Jermod McCoy participating in practice!

McCoy was with the other cornerbacks during the short portion of practice open to the media. He went through coverage drills, but was not permitted to go through the drills with other players, and coaches were not allowed to throw balls while he was in coverage. Later, he went on to go through a drill where he would ‘Peanut Punch’ the ball out of a coach’s arm to force a fumble.

Wearing a helmet but no shoulder pads.

It's amazing how far medical science has progressed. 20 to 25 years ago he would have been lost for the season. It's crazy how fast ACL tears can be rehabbed now

Exactly. My daughter was a college athlete who had 3 ACL repairs almost 20 yrs ago. Much was learned from her 1st to her 3rd, and SO MUCH more is now known in more recent yrs.

I’m no D1 athlete, I was walking without crutches and back to work (anesthesia) so not a great deal of walking, 2 weeks after my acl recon at 39yo. It really is amazing how far the surgery has come.

Did the surgery change?

Yes. The first time they used cadaver tissue. Not good. In later ones, used her own hamstring material, and in last one, some kind of cris-crossing at the knee, a stronger set-up. The first doc was here in Baton Rouge, last one was a guy in Dallas area who had worked on women on our national team in soccer. And this all many years ago; I'm sure it's more advanced now than then.
