Heupel’s Handling of Major Injuries

[lukeneyland]

What is gained by stringing along the story about players with major injuries like Jerrod McCoy and Ricky Gibson III suggesting week after week they might come back this season? If Heupel is saying this publicly that’s what he’s telling the team too. Seems to me that isn’t good for team cohesiveness any way you cut it.

Just say out indefinitely, most likely for the season and call it a day. If it’s gamesmanship, I’m sorry - I see absolutely no benefit.

Heupel doesn’t owe us any information or explanation

"Couldn't." Sorry. Had to be that guy. Just a pet peeve of mine.

I should have known better! My mother was an English teacher. All good! Great catch!

I could be wrong, but I thought that it was announced that Gibson would be out the rest of the season shortly after he sustained his injury. Also, there were reports that McCoy was making progress and would likely return, but he had setbacks. I’m not sure why they haven’t officially ruled him out for the rest of the season.

It was. People can be told 1000x that Gibson is out for the season, then kept asking when he’ll come back. Apparently, it’s Heupel’s fault.

He’s not suggesting that Gibson will come back. He hasn’t all season.

He’s saying that McCoy is working to play this season because he is.

Hope this helps.

What exactly is Gipson's injury?

Pec tear. First week is eval, diagnosis and plan, then surgery. Nobody was stringed along.
Another case of people always searching for something to be upset about.

A lot of time spent with People trying to conjure up things on CJH.
Blow some leaves do something productive!

Im sure that the team knows exactly what the injury is and how long they will be out. In the end they are most likely going to be like family to each other. They will look at each other like brothers or at least i hope thats what its like there. It was like for me while i was playing high school ball.
