Just checking to see if anyone has information on how he is doing ?

 Thanks 

[BTG_Fan1]

In a soft cast, and was at the doctors today.

I don't have a good feeling about this. Seems like a much more serious break than was originally reported. Complications?

I believe those "original reports" weren't from the team but fans trying to compare his injury to others.  Hopefully there's been no complications and this is just part of the process.

How Long Does Bone Healing Take? 

Bone generally takes six to 12 weeks to heal to a significant degree. In general, children's bones heal faster than those of adults. The foot and ankle surgeon will determine when the patient is ready to bear weight on the area. This will depend on the location and severity of the fracture, the type of surgical procedure performed and other considerations.

 

I believe the break was announced a week or two before the season started. That was five months (20 weeks) ago.

Not being critical. But once again, I don't have a good feeling about this.

I agree, but I don't think that article is referencing 5'10" 315 lbs defensive linemen.  I hope they are just being careful at this point and that he will be ready to roll in a month.

Agree with your ominous feelings. The eternal optimist part of me is screaming "Abundance of caution!" in my ear. Maybe the guys calling the shots want to keep him off it as long as possible. Just SWAG.

[greenjoe]

I have doubts he will ever see the field.

That is what the "doubting Thomas" part of me is screaming in my other ear! :)

I will be pleasantly surprised if he ever plays a snap here.

Which is why I have been wanting more DL's (interior)  signed during this recruiting period.

FIFY

Or maybe he will see the field and this is why we didn't see more DL's (interior) signed during this recruiting period.

Keep a happy thought.

I'll try to do the same. 

[DeepGreen]

He's still in a boot?  This does not good.

[TreeFiddy]

This is Texas.  He probably has a boot on the other foot as well.

Unfortunately, the hardest positions to recruit TX HS recruits for are linemen. And now that this state basically plays glorified 7-on-7 at the HS level, those big dudes are getting harder and harder to find.

LOL!  Very good, Sir!

[4MYMGE]

He was out of the original boot and could have possibly played in December.  Something else has gone wrong...

[Ben Gooding]

No way this staff isn't for sure he'll play and not get serious about getting a JUCO DT to fill that void. TBH, they should have either way, but if his career is a wrap it will be a monumental mistake not doing so. 

[Venson]

According to Brett Vito, he has to have a second surgery and will miss spring ball. They hope he will be ready by summer.

Unless they consulted the team orthopedist.

Krasniqi is now gone as well, this is not shaping up the way we hoped. 

[RBP79]

This ain't good...will he ever suit up for a NT game????? This was a worse break than we were led to believe. That defensive line continues to be questionable.

Nope. The lack of DL on the roster paired with the lack of what we have coming in for interior DL is concerning. I really don't know what this staff is thinking or doing. The average of average running games we face are going to have heydays vs UNT.
