Anybody have an Injury Update

No

I read on the Michigan 247 board that Countess had a knee sprain.  Don't know the accuracy of it or the seriousness of a knee sprain if it's true.

yes, we are keeping it a secret from you

Demens will be out 2-3 weeks with a broken ego.

I know. I'm just not telling.

It's on the VIP board.

I'm assuming Demens got pulled.  Errybody got pulled tonight

But I'm curious about Countess/Lewan updates as well.  Your thread is a lifeboat of usefulness amidst a sea of orca piss and cat dung.

all injuries are life threatening. at least that's the conclusion i made. you can call me webmd if you like

"Michael Rothstein‏@mikerothstein

Hoke had no update on Countess or Lewan."

So I'm guessing no updates until tomorrow at the earliest.

Felt like Gibbons tried to kick my groin while thinking of a brunette. 

Knowing Hoke we won't know for sure until the Air Force game starts

Every Alabama player is fine. Thanks for the concern.

my feelings are hurt and I have a headache from that game... I'm going to sleep.

Well, my eyes seem to have stopped bleeding, finally. So there's that. Thx for asking.

Countess and Lewan are injured.

Lewan and Countess each have a boo-boo.



/Hoke press conference

actually played, it just looked like he wasn't out there.

If anyone had an injury update, i'm sure they would post a thread much better than the last ten threads.

Catastrophically kicked in.

obvious no practice.  Back at the hotel and still can't believe our top receiver is a QB that can't catch and the only offensive scheme we can come up with that works is the long pass.  Watch some Troy Smith video for godsakes.  The fact that we are 2 years, at least, undermanned doesn't help.

Blake Countess on crutches per Mike Rothstein....

Heather Cox mentioned something about Hoke himself being "really sick" and having "lost his voice."  Anyone know what that was all about?  Cold? Flu?

Sure they did—after the Alabama player ran through three or four tackles first. With a few exceptions, the tackling was horrendous this evening.

Borges's credibility suffered an injured knee. There will be an update on its status after the air force game to see if it's a "boo-boo" or something more serious (like a level 3 DeBoard tear"

I doubt we need either Lewan or Countess for another 3 weeks when we go to South Bend.  However, I really hope they see the field next week as players need game speed to work on their skills and conditioning.

Go Blue! 

no 16 is all right ...i will not panic....

was having a LOT of trouble limping back to the locker room after the game ended.

Michigan Radio claimed that Lewan told the coaches he could go back into the game if needed.

That picture of Countess makes me sick. We need him and Lewan healthy!

i was at game and watched Countess on sideline.  After sitting awhile, he stood up and was running in place but never reentered game.  Dont think its a major injury.

I can tell you I saw a staff member repeat one part, and only one part of the knee physical exam on the sideline: The ACL exam. He compared right and left exams (standard) then whispered in his co workers ear.

I can also tell you that ACLs don't sprain, they tear. Regardless of what you may have been told in the past, especially in high performance athletes, ACL sprains are extaordinarily rare.

As you probably know, sometimes tears can be without significant pain, and running after the injury is quite possible. The instability is the issue.

I'm hoping for the best for the kid, and assuming nothing. Maybe the guy doing the exam was just a trainer, and did not want to get in trouble for telling Countess his knee felt fine.
