An LB is out 6 weeks with an injury

Submitted by Streetchemist on September 2nd, 2014 at 10:50 AM

Various message board chatter this morning has mentioned a linebacker is out 6 weeks with an injury. Sam Webb has mentioned it not being one that started last Saturday but one that played a lot. That narrows it down to Ross, Morgan, or RJS. If there's one place we can sustain an injury it's at LB but I hate seeing this right before the ND game.

One of my coworkers kids attends the lsa school, multiple people saw him today in a cast. Remember that Connecticut game last year? We lose that game without Morgan. This is bad.

Sorry to hear of the injury gents. I hope the boy can heal up quickly. Never like to see an injury, unless its to a buckeye fan.

Is this Sam Webb's gut saying this? I haven't seen anything credible yet unless I'm looking in the wrong places. I'm hearing a lot of 3d party or further removed but isn't that hearsay? I'm sure it's right but I'm not 100% convinced.

as soon as someone said 6 weeks I immediately thought "broken arm", so hearing that Morgan has his arm in a cast makes a lot of sense. If it were a broken hand he wouldn't be out that long, and if it had been a lower body injury (leg or knee) it would take longer to get back into playing shape. Broken arms are generally about a 6-week injury, though the fact that he had surgery means it might have been more than a simple fracture. If it was more than a simple fracture he could be out longer than six weeks.
