The good news is we still have some depth at DT to absorb this kind of blow. But all things being equal, would much much prefer Hobbs to be out there.

It's unfortunate that he can't stay healthy. That is the way it goes sometimes, though.

What is the injury? Like broken foot?

Not sure yet.

Poor guy. Can’t catch a break.

What does multiple weeks mean? from now? or when the season begins

What does multiple weeks mean? from now? or when the season begins

Multiple weeks implies that it is more than two weeks at least. It means from now.

Hopefully we have him for UGA

Bailey and West probably see some time at DT.

Is that really true? Eason, Moi, then….?

With the season opener less than two weeks away, Hobbs’ timeline for return will likely be after the season is already underway.

Hope he is able to recover before Georgia…I had the tight rope procedure and a bunch of other stuff done June 4th and I’m still in a boot…no way I’ll be playing against Georgia…lol!

 

[volbound1700]

I hate it more for him than us. Never fun to go through that...

 

[Legion of Doom]

We are deep there. We are fine.

 

[VolInDayton]

Get healthy soon. We will get by without him but he could be the difference in the room being good and great.

There is a specific injury where this procedure is employed to correct. How did your injury occur? Does this correlate to Hobbs in anyway?
Dropping a tight rope procedure reference into a “couple of weeks setback” discussion makes me queasy. Almost as bad as elbow flexor “discomfort”.

You’re never deep enough when the injury bug hits. This means another less talented, less experienced player will step into the spotlight.

According to AP, the latest Hobbs will be back is by the MSU game. We should have the talent to survive Syracuse, ETSU, and UAB without him.... it's the UGA game that I worry about.

Not winning that one regardless so I'd rest him through the UGA game just to be sure he's good to go for the rest of the year.

Redshirt him

Sorry - I forgot how we are about our Football. I have no knowledge of his injury. Hopefully his is minor but I doubt we’ll know the details.


I did have the tightrope procedure done as part of an ankle overhaul. But they also cut a couple of wedges out of my bones, broke my bones in two places, replaced one of the ligaments with a cadaver and then tied it to the other ligament. It was eight billable procedures as the doctor joked and I will be out of my boot next week but still have a long way to go to get back to hiking.
