UPDATE: Jared Van Slyke possibly injured yesterday
UPDATE, (5:07pm) as noted below Jared Van Slyke is reported to be banged up. I got my information from a friend who had talked to a player on the team last night. My friend was checking on the false Craig Roh rumors for me and as it turned out my friend was told Van Slyke broke his collarbone. My guess is that, Slyke appeared to have broken his collarbone as he was taken off the field but the x-rays were negative. Sorry I don't have anything more definitive. Again I will update if anything comes up.

Unfortunately, Jared Van Slyke broke his collarbone in yesterday's practice. Jared, the mgoblog community wishes you a speedy recovery.
I am guessing it depends on the severity of the fracture, which is unknown at the moment, but according to this site he will be back to full activities in about 12 weeks -->

If I get any new information I will post an update.

Was Troy's ankle not enough to appease your appetite?
September 1st, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
Haha must not have. Please AMSHG please stop there!!!

Get well soon Jared....damn.

Man, first Nate Forcier's shoulder, then Tom Woolfolk's ankle, and now Jordan Van Slyke's collarbone. When will it end?!

Dude, if Gregg Rowe gets hurt we are super screwed.
September 1st, 2010 at 4:29 PM ^
Hide ya safeties, hide ya cornerbacks, he out there hurtin' everybody
September 1st, 2010 at 4:30 PM ^
Looks like Vlad Emilien might get the chance to impale enough opponents to appease the AMSHG thirst for blood...
that's glass half-full...

Just to be on the safe side, I'll sacrifice my roommate's cat after work.
September 1st, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
I do believe you'll follow through on this...
September 1st, 2010 at 4:30 PM ^
was he spotted crying at UHC yesterday?
September 1st, 2010 at 4:36 PM ^
AA .com is reporting it as only bruised....
September 1st, 2010 at 5:32 PM ^
that's what i thought RR said in his teleconference. Didnt say anything about being broken for sure. OP, what was the source of the information? Any chance it was a mistake?
September 1st, 2010 at 4:44 PM ^
OH LET'S BUBBLE WRAPZ!
That looks like what Nike would do for our "Pro-Combat" look...all maize and a green helmet honoring how much we own ND.
September 1st, 2010 at 4:44 PM ^
He's also the holder on special teams?!
I just got chills.

If there was any doubt as to the existence of something out there that dislikes Michigan's secondary, this removes that doubt.
September 1st, 2010 at 4:58 PM ^
Maybe believing in Angry Michigan Secondary Hating God was the mistake. What did people believe in before? The sun?
Maybe there's some sort of animal, that we could make a sacrifice too. Like a giant buffalo, or some sort of monster, like something with the body of a walrus with the head of a sea lion. Or something with the body of an egret with the head of a meerkat. Or just... the head of a monkey, with the antlers of a reindeer, with... the body of a porcupine.

Head of a bear and the body of a... much bigger bear.

Good luck with the rehab Jared. Keep workin hard, and keep your head up.
September 1st, 2010 at 4:59 PM ^
Well... there goes RR's plan of flying under AMSHG's radar by using walk-ons.

I broke mine a few years back and it took about 8 weeks. However, my arm was in a sling for that entire time and lost a lot of strength, so I can see the 12 week prognosis. I also did not require screws or plates or anything. I imagine that would take even longer to heal.

I checked the mgoblue.com roster twice, because it didn't look right to me either:

So you continue to go with Jordan.
I'm just busting your balls a bit, people make mistakes. But knowing that the players sometimes read this site, I feel like it's worth it to edit it so their names are right.

I AM DUMB
September 1st, 2010 at 5:49 PM ^
That's it, no more contact for them until Saturday.
