Our OL Depth is Scary Thin

[Brasky]

We were at code orange before today. Then come to find out Knevel has an ankle and Conrad finally had to be thrown to the wolves.

So that's

Foster - out for season
Farmer - High ankle sprain out indefinitely
Knevel - Ankle out indefinitely
Barnett - who knows, staff says nagging minor injuries. No meaningful snaps ever played.
Wilson - not going to burn his redshirt at this point

We've also lost two scout team OL according to Riley

If Whitaker goes down, coach Cav said Conrad is his backup. Cav said Conrad is EVERYONE'S backup.

If we were code orange before today, we are officially at defcon fuck. Code red. Sound the alarm.

We still have 7 B1G games to get through. This is no bueno.

Pile on top of that we could be missing Carter, Westerkamp, Ozigbo, Wilbon and Moore all indefinitely.

Thank god for bye weeks.

 

[tometom]

yea, the injuries from yesterday were bad and the week before i guess. hopefully Farmer and Knevel can get back with the bye week. no clue on Barnett.

and yea, the skill positions too, man that injury bug stinks.

Read that Westy was in hospital but then released. Any word on an injury. I think they may have been worried about a kidney laceration...

I haven't heard anything, but the kidney laceration was my first thought too.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

My first thought was hip dislocation.

At the start of camp we were looking great with the interior guy's, we may get healthier in the bye. The right side of the line has been getting crushed the way it was so a new guy or two might not be all that bad

Seemed way too low for a kidney laceration. Think about where your Kidneys are at.

I'm so glad the bye week is now!!

God after doing more research this sounds like exactly what could have happened.

"A direct blow to the back most commonly causes kidney injuries."

Where he was favoring his injury was right where you would have pain if your Kidney was injured.

Yep. Believe me, I know. Still no word?

Tommy put a post on instagram directed at Jordan that just said "I'm glad you're okay". That could mean "I'm glad you didn't die" or "I'm glad you're perfectly fine".

"Defcon Fuck"

lol

 

[huskers1217]

yes..but we are playing Indiana who barely beat Ball St and lost to Wake



ignore last weeks game

 

[huskers1217]

and purdue is really a bye week...seriously.

so we have 3 weeks to get healthy

 

[Brasky]

Yep. Believe me, I know. Still no word?

I really do not want to get the label of "having a source" put on me, but I know today 100% for a fact that Westy has a bruised rib/s.

Ozigbo should be fine. Everyone has pretty minor bumps and bruises except for Cethan. That one's gonna be a little more long term.

If it is only bruised ribs, that is about the best case scenario from that shot in the back. He should be back for Indiana...

Yep.

Everyone but Cethan should barring something unforeseen. We're fine.
