I had an AVM removed and 6 months recovery time was fine. The only problem that he might have now is possibility of siezures or like my case loss is perifreal vision loss on my right side. I feel fine but i deffintly couldn,t see a tackle coming from the right. The vision loss or siezure never get better, it’s just something you gave to live with and just be lucky to be alive still.

A top organization like Giants fan Jay showed class.

“Either way, for a team we like to bounce back in 2012, this was not an ideal start to camp.”

—Best wishes to him, but I don’t think it’s a huge loss given our depth.

For all those saying that this doesn’t matter because Fletcher Cox have just taken his place – not quite. Patterson plays the NT position in the Eagles defense, Cox will play at UT. Cox was never competing directly with Patterson. Derek Landri or Antonio Dixon will likely start in Patterson’s place.

As a fan of the GIANTS, you never want to see anybody get hurt from any team remember it’s only a game. Just glad to hear that it was caught in time.

they don’t retire because it isn’t career or life threatening. I was at a conference where they present his case study, he was looked at by 4 separate doctors and all cleared him.

I sure as heck wouldn’t want to bang my head around in a football game after something like that. I don’t know why these guys don’t instantly retire with these kind of things.

This Giants fan hopes Mr. Patterson makes a speedy and full recovery. Hope you’re on the field for that Week 17 matchup sir.

So they cleared him to play last year after finding that? What a joke. And we wonder why there’s so many players suing the nfl

Am I the only one who is wondering why he played with this condition last season?

We’ll miss him but his health is more important. Get well Mike.

Get well Mike!! Die Eagle scum

Wait what. Why all the doom and gloom. He came back and played last year BEFORE he got it fixed. I’m assuming it was a successful surgery otherwise I can see how this could be career threatening

Wow, you certainly have to wish him a full and complete recovery. I hope he is healthy enough to continue his career.

I hope the Eagles continue to keep him at full pay.

Health is far more important than football at this point. Get well soon.

They should put him on IR pay him for the year and convince him to retire. His life is more important.

Wow that’s a shame, the Iggles could really use him. Not nearly as important as his life.

Give Fat Albert a call and offer minimum salary to come back and play for his old DL coach.

Seriously? Mike Patterson missing even the complete season affects the Eagles very little. They are loaded on the DL and in all honesty I think Cox would of beat him out at some point anyways. Of all the starters on the Eagles offense or defense Patterson is the player that would least affect the Eagles. I do wish him the best though…

Explains the Ollie Ogbu trade. They need bodys for reps.

Completely expected. Nobody with any bit of common sense expected him to participate in camp. He’s going to be fine, he’s going to play. Superfan…what on Earth makes you think he wont play again? He played all season last year WITH the AVM, and played well! He’s not playing with the “condition”, he’s recovering from surgery. The AVM was removed and has no effect on him anymore, its all surgery recovery. Your comment is a year late.

I’m an MD and about the only times I’ve seen an AV fistula diagnosed is AFTER a devastating STROKE! Paralysis, drooling, serious speech problems.
GOD BLESS YOU Mike Patterson!!!! I am so happy that you avoided this. Whether you ever play again or not is such a trivial thing.

Funny how all the “experts” forget to mention that they lost their starting left tackle. Vick can’t stay healthy as it is. Same lovefest every year and still no Super Bowl.
