Cornelius Ingram Has Cyst Drained

PrintThis is one of the grosser headlines I've written in a while. Probably since "Cowboys blow out Eagles again..." TE Cornelius Ingram had an MRI done last night and it revealed what was called "a significant Baker's cyst" in the back of left knee and calf. Today, he had the cyst drained. The team has announced that he won't travel to KC or play in the 3rd preseason game.
A quick search as to what a Baker's cyst was certainly didn't sound great for Ingram.
A Baker's cyst, also called a popliteal cyst, is usually the result of a problem with your knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause your knee to produce too much fluid, which can lead to a Baker's cyst.
Presumably, an MRI would have revealed if there was further damage to the knee. Either way, it's just another in a long line of bad luck for someone who is by all accounts a really great guy and a promising talent.

There's many a great career
we’ll never get to watch due to injury. Looks like Ingram might be one of them. Very sad.

If anyone is interested in watching a cyst drained, here you go. I just clicked ahead to somewhere around the 4-minute mark, and had to close it out. I’m now nauseous. Enjoy!
Oh cry me a river.
That wasn’t that bad

OOOOOOuch.
I saw 30 secs of it. I can’t believe you actually did a youtube search of that.

A sebaceous cyst! I think you could feed a family of 4 with all the sauce that came out of that thing.
Anyone hungry for mashed potatoes after watching that?
I had one of those removed, but it was nowhere near as big as that one.
I think that one is a little different from the one Ingram had drained.
Sometimes it's just fun to take the family for a spin around the lake in the old boat. Even if it's not your family or your boat, and they're screaming for you to stop.

wouldn't be so bad
then he’d come back next year with nothing to lose, 2 years after a tear… might be best for his career to not get cut this year (even if that means going on IR)
I've had one of these before.
I developed it after a combo ACL reconstruction/cartilage repair. It wasn’t that big of a deal. I had it drained and it went away. It’s gross, but not something that should keep him out for any significant period of time.
That being said, it’s indicative of his knee not being repaired fully/correctly. Which could be a much bigger problem.

Wasn’t it mentioned after his second surgery that the first surgery done while he was at Florida wasn’t do well or correctly?
Yeah, his body basically rejected the cadaver tissue used to reconstruct his ACL. But it was redone with tissue from his own body if I remember correctly. So that shouldn’t be the problem.
I can say I got the fluid from the cartilage repair not being done correctly, not the ACL reconstruction. Perhaps he has more going inside that knee then he knows about.
IR
its not necessarily over, IDK why we rushed him back to watch his knee swell and spew fluid… he should have been on the PUP.
