Patterson thinks Chase Winovich will play
Sounds like bruised ribs..

Quarterback Shea Patterson, Winovich's roommate, delivered some more promising news Tuesday after practice about his availability for Saturday's game at No. 10 Ohio State.
"(You'd) have to kill him to take him out," Patterson said. We're not really sure his progress yet. He's a tough guy."
"I've talked to him, he says he's feeling better. I'd assume he'd play, but you never know the severity of it. Knowing him, I think he'll play."
Junior defensive end Rashan Gary said he hopes Winovich will be healthy enough to face the Buckeyes, although he declined to say if he practiced Tuesday.
"I was just talking with Chase earlier, he is pumped up, he is ready, getting ready," Gary said. "I really couldn't tell you, but hopefully he does play. But most importantly, he has to take care of his body."

Pure speculation on the whole Bruised rib thing.. I have zero idea. It was my guess when he was shoved #72 hit his ribs just perfectly.. Could still be anything..
November 20th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
I was thinking about this earlier today. I thought if it truly is something more pain related that he can play through then my money would be on him playing and playing with minimal limitation.
If it is bruised ribs or something of that nature then I have a hard time believing he won't play. Chase is a warrior and lives for games like these, especially considering it will be his last chance to play OSU.

Devin played with severely bruised ribs, thanks to our OL. IIRC, he played with a flack jacket. Maybe that could work for Chase.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
Devin also played with a broken foot. He was superhuman
November 21st, 2018 at 9:00 AM ^
Don't forget about a broken foot. And he still threw for 400+ yards and ran all over OSU's defense. If Borges had the common sense to change up his playcall on the final play of the game, Gardner likely would've been carried off the field and would be remembered for arguably the greatest performance against OSU for any Michigan player, regardless of position. Better than Howard, Woodson, Harmon, and Biakabatuka, in my mind. He quite literally had the entire team on his back that day, in a game where Michigan was vastly overmatched and had no business even being on the same field as OSU, let alone win.
Instead, people will only remember that we lost. OSU called timeout to adjust, and Borges didn't change the playcall. OSU knew EXACTLY what was coming. Thanks for nothing, asshole. You wasted a performance for the ages from Devin Gardner.
Yes, I'm still bitter about that game, if you couldn't tell.
November 21st, 2018 at 9:44 AM ^
Borges was just saving our best 2-point conversion play for Kansas State in the bowl game.
November 21st, 2018 at 12:06 AM ^
It's pretty clear, he's saving himself for the draft.
/s just in case
November 20th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Good!

+1 my friend. Well done
November 20th, 2018 at 10:40 PM ^
you jump on chase ribs....
November 20th, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
If it's really just bruised ribs, I'd love to understand why Chase's parents were escorted up the tunnel after his injury.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
Perhaps they thought it was worse, just like when Paye hit his funny bone maybe Chase thought it was something worse.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
Cuz they wanted to go see their injured son?
November 20th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
Lol. Fair. That was a devastatingly ominous moment when that tweet showed up in my feed and I having a hard time getting past that feeling
November 20th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
Guessing it's because he was being sent to the hospital for further test. They probably accompanied him.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
Because it was his last home game in the Big House and they obviously weren't going to put him back in so they went to be with their son
November 20th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
This is all 1,000,000x better than what I thought had happened. During the game, I was convinced I'd never see him play for UM again.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
Sorry to thread-Jack but WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!!!
The side ads that normally show the hairy naked guy hoodies is now advertising THIS!
Who's avatar will be next?
November 20th, 2018 at 10:19 PM ^
Faux mo was always here
November 21st, 2018 at 12:22 AM ^
He's been living on your jacket.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:48 PM ^
Your avatar on a hoodie would look fetching.
November 21st, 2018 at 5:58 AM ^
Kinda glad to know I wasn't the only one getting the hairy naked hoodie ad - I assumed it was a targeted ad and wondered why tf I was getting those
November 21st, 2018 at 9:13 AM ^
I believe I'' ather see almost any ad on the internet over the hairy naked hoodie or the meat shirt ads. I don't know how I would react if I ever meet someone wearing one of those.
November 21st, 2018 at 4:21 AM ^
Yep! For his own sake I want him to be able to get out there against Ohio and do some damage. Even if he's used sparingly. Then he'll have some time to recover before the CFP, if we make it.
B1G Championship game is Dec 1 and probably the team can get by without him if necessary.
Semifinal games / Bowls are not until Dec 29th.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
PLEASE BE TRUE.
PLEASE BE TRUE.
PLEASE BE TRUE.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
Me thinks they'd have to shoot him with a tranq dart and lock him in a jail cell to keep him off the field.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
As if that would stop him
November 20th, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
Better make it the kind they use on big mammals like Elephants or something. That's what it would take.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
I agree, but if he does suit up and play we can then wonder about his effectiveness and worry about him if they get a big run by him or he is getting blocked by their OL. And we can add that worry to the thousand other worries and concerns running through our minds Saturday! Pure torture! Yippee! #pleasewin
November 20th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
That’s what I call good news boys!
November 20th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
If it's bruised ribs, any MGoDoctors know what is being done to help advance the healing process?
November 20th, 2018 at 9:20 PM ^
I hear tell that lots of whole milk is just thing!
November 20th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
and steak. Really hope he is healthy and can play - difference maker on multiple levels.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
Maybe a McRib sandwich?
November 21st, 2018 at 3:10 AM ^
I'm a doctor and my specialty is McDonalds medicine. The treatment for bruised ribs is actually to tape the McRib right over the bruising. The sweet, sweet meat juice from the McRib will pass into Chase's bruised tissue via osmosis. If they got him prompt treatment, he should be ready to go by Saturday.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
Not an MGoDoctor but have had bruised ribs on 2 occasions, and I can say they are super painful. Not debilitating to everyday life, but super uncomfortable.
A nice IV of pain meds could do some real magic
November 20th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
It hurts to breathe and move your upper body. Other than that everything is peachy.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
November 20th, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
A good barbecue sauce goes nicely with braised ribs.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
I've had both bruised and cracked ribs. There didn't seem to be much difference between the two to me. Both are exceptionally painful and only time will heal the injury. In my case, it was months before I could even breathe without pain.
But I'm not Chase Winovich
November 21st, 2018 at 12:21 AM ^
Yeah, wrap the shit out of the rib area and give some pain killers. Adrenaline will handle the rest.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Nothing for bruised ribs, just time.
November 20th, 2018 at 10:39 PM ^
I'd prescribe him some Cialis.
November 20th, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
Buckeye tears.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Godspeed young man
November 20th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
This will be the Willis Reed moment. Chase will get 2 snaps with minimal contact and his Band of Brothers will respond by pounding OSU into the ground.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
I could easily see this happening. It seemed like the defense amped it up vs IU after he left the game. So, yeah
November 20th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
I think he chugs a few gallons of whole milk, they duct tape his shoulder/torso/or whatever he hurt up and he plays!
November 20th, 2018 at 9:23 PM ^
And steak. No fuckin chikin.
November 20th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
It's a nervous bird.
