Per VQ

Just talked to a very reliable source.

Nate ament fell on his wrist in practice.

Told that if Tennessee had a game tomorrow Ament would play.

Hopefully we can simmer down on the ‘he might miss the start of the season talk.’

If he just needs a few weeks of rest and it's mild strain/sprain not concerned. If there's any surgery involved then I'm very concerned.

I come home from a stressful and insane day of work, finally sit on my couch at 9 PM and the first thing I see is Nate Ament is hurt and will miss extended time. I hate everything. Why must we suffer? Life is a endless pit of disappointment.

I was told he’s going to miss some extended time, as in likely a couple months, maybe that’s not accurate. It’s his non shooting hand fwiw

I meant to make note of that the other day and gotten busy and forgot. A guy I went to college with attended the father/son camp at UT and his son got a picture with Ament and in the picture I noticed the brace on his left (non-shooting) wrist.

The bigger issue is it likely means less weight training and muscle build in addition to the missed practice reps. He may just have to be downing calories to add "bad weight".

Yeah this is the biggest thing is he desperately needed the summer in weight room. Thankfully happened in July and not September

Wrists are important, but you can modify a lot of exercises to avoid loading them. I doubt it holds him back from too much strength training. Just complicates things for the trainers.

Love it for him, and for us obviously lol…on paper if the 5th rule things passes we’d plausibly be able to return 13/13 guys, but surely Ament will be gone. Even counting him and the seniors if there is no 5th year granted, would still be able to return 9/13.

In the portal era, the odds of returning everyone is extremely low. Heck, we may have someone leave mid season again.
