. He had a hairline fracture but those can be removed in under 10 days or they'll back out themselves.

It's also a great opportunity for Rourke to get a little rest and therapy for that surgically repaired knee..., along with his thumb (and even his throwing arm). I wouldn't go so far as saying this has come at a good time (it hasn't) but if T can get us to the 2nd Bye Week, having Rourke's leg(s) and arm relatively fresh heading into the last two games wouldn't be a bad thing ("if" he can grip the ball by then)...

Why ? Is he having trouble with a knee that was operated on what 10 months ago approximately ?
