Lattimore injury update

[Forty_Sixand2]

Twitter is ablaze with a rumor that it is a broken femur and all four ligaments torn. God I hope that's not true.

Posted this in the SCar thread...hope it isn't true, for his sake.

That was the nastiest thing I've ever seen.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Nothing official until tomorrow, apparently. I am hoping it is not that bad.

Same here

I feel like he blew all his knee ligaments, but the femur would really surprise me

It looked too low to be the femur to me. Looked more like ACL, lcl, and mcl. Maybe the tibia.

twitter rumors..... hmmm......

With all ligaments blown, i would be really surprised if there was enough tension/resistance for a bone break as well


And you forgot pcl

I heard they had to put his knee back in place before they carted him off.

Jeez I would have passed out from all the pain.

I wish him the best. He was a special athlete. Is there anyway he can comeback and redshirt next year and still have a senior season?

It looked like that's what happened

he seemed like a good kid, such a shame to end season like this 2 years in a row

Probably not. PCL usually gets injured from a direct force to the front of the tibia. It's almost impossible to tear your ACL and PCL at the same time.

3 actually. He was injured in the bowl game during his 1st year.

That's so sad man. It reminded me so much of when our WR Tyrone Prothro got injured in a game against UF.

He completely broke both his tibia and fibula, his career was over before it got started good.

That was sad. He made one of the best catches i can remember

After seeing the replay that's what I'm worried about with Lattimore. If it indeed broke, that kinda shit can be not just season ending but career ending.

Shula's stupid ass should be shot for many things, nothing more-so than having him in at that point in the game.

 

[Golden Spur]

I've heard all kinds of rumors, the OP being one of them. I've also read (on a pay site) that there has been no surgery. If he hasn't gone under the knife, and hasn't had an MRI, the proposed situation could not have been determined to be true.

Whatever happens, it's sad, man - ML is a first-class individual.

Pretty sure they did. On the replay, you can see fairly clearly his knee is bent the wrong way and pointing off to the side. ESPN, for whatever reason, zoomed in on his face for awhile and he was literally shaking for either shock or pain while he was being worked on
