His injury is considered only “mild in nature”, and there is hope he will be back running at training as soon as today. Despite this good news, there is certainly some cause for concern with Pangai Junior’s latest setback. His history with hamstring issues over the past 2 seasons is quite extensive: — August 18th 2017 – Suffers a left hamstring strain, misses 1 week — August 31st 2017 – Returns and re-injures hamstring, misses 2 weeks — March 23rd 2018 – Suffers a hamstring strain, misses 1 week — July 15th 2018 – Suffers hamstring tightness in final training run, misses 1 week — July 20th 2018 – Leaves the game with left hamstring tightness after playing 31 minutes — August 2nd 2018 – Leaves the game with hamstring and groin soreness after playing 48 minutes — September 2nd 2018 – Leaves the game with a right hamstring issue after playing 50 minutes — February 23rd 2019 – Leaves trial match with a mild right hamstring injury after playing 20 minutes No doubt with this in mind Pangai Junior spent a portion of the offseason visiting a hamstring injury prevention expert in an effort to avoid these issues before they arise. For TPJ to undergo specific rehabilitation in this area and suffer a hamstring strain in his very first game of 2019 is unfortunate, and the hope will be these issues do not linger throughout the long season ahead. It would not be surprising to see Pangai Junior shut down for at least 2 weeks, until Round 1, considering his history and the high recurrence rate of hamstring injuries (10-30%). In good news the Broncos medical staff seem confident this will settle quickly for the lock forward. [/QUOTE]
