Hooker injury (edit)

[BanditVol]

I would assume that's his ankle?

The NFL has rules that coaches must comment on injured players (likely to due gambling, lol). Does the NCAA have similar rules? If so, when is Heupel required to comment?

Edit: I misread a KNS article that briefly mentioned Milton's lower leg injury right after discussing Hooker, and so thought Hooker's injury was being described as a "lower leg injury". I have now corrected that.

I don’t think Heupel is required to comment on his status. I could be wrong.

Don't think Heupel has to a say a word.

Should be ready to go then. I thought the guy just wrenched his upper body in an awkward way.

Coaches don't have to comment.

Really the only reliable thing is who takes the #1 reps this week. If Hooker is taking at least half then he's playing.

With Hooker starting we have a good shot at beating Mizzou. If either of the other QB's start it will be a long day offensively.

Exactly. Hoping he has made a speedy recovery.

Tiyon Evans had a "lower leg" injury against Florida as well.

And still played until the end......

In college they don’t have to provide an injury update like the NFL.

True. He had to catch his breath for a few plays which I can assure you he earned with that eggplant tap.

Third leg injury. Dirty Gator trash.

Correction, I misread this article from KNS. It was referring to Milton, not Hooker.

Tennessee Vols QB Hendon Hooker injured in Florida game, replaced by Joe Milton

My apologies, that's what I get from skimming

But...this is great news, as it means that Hooker's ability to run likely not impacted, and we are going to need that.

Additionally have seen multiple items implying Hooker will be the guy Saturday, which is also great news.

Wait...I thought Hooker was in concussion protocol...rumored. Mayes had an ankle problem and broken finger with Milton having a leg injury?

I hope he has another LL injury again against Missouri the way he played against Florida.

Every Friday night I’m just hoping for a healthy Hooker!

AHH! Indeed, for what would Vols world be without a Captain Hook?

Hooker practiced this morning.

It wouldn't be a long day with Milton because he can run. Bailey could probably beat them too.

It literally just comes down to whether or not we make inexcusable mistakes and a litany of penalties.

Mizzou is a pile of garbage on D.

 

[MyVolsDropped]

So much confusion and injuries in this thread.

Who's on first??!

A few years back the NCAA decided that injury information was a violation of HIPPA. Could have been thought up by coaches not wanting to disclose information but protects that information.

If it's Milton, I put 8 in the box and make him beat me. I'll take my chances with him under center vs Hooker.

CJH specifically said Hooker is not in the concussion protocol on Monday.

The NFL is upfront and honest about their fan base gambling on its games. Therefore, they require teams to state injury status.
THE NCAA, however, is not honest about its fan base gambling on its games. Therefore, there is no such requirement in college.
