Julio Jones broke his hand against South Carolina and is havng surgery. The ESPNU is scrolling he may only miss a few days. How can a receiver brake a bone in their hand, have surgery, and be ready to play in a few days. I would think he will be out a few weeks at least.

I agree with you on that one.

Huh, perhaps a carpal or metacarpal bone? Maybe applying a wire or screw and plate??? Returning function and preventing more damage I might think possible...but pain would still be there with use over the first weeks I'd think. Speculating...obviously.

Even so I would think there would be stitches and some swelling. I am sure his grip strength will be limited for awhile. And then the pain from catching the football. Not sure how you could play for a few weeks at least.

They can't.
