    They can apply some sort of heat treatment to it that would tighten it back up. There is also physical therapy they can do. I think there is a brace he can wear too. From what I've read on the internet tonight, this is a more common injury in baseball players than football players, but I didn't read anything that led me to believe that it's a particularly serious injury.

    Sorry dude, Harold had it in his 6 o'clock sportscast so I thought it was common knowledge. Didn't mean to steal your thunder.

    Sounds like Dave Hoppen from the first Hornets team. Anyone remember watching that poor bastards shoulder fall apart any time his arm went over his head? That was brutal. Luckily, sports medicine has made a huge leap since 1988 :)

    He just needs a couple training courses with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson Lethal Weapon) on how to slam it back in place. That or Pep can just give it a good solid yank. :xyzthumbs
