🏈 The Running Back Predicament..

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

B Rob seems to be banged up. Any news as to how bad?

Trey Sanders seemed to have a little more edge to him despite the 4th down attempt. How is he fairing?

Are there any updates worth noting for our other RB's with respect to the playoffs or a bowl game?

We are up a creek with no paddle. Free floating.

Care to offer any MD insight to us laymen on Wheaton's meniscus issue?

Saban has already said he’s done for the year. Sanders had some flashes yesterday but IMO he needs confidence in his rehab.

I know B Rob has an ankle issue but the last time he went down it looked like he grabbed his hamspring.

Robinson should be okay, but I can't see him not playing this weekend. Sander did okay.

Concerned about Robinson being able to play the entire game w/o aggravating the hamstring. Those things can be hard to heal up and easily reinjured. As far as Sanders I am hoping that if this is a not a physical issue but mental that with him getting more playing time he will start to regain that edge.

I hadn't heard this. I just thought a few weeks ago he was almost getting there.

He's talking about Camar.

The other two are "day to day."

Yeah, I still thought he was making his way back. I hadn't realized he was out for the year.

Hijacking… but has there been any word on Chris Allen? He 11-12 weeks post injury. I would have guess 8-12 weeks for the recovery. Doubt he’d be ready for uGA… but post season?

I thought Sanders came in and gave us a lift. Can he do it for an entire game? No idea, but he stepped up against Auburn.

Obviously don't the extent of the injury, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get one of the newer therapies like stem cell treatment or autologous chondrocyte implantation (using your own cartilage cells to repair the injury) after the initial surgery to repair the tear. All meniscus tears require time, so I'm sure they are being extremely cautious to make sure the injury is 100% healed before putting any stress on that particular knee.

No insider information here, but best guess is that he had a bimalleolar or trimalleolar fracture of the ankle meaning he broke the lower aspects of both Tibia and Fibula. I see this a lot in the ED with falls that roll the ankle. Recovery time alone is 3-4 months. Its possible he could come back for playoffs, but a lot of factors have to come together including his confidence. I wonder if he will apply for a medical redshirt and come back?

 

[94 Grad]

He’s already redshirted so he’d need to request an additional year; although I think 2020 season was a non-counter, right? So in theory he still has a year.

Great point! I'm sure Harris is gone, but if that defense sticks together for another year, it should be excellent next year!

The freshman #15 is getting better and better each game. He was a problem for the Barn yesterday. Sanders getting back healthy gives us even more depth and defensive playmakers.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Robinson likely won't be practicing this week from what I understand... I don't believe he's been ruled out yet, but it doesn't look good as of now for him to play.

Sure looked like the Hammy...

If any organization can get a player healed up with the facilities and staff we have it would be Bama. I think they will have him ready for some carries. Maybe not the normal work load but some. I also think Trey Sanders as a recruit was very confident. He also looked really good before the accident. Here is hoping he becomes the unexpected wild card that lights up UGA.
