Any Idea on Injuries?
I looked and didn’t see a thread on this, but with all the dumb ass hot take threads maybe I missed it. Anyone have any injury updates? McKeon looked like a knee sprain, no idea of severity. I heard DCaff has a concussion. I’m guessing he’ll start if healthy?
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:25 PM ^
Gary just left the game with a leg injury
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:29 PM ^
Harbaugh thinks there's some advantage that'll make a difference in being stupidly coy about injuries, so I'm sure everyone will be "working through something". Drives me nuts... he thinks his team is sufficiently competitive that some mystical and minuscule advantage relating to letting people know about injury will matter in the outcome of a game? Complete delusion.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:34 PM ^
Sadly, I can’t argue with this comment.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
You say you can’t argue with this comment, yet you literally called me an idiot in my below board post when I basically said the exact same thing. Weird.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:52 PM ^
It can't hurt to conceal this information, though. Of all things to criticize Harbaugh for, this one is pretty weak.
September 23rd, 2019 at 12:05 AM ^
My thoughts also. It might not help, but it can't hurt so why not?
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:02 PM ^
My only criticism with keeping that stuff under wraps is it opens it up for hacks like Yoder to try and spread rumors about young peoples’ health. It’s despicable and Yoder shouldn’t do it and nobody should take him seriously, but being so secretive leaves room for this kind of bull crap
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
I mean how much of a rumor was it? Charbonnet was clearly injured. What’d he get two carries? Otherwise uselessly used as a decoy.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:31 PM ^
Hopefully Harbaugh’s feet hurt from walking back from Wisconsin.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:34 PM ^
I'm expecting them to be lost for the year.
Also waiting for the announcment that Charbonnet needs another procedure and takes him out several weeks.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
I’d be willing to bet some of the guys who came back for Wisconsin will be oit vs Rutgers. Runyan and DPJ looked way less than 100%. Charbonnet night sit. Ross is hurt now too. Mayfield? Metalus was dinged up. And QB I have no idea, MCaffery is definitely out for Rutgers. Shea may have aggravated his injury, no idea if he would be a week off. Mckeon looks like he might miss time. Is Dwumfour coming back soon?
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
If DM does indeed have a concussion, I doubt seriously that he will play next week.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:39 PM ^
I’m sure UM can get by with Shea’s oblique injury for a few more weeks. It seems to be impacting his vision as well because he missed a few wide open receivers yesterday.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
At least Moody is OK. he saw no action. Maybe they’ll put him in as RB.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:41 PM ^
McKeon did a hyperextension/ACL tear-looking move, if we're being worst case scenario.
From the news coverage, they weren't doing a Lachman's test, in fact he was prone, and they were looking at the hamstring.
Hyperextension can be anything really, and also, a little bit of everything. Him walking right after indicates nothing for what its worth.
On a hyperextension, the hamstring will definitely be over-stretched, so it could have just strained the hammy.
That's best case scenario.
Charbonnet is puzzling, who knows, but god damn it makes me so mad they ran him into the ground because they are so f**king incompetent, becuase he's really not a bulldozer, he's more like a scat-back, that has abover average size and speed. He just can't be a De'veon Smith/Karan Higdon type.
Dwumfour, who knows, I'd assume it was a wrist and not a hand injury, as they heal slower and it's bizarre we haven't seen him yet.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
Where'd you get your medical degree?
The ACL is on the front of the knee. Hyperextension would damage the PCL, not the ACL.
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:24 PM ^
Yep. Could also be a meniscal injury (apley grind yo)
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:40 PM ^
ACL is actually exactly what I was worried about when I saw that play. Hyperextension due to rapid deceleration is probably the most common mechanism for that injury.
Source: my medical degree, ironically from Wisconsin.
September 22nd, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
Yeah exactly, I’m an ATC and that’s the first thing I thought of as well.
September 22nd, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
People tear their acl from hypertending their knee all the time. Actually when I was working as an ATC @ BG I think most of the acl tears I saw were during hyperextension. Contact injuries are less common you see basketball players, gymnasts, football player, jump, land and hyperextend all the time and year their acl.
In the game thread the first thing I posted is “holly shit as an ATC you think that and think acl all the way.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
My soul is day to day.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:42 PM ^
I can confirm that the team has a severely bruised ego and a broken spirit, which will require surgery.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
Full body transplant.
September 22nd, 2019 at 5:18 PM ^
Or just changing the head might do the trick.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
What's up with Wilson?
September 22nd, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
That's the guy I want to see back. He made a great block on a blitzer in week 1 TD pass.
Plus that guy exudes enthusiasm. Not a star but a gamer who we need for Iowa for sure.
September 22nd, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
Seriously though, anyone know what is wrong with him?
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
Josh Ross high ankle sprain...according to Angelique
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:30 PM ^
High ankle is 4-6 weeks normally.
September 22nd, 2019 at 2:51 PM ^
Jansen said we are all good to go. Beat Rutgers!
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
lol what does good to go mean? DPJ and Charbonnet might as well have stayed home after being “good to go”.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
I'm pretty umbig11 was being sarcastic. Jansen clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:12 PM ^
We have a competitive advantage if we don’t share injuries and depth charts. If we share that information we will lose our edge against the likes of Illinois. I mean, look how well coached and disciplined we are inside the yellow submarine....
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
The geezer fake insider must be drinking again
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:43 PM ^
Poor little Sally. Your feelings still hurt? :)
September 23rd, 2019 at 5:08 AM ^
Ohhhh look out now. He called me by a woman's name, even though I am a man. The wound is deep.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:41 PM ^
lol I know he was. I was referring more to Jansen. This program is such a dumpster fire.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:02 PM ^
Hey next coach? He knows how to run the fog machine.
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
My wallet is injured after all these years of promises and zero walking the talk.
Hope all the kids are healthy!!!
September 22nd, 2019 at 3:20 PM ^
Think of all the money you have saved on CFB playoff tickets.
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:00 PM ^
Maybe Milton can play qb and straight up ball, he’s 6’5” should see the field well and has a cannon, let him loose. Patterson is no good he can’t see the field doesn’t anticipate throws, mcaffery is pry out with concussion
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:47 PM ^
Yeah, Milton's cannon of an interception looked dead on against Wiscy, that's for sure.
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:16 PM ^
McCafferey is in protocol so he is likely out 3-4 weeks. Offense is walking wounded. Milton is next man up which scares the shit out of me. Did you see that pick he threw ? Yikes.
September 22nd, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Depends on when he is symptom free and passes the impact test. (We do them in H.S. So I would think college does). Not sure where you are coming up with 3-4 weeks. He probably won’t be available for Rutgers but could be the following week. Could it be 3-4, yes but being in protocol has nothing to do with that.
September 22nd, 2019 at 5:29 PM ^
The aftermath of him didn't look as bad as Peters, so I'm hoping the Iowa game he is ready. Either way, it's Shea and some Joe for now.
I think Joe needs to play a series each week in the 2nd quarter. Just have him run 6-10 plays in practice every week and go out and repeat what he learned. His size and speed would be hard to plan for given how Shea seems to be wearing cement galoshes these days.
September 22nd, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
My guess is McKeon blew out his knee; just a hunch. Hope I’m wrong
September 23rd, 2019 at 12:04 AM ^
Other than my pride?
