Help me fill out the injury list, please.

by Hooper on Aug 25, 2009 8:34 PM EDT Comment 24 comments

Over the last few weeks, I've slowly built up a roster file for a personal reference; this last week has given me the unfortunate realization that adding injury statuses (stati?) would be a good idea. I've sifted through the archives and found most of our presently-infirmed footballers, but I'm not sure that I got them all.

Is there anybody else besides the following?

Josh McNeil - knee - status indefinite
Gerald Jones - ankle - expected 9/19
Denarius Moore - broken foot - expected 9/26
Austin Rogers - ACL - done for the year/career
Toney Williams - ACL - done for the year

I find it a little odd that all of the injured players I found were from the offensive side of the ball. That's partly why I feel like I'm missing somebody. Am I?

Thanks for the help.

(Note: my 'expected back by' times are highly approximate; I took the time of injury and the window of opportunity for a return and chose the Saturday closest to the middle. It's just a reference point, not a prognosis.)

Vinson is still struggling with his shoulder.

Right.

I’m not sure how to handle wounded-yet-playable. Is he playable? I have completely lost track on this.

by Hooper on Aug 25, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah

There’s a bunch of those from Herman Lathers, Rico McCoy, Bryce Brown, etc. etc.

I think sticking with injuries that make them at best questionable for WKU is probably the way to go.

Tennessee WILL beat Georgia on the way to 9+ wins in '09!!!

Found Vinson

he’s back in practice, so I’ll leave him off the list. Since basically every player, sans kickers, are dinged up to some degree, I think I’ll try to stick to the out-of-action guys only. We’ll see how it goes.

Don't start with the receivers

You’ll tire and won’t be able to finish.

Jesse Scroggins -a momentary lapse of judgement – 2/3/2010

by danmarcel on Aug 25, 2009 11:17 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

If Barkley does well, Scroggins just might change his mind. But I still think it’s a serious uphill battle, even at that. There are a lot of USC ties around him, and it’s harder to sever connections than to not make them in the first place.

Heh

That’s funny. Although, and I speak from abundant experience, recovery from lapse of judgment often takes years.

Let's hope my wife never recovers from her lapse of judgment

I married up – way up – and I hope she never figures it out. Odds are pretty good for me approaching 20 years that she’d figure it’s too late to cut her losses anyway. It’s funny – other than her choice in husband, she’s normally a smart lady… ;)

I have read that Rico McCoy and Brent Vinson were also injured but I do not know how serious. My feel is that they are just minor injuries and these guys would not miss any games.

by smythejd on Aug 26, 2009 10:22 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Vinson is in practice.

I believe McCoy is as well, but I’m not 100% on him. Right now, if they’re good enough to be considered available for games, I’m going to leave them off the list. I can’t keep track of the bajillion minor injuries that happen during the season.

by Hooper on Aug 26, 2009 10:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Vinson was held out of practice again

Something about his eye or something.

Heh.

I’m not sure about that exactly, but I’ve already got you on the PUP list (along with every other blogger on the block…)

In the words of hooper:

phfenominal

Eric Berry for sending the guy who wins the Heisman spinning 720 degrees in the air at the podium - or for intercepting it and returning it to where it rightfully belongs
