Again, this is only based on tone and body language. An added layer to this is the new redshirt rule. Let's say he isn't ready until November. There might be a temptation to hold him out and just play him twice more, thereby saving a year of eligibility.
Yes. I was guessing a knee injury, but not the ACL. Maybe the MCL or meniscus. Henry Anderson missed about 6 games with an MCL sprain in his last year IIRC.
I think the goal is to get well enough to play, and then see how much he’s needed before making the redshirt decision. There will be plenty of opportunity next year with the RT spot opening up.
Does anyone know if Brandon Simmons is anywhere close? We seem okay at Safety for now, but if our starters are injured, depth could be important. I can imagine it’s hard for him to be out, as a 5th year player and captain.
