Per Nick Baumgardner via Harbaugh: Speight has "soft tissue" injury - not sure how long he'll be out

Speedy recovery young man!

 

Especially sad that it came on a dirty hit (one of many from those Purdue dirty birdies). Get well soon Speight!

Nonetheless it hurts our qb depth. Seems like we've had a lot of injuries this year so far.

Open clearly claimed the starting spot. It's his until he loses it.

And yeah sounds like it could potentially be long-term based on this defination I found, since it says it means damage to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons.

A late dirty hit to the head.  Fuck you Purdue.  Get well soon Mr. Speight.

ha, gotta love harbaugh - he will not release any info he doesnt have to or want out there.  soft tissue injury is right up there with upper body injury.

hope speights ok

Get well soon, Wilton!

Muscle tear.

Hopefully he'll be available again (probably as the backup) after the bye week.

Frustrating that it came on an uncalled dirty hit. Then O'Korn also gets targeting to the head. Maybe trying to knock out all of our QBs since we only brought 3. 

Obviously just a guess, but with the nature of the hit, where they were working on him and the “soft tissue” description, I’m guessing Torn Labrum.

It was a bad hit, but just shows how porous our offensive line is. The guy got a clear shot at speight with little time to protect himself. The OL was a bit horrid.

Not skeletal, not concussed. Which is good given how that hit looked. Has to be a neck muscle strain / tear type thing. Ouch. Next man up happened and it was good. If Speight loses his spot he should be ready to come back if another injury happens.

Nobody mentioned that the player left both feet to target OKorn.

Dirty late hit. Purdue had a lot of those today.

Get well soon, Wilton.

I'm disappointed for the kid though. Speight seems like a good kid. I wanted someone else in there but that was a dirty shot and unfortunate result. Based on the way his neck was bent, could've been worse. Hope there is a suspension for the hit. Purdue was head hunting and taking cheap shots all game. Speights footwork and lack of mobility isn't a good match for a team that's struggling to block. I think that accentuated his issues. It was only a matter of time before something happened.
