Any updates to injured players?
Metellus, Hill, and Paye either did not play or left early yesterday. Metellus did not play but did warm up, Hill was in the concussion protocol but unsure of severity (did have helmet on going up the tunnel seems encouraging), and Paye left with what UMBig11 said was a soft tissue injury(did not specify). So this is what we know so far. Do we have new updates to severity since the goal is to maximally healthy for OSU. I don't want to speculate but it seems like a precaution was taken.

Umbig11 has the fortune teller routine down pat. Be as vague as possible so if things come out that are different they can be adjusted to fit the narrative that he actually knows something.
Hint: he doesn't
November 11th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
"soft tissue injury" i exactly what harbaugh said. I dont think he was using "inside info" with this one
November 11th, 2018 at 1:56 PM ^
The soft tissue is inside the skin, so there is some inside info...
When he got up from the pile, he rubbed his bicep a little. Guessing a knee or elbow may have given him a "bo-bo". Since the coaches were likely worried about injuries, I bet he went to the locker room to get some ice. Speculation, given the circumstances.
As for the others: if they have a hang nail, why risk further injury? We have the depth and were playing an inferior opponent. Let them rest up another week rather than aggravate it (which is what happened to Gary's "bo-bo" when he played the next week.)
November 11th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
A "bo-bo"?
Was that one of Bobo Brazil's signature moves? https://www.wwe.com/superstars/bobobrazil
I remember his famous "Coco Butt" move, but not this one.

+1 for the Bobo Brazil reference ("from Benton Harbor, Michigan!")
He and Flying Fred Curry were my favorites.

Lord Layton. If not him, then The Sheik.

I just remember seeing that dude head butt people to death. I always wondered how his head didn't crack like an egg.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:25 PM ^
He was reiterating what JH said in the post game presser.
shaaaat up
November 11th, 2018 at 1:34 PM ^
He endows a scholarship, man. He has connects, he has real info at times. If you don't like that sometimes he's told something on day 1, posts that info on day 1, and that thing changes by day 3 after he posted here...well that's your personal problem.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
Apparently, everyone on Earth can change their minds except politicians and UMBig11. Dude has made tons of deposits of equity in the Bank of Trust. Lets not bash him unless it is something you can prove he is clearly knowingly falsifying.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
Absolutely. UMbig11 has earned respect from me at the very least
November 11th, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
hey did u hear that there's this guy who thinks that UMbig11 is this other guy whom the 1st guy seems to have a problem with because he said things and then the first guy was an asshole and got banned so now he says Umbig11 is this other guy and it matters a whole lot because 1st guy now on 2nd account thinks it's important but didn't get a response so then kept being a jerk and got banned for second time by insisting Umbig11 is the other guy cause he won't talk to him so created a 3r and/or 4th account to keep suggesting that Umbig11 is the same guy as he first said he was that got him banned for being a jerk in the first place?
it's news to me.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s cousin knows this guy who heard from his neighbor that the 1st guy passed out at 31 Flavors last night. So it’s pretty serious.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Do any of them play Counter Strike?
November 11th, 2018 at 9:41 PM ^
Thank you, Simone.
November 11th, 2018 at 5:49 PM ^
My head hurts after reading that.

I side with umbig11
Also TJ Strongbow
November 11th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Do you mean Chief Jay Strongbow? Saw him in a Texas Death Cage match at Cobo. I was maybe 11.
November 11th, 2018 at 7:27 PM ^
Correct that’s when wrastlin was wrastlin
November 11th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
All the injured players are injured.
i am sure Harbaugh will give a complete and detailed update at his next presser.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:35 PM ^
No! We want inside medical information on these student's conditions! NOW!
November 11th, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
I emailed Zach Smith to discover his secret to twitter blackmail. As soon as I have the doctors set up we'll know all!
November 11th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
tv showed hill walking down the tunnel, wasn't limping or staggering , didn't need help, so if it's a concussion I would guess it isn't severe. Maybe he misses next week but probably back for Ohio, I would assume.
Also curious if Winovich is ok. lol, he landed right on top of another player's bent knee, impacting the crotch area ....
I hope they're able to rest some guys against Indiana. Hope Peters gets some playing time next week. He should have gotten some more Saturday if he's the true #2.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:33 PM ^
I'm praying Winovich's balls are ok. We need him to have a bunch of kids.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
That made me laugh out loud.
November 11th, 2018 at 4:36 PM ^
MgoHillbilly, don’t ever change [heart emoji]
[NOT a heart-on, just a platonic heart emoji]
November 11th, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
Hill is concussion protocol so he will probably sit Indiana and play osu, Solomon sick he will be fine, harbaugh basically said metellus warmed up could have pry played but opted sit to rest, paye is only question mark and he looked like was favoring shoulder when walked off...so there u go
November 11th, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Thank you. This is my thought too. Paye is the only one I am currently worried about.
November 11th, 2018 at 4:44 PM ^
Not necessarily. Jourdan Lewis got a concussion a few years ago and played the next game.
November 12th, 2018 at 7:34 AM ^
Well, a few years is usually enough to recover from a concussion.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
Only one I am scared about is Paye. He didn’t look good walking to tunnel.
If Hill were to miss next week, Ambry can keep using the extra reps. Great to see him get a pick yesterday!
November 11th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
added bonus is having Ambry's speed on the field to run down breakaways, if necessary
November 11th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
That ain't happening again. Don Brown will be sure to correct that.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
I think they are all fine. Nothing season ending. It's also good to get reps to players that normally don't see the field for long clips at a time.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Paye is the only one that I am concerned about missing OSU. Biceps aren't usually sources of someone leaving a game unless it is torn, in which case he's done for the year.
Hopefully just a strain and he can rest and come back for OSU.
November 11th, 2018 at 5:39 PM ^
The way he twisted, and the way he was holding his arm that was exactly what I thought. Or maybe a torn pec.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
I bet Mettellus was more a coaches decision to let Hawkins start in his hometown. He was probably just getting a little extra rest.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
Yep. Metellus wanted to play.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:55 PM ^
What about Martellus though? The FOX announcers loved that guy but he hasn't played much lately,
November 11th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Luckily Indiana is on FS1 so he'll be back next week.
November 11th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
November 11th, 2018 at 1:38 PM ^
All of them will be fine if you go by harbaughs presser. the only one im worried about is Paye.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:44 PM ^
Surprised you guys aren’t talking about Chase getting hit in the balls. Stop trying to figure out injuries without any information (or ability to analyze the info, even if you had it).
November 11th, 2018 at 1:45 PM ^
Paye (arm) and Metellus (soft tissue) will play. Hill TBD. He is in concussion protocol.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
GREAT news on Paye.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:51 PM ^
McCaffery had surgery and will not return until spring.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^
Way to bring me back down
November 11th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
I am laughing pretty hard! I had the same reaction!
*Good news*
Me - Yay!
UMbig11 - You’re too happy. Take this! *breaks out bad news*
Me - ...damnit
