Georgia and Tennessee Injury Reports

nope, its not. the top programs redshirt the majority of their classes. Build to keep the ball rollling.
With the 5 year rule almost certain to pass, redshirting will be dead. There'd be no point to it. I'm not even sure it would exist anymore.

Curious....If a player remains injured long enough and decides to redshirt, they still get their NIL money correct? They could theoretically get paid for this year and transfer in the next portal opening with full eligibility remaining?

Ewers signed at Ohio State his freshman year and got a million bucks. Transferred after that year.

Yes they get NIL as long as they show up at events that are scheduled

Optimistic about some of the Questionable defensive players playing? Or doubtful?
Optimistic on Weathersby. Not so much on others. Seems very doubtful on Moi and Sanders.

They haven’t practiced much if any this week

I'm guessing Sanders injury is worse than we've been led to believe. Perry has looked good in his spot, stinks about Moi he seemed poised for a great season.

It’s a stinger which is nerve damage and it certainly has turned out worse than initial thoughts. He is still experiencing weakness.

Stinger that persists for 3 weeks? Concerning. They typically resolve much sooner. This may take some time to untangle. Roll with who you got and let the medical staff work this up carefully.

Playing high school ball, I had one that ended up being a bulged disc in my neck, causing a pinched nerve and subsequent weakness in my right arm. The result was the end of my football career. I wasn't any good and had no chance of playing even D3, but the orthopedic surgeon told me that if I thought about trying that he wouldn't clear me. Once a disc starts to bulge, it takes a long time to heal to the point where it stops bulging.

I hope this is not the case for Sanders. While Google MD says a disc can start to heal in 2-6 weeks, that is for the normal population that does not get constantly hit by 300 lb defensive ends. If he is experiencing weakness, then he will need a lot of PT to get healed up.

Great. So our best two 5* offensive line recruits of the past decade, Trey Smith and David Sanders, both have been unable to begin their careers at Tennessee due to their health.

One with blood clots who is seemingly fine now, and the other with a “common” stinger that has manifested to nerve damage and missing 1/4 of the season thus far. There must be something in the water in Knoxville. You can’t make this stuff up.

You are misremembering Trey Smith's situation.

Also on the topic of Sanders: I think people are a little star struck by his recruiting profile. No doubt he can be a superstar, but true freshman rarely make a difference on the offensive line. UGA has one true freshman on their line, with everybody else being at least a JR, majority RS JR and SR. Same with most of the top teams in the country.

I like the guys we have this year and Sanders can heal up and get stronger this season to have a stronger start next year.

I am, however you’re missing the main point. Trey Smith missed time here because of the blood clots, regardless of when they occurred.
It matters because he was an All- American as a true freshman. He played a whole season and stood out.

We haven’t even seen Sanders play one snap.

Not even close though o being the same situation.

Im sorry, you’re wrong. It is close to the same situation in that they were both 5 star O-line recruits who missed multiple games as underclassman. I never said a stinger was a similar medical situation to blood clots?

Also… No, he wasn’t an “All-American” as a freshman, he was a “Freshman All-American.” Big difference. Roshaun Fellows was also a “freshman all American” way back in 2004. Remember him? Most people don’t. You know why? Because being a freshman all American doesn’t mean anything significant.

Started out as he wasn't feeling well. Led me to think it was an illness. Now it's an injury that remains a problem? Seems very odd. Even Heupel seemed a bit put off a while back during a press conference I believe. Kinda wonder if we don't see either Gibson or Sanders again this season?

I was just correcting you on Trey Smith. Just a minor detail. Not a big deal. We have stud OL. I'm not bothered.
It’s all good, we both know you commented on that point even if you say you didn’t. No need to play coy. Also, no need to correct tertiary details that are irrelevant to the point just for the sake of arguing.

probably compressed his suprascapular nerve, it's referred to as a stinger but not in the way most think of a stinger
