Once I get up to Denver and visit with the team doctors, they can check out my knee and do all of that, and then we can go from there. Championships are made on practice fields; championships are also made in training rooms and rehab gyms. Adhesive bandages, electrodes, ice bags, and kinesiology tape. Scissors, tape remover, whirlpools, ultrasound gel, and treatment tables.

Tedious repetitions of arm pulls and leg lifts. There is no verbal banter of windy platitudes to stoke quixotic fantasies of either management or players.

Athletic trainers are witnesses to the magic and myth of extraordinary athletic feats. Yet behind closed doors they respond to the ordinary, commonplace maladies of bruises, lacerations, soft tissue tears, and broken bones.

Genuine compassion does not stoke pipe dreams but conveys the everyday dignity owed to any man, especially for the players attempting to secure a livelihood for their families to leap from ongoing poverty to sustained prosperity. Their bones, cartilage, and ligaments bear the burden of these familial expectations. The very best of medical practitioners effortlessly blend sincere empathy and proficient treatment with their patients.

Players are not treated as replaceable pieces of football productivity. Rather respecting them in their most important roles as sons, brothers, fathers, and husbands. Professional football players endure incessant chronic pain in the playing days and beyond. When I see a player incurring a major injury withering in pain on the field, I am seeing most the emotional agony and fear of uncertainty. Will they play well again? One moment they move with extraordinary grace, quickness, and power.

The next, crippled. Their grandparents often move better in that instant. Their athletic body movements express their identity. The livelihood of their families depend on the high body performance. Interior linebackers Brandon Marshall and Danny Trevathan had uncertain futures going into the season. Marshall had several screws to hold together a foot while Travathan had major reconstruction surgery on his knee cap.

The two went on to lead the team in tackles last season. Knee injury. Big contract? Greek does sustained hard work with players that benefits in indirect ways. Instead of cutting the tackle, Denver traded him and gained a future fifth-round draft pick.

Greek is ever present when scary injuries occur, such as the incident with defensive end Derek Wolfe in the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field on August 17, The Denver Broncos have leaned toward acquiring injured players during the offseason.

Three of the top five draft picks had injuries that prevent them for full athletic participation in the rookie mini camp on May Not only did the club pick up Gotsis in the draft, but the Broncos chose running back Devontae Booker, who recently had two surgical procedures on a torn meniscus. Connor McGovern had a hamstring problem. All three are full training camp participants. Veteran free agent Russell Okung, the starting left tackle, was signed during the offseason while recovering from shoulder surgery.

He is also fully practicing.
