Get the nerves of the injury out now. |

Has Hunter participated in any scrimmage yet?
Like I said, a huge risk for no reward. | |

| How is practicing in a live scrimmage no reward? He has to get used to game speed again and get back the mental aspect of the game. You have to put him back on the field at some point in order to get his confidence back. There is never a guarantee in football...or life. I like it. GBO. | |

| He was injured without contact.
It's football. Stuff happens. If he's cleared, he's cleared | |

| The game itself is a risk for the entire team. Every time they step on the field there are risks involved, that's the game. Stop being a nancy and pull your skirt up. Hunter's been practicing all spring and is ready to play. He has to test it eventually and if he does well in the O&W game it will help his mental recovery. | |

Can you imagine the utter meltdown that would occur should he get injured again? He has the entire summer and fall practice to get back to game ready. Quote:

| If he is cleared to go, who are we as armchair doctors to say otherwise? He could tear his ACL walking down the sidewalk. | |

| Regardless of how the team plays and/or the stats that come from the O&W game, this guy right here will be happy as long as #11 goes injury-free... | |
