Hate to hear this as it’s been over eight weeks.  The good news is we are playing okay without him 

[greeneagle1]

I will make the same sound I made when the ref gave the touchdown to Sturm or whoever from UTSA.....

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 

I really hope he gets better soon. Sad to see this happen to him. 

[EagleMBA]

I would like to see him on the field...when he can go full speed without re-injuring that foot. Better to have him for three or four games at the end of the year than one-and-done, IMHO.

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

would a medical redshirt be out of the cards for this young man?

[Withers940]

I really hate it for this guy. He worked his ass off and now cant get back onto the field because of a dang foot injury. I hope he stays positive and gets that upper body strength to BEAST MODE levels. 

[golfingomez]

good on the coaches, do not have this kid come back until he is 100% healthy.

When I heard of the injury I thought the UTSA game was very much a reach. If I recall I said he'll be back around for the last 3-4 games just on the touchiness of feet injuries.

GMG!

Yes, unless they can prove when he took his first redshirt in 2015 that it was due to injury and not just a conventional redshirt. Now if he missed 70% of a future season due to injury, then he could have a case there.

[Green Crazy]

i would bet he's not back for ODU, but i i hope he practices next week at least in some capacity and is available for the La Tech game.

[southsideguy]

we are not p6 conference member so the ncaa will not give us a break.

[outoftown]

So he is still not even practicing?

[Shark84]

If he doesn't suit out this year he should definitely qualify for a medical red shirt. Even for a North Texas player!

Not likely, but he did lose the cart and the pump/whatever else he had...

Guys if he was just cleared for weight bearing he's still got a LOOOOONG time to go before being on the field. If he was just cleared I'd be surprised to see him play this year. Maybe in a bowl game, but if he was just cleared, he will have to gain ROM back, and gain strength from atrophy and tolerance for walking. Playing football is a long time away. We should not even think about him being back for a good bit.

Well, I am afraid you are right, but I wonder why SL is not just coming out and saying that BE is likely done for the season and instead is keeping it as possibility from game to game. The details available are frustratingly sparse.

It is also just so very disappointing, as many of us were reeeeaaally looking forward to seeing him in green. Not having him renders our d-line really paper thin.

This is starting to become the Raveyon thread part 2.  How about let's all agree he will not play this season because it is in the best for him and the program for him to completely heal?  And if he is released it will be a pleasant surprise to us all.  Deal?

Probably doesn't want to kill the kids spirits, in therapy, motivation is a huge part of recovery.

at this point it might be better to try and get a medical redshirt.

I'm saying he wouldn't have a case based on this season alone. The NCAA rule is that a player has to miss at least 70% of his team's games in TWO different seasons.

I thought it was 75%, but your point is absolutely correct.  And that 75% has to be for medical reasons in both years.

Yes, thanks. I knew in football the number was 3 games or less and I didn't bother verifying the percentage so thanks for the backup
