Fitzgerald Remains Day-To-Day

[mod edit: Original Poster wondered if Toussaint was out for season due to sloppy FreeP referencing. Per an article Sunday, Michigan has cited he is day-to-day]

http://www.freep.com/fdcp/?1286913589264

Print article above has quotes from Rich Rod talking about injuries and how he's never had so many season ending ones. He then lists the season ending injuries and the players name is in parenthesis. Well he says one is a torn shoulder and Fitz Toussaint is listed as the player. He's not out for the season right? I thought he was kind of week to week or day to day at this point. Did I miss something? If I am totally wrong  please delete this mods. I just thought it wasn't that serious. Maybe Snyder is misprinting.

Would be a bummer.

That definitely reads like Fitz is out for the rest of the season. I feel bad for the kid. He just can't get on the field and stay healthy.

I'm more excited to see him perform than Dee Hart... and that's saying something... he's a beast when he isn't injured.

Too late for a medical redshirt?

No, if you've already used your redshirt and you have a season ending injury, you can still petition for a medical redshirt, which would essentially give you 6 years on campus.

But I don't think a player can take a medical redshirt that would grant a 6th year until AFTER the 5th year, and is usually not granted unless two years were lost due to injury.  I could be reading the rule wrong (someone correct me if that's the case), but I don't think Fitz can qualify.

No, I'm pretty positive he can point to all the damage fate has done to him and the NCAA will give him another year. He'll be a third year Freshman! Which is really a shame, since the coaches were apparently trying him out to be the #1 back in Fall camp.

You apply for the sixth year after your fifth year, but the second injury does not have to have occurred in the fifth year.  In sum, any player who misses two seasons due to injury can apply after five years are over to get the sixth year.

My mom tore hers and it took her a year or two to get it healed completely because they wanted to avoid surgery if possible. My guess is its either not that serious and it takes several weeks to heal or they give him surgery and he's back by spring practice.

who has torn theirs repeatedly, if he's listed day-to-day i would hazard to guess he's popped his shoulder out 1-2 times in practice(s). to avoid tearing further ligaments and pulling the "stuff" within the cuff completely off the bone (yay Cancun 2004!), he's being given time to heal. again, this is just a guess based upon my own physical experience.

If Shaw had the ball on those two plays it would have been 1 play for 66 yards and a TD because that hole was 4 yards wide and he wouldn't have been caught from behind. I'm not saying Shaw is better, I'm saying that many of the big runs that our RBs have are because of the blocking by the other 9 guys and this particular run came against probably the worst defense we've faced this year.
