Herniated Discs and Matt Hasselbeck
October 14, 2008 6:45pm CDT
This past Sunday, Matt Hasselbeck sat out of the game against the Packers because he hyperextended his knee the week prior. The injury occurred on the first play against the Giants in Week 4 and Hasselbeck remained in most of the game. An MRI later demonstrated a bone bruise. Bone bruises are edema (inflammation) within the bone. Generally, these are created by direct contact. In the knee, this often happens when the top bone (femur) smacks into the bottom bone (tibia).
