I think CBK said they were waiting on medical clearance. He said “we don’t like to rush athletes back too soon after an injury and risk something worse.”Has anything been confirmed on Cooley or Alexander injuries?
Alexander played. Stat Line was 5 carries for 23 yards - so he must be ok.Has anything been confirmed on Cooley or Alexander injuries?
Pretty sure those stats were before he came out holding his collar bone area. I never saw him back in after that.Alexander played. Stat Line was 5 carries for 23 yards - so he must be ok.
What? There hasn‘t been any clarity on injuries at all this entire off season or the past 10 days. We know nothing about Cooley. We didn’t know anything about Seither for weeks after it happened. We don’t know anything about Alexander. I’m fine with not knowing but you can’t say Key doesn’t hide or delay info. He absolutely does and I’m fine with it. That’s why you recruit guys like Carrie who stay ready so they don’t have to get ready.Key hasn't been one to hide or delay information if a guy is seriously injured and out for weeks if not the season.
I’m not entirely sure if this is true. A quick google search is kind of iffyWith HIPAA the GTAA cannot reveal injury information without written permission. Getting permission is a formal process, so Key is simply following the law. He is not being cagey.
Here’s a good overviewI’m not entirely sure if this is true. A quick google search is kind of iffy
The patient has to sign a release for the information. Pretty standard HIPAA. There is no reason why a coach would ask a player to sign a release and it would be up to the patient.I’m not entirely sure if this is true. A quick google search is kind of iffy
When D.J. Moore and the TEs Seither and Jackson Long went down for the season, he announced that right away.What?

Adding onto the statements CBK made, it very much sounded like he was alluding to a concussion "protocol" " medical clearance". Cooley maybe? Hope he is feeling better and we get him back this week or next if that was the case.I think CBK said they were waiting on medical clearance. He said “we don’t like to rush athletes back too soon after an injury and risk something worse.”
That’s all I’ve heard. Rest may be HIPAA and why we haven’t heard specifics.
They didn't say anything about Siether until the swelling went down and they did the MRI. So, the delay was not knowing, not keeping it a secret. Also, there are laws talking about medical stuff. If the player doesn't want it discussed, it can't be. That being said, why share if you don't have to?What?

Thanks. So how are the SEC and B1G getting teams to release injury reports….Here’s a good overview
Deadspin | Do HIPAA Laws Apply to Athletes?
Deadspin | Do HIPAA Laws Apply to Athletes?deadspin.com
- HIPAA laws are for medical care providers
- Pro athletes usually have clauses in their contracts which allow the leagues to release injury information. College sports don’t have this
- There are still privacy rights in the US, mostly based on judicial precedent
- There’s also the idea of TMI, and whether fans and opponents should get more detail than “dinged up and week to week”. I wouldn’t want my medical info plastered on the internet. I don’t think players want that either
