Besides Smelter we expect everyone to be ready to go vs FSU.

Lordy I hate that for DeAndre, I wasn't expecting him top play against free shoes but it just sucks!

Well this is good news about Zenon and Days! thanks for getting this info out here as always Eric.

Davis cleared concussion protocol and is good to go?

 

[GTJoeBrew]

When is Smelter going to have surgery?

CPJ just said yesterday that we expect everyone to be ready to go Saturday.

Is Deandre's tear partial or full?

 

[Eric]

@GTJoeBrew

Next week I think.

@dressedcheeseside

Haven't heard the staff say what it is.

 

[mqpayne]

Any practice news Eric.

 

[Sean311]

Hate it for Smelter..his draft stock was soaring too..I hope he makes a speedy recovery and blows everyone away at the combine.

 

[GTJoeBrew]

Thanks Eric. What kind of recovery is he looking at? Might he be able to participate in the combine?

I believe it will depend on the extent of the tear. If it is a full tear, he probably will not be available for the combine.

 

[ybeenormal]

When is the combine? The draft is in April????? So the combine would have to be before then. Don't see how he can make it

 

[ybeenormal]

Combine is February 17 - 23

 

[GTJoeBrew]

Here's an excert the I grabbed from medicinenet.

How long does it take to recover from a torn ACL?
Rehabilitation and return to normal function after surgical repair of an ACL tear can take six to nine months. There needs to be a balance between trying to do too much work in physical therapy returning strength and range of motion and doing too little. Being too aggressive can damage the surgical repair and cause the ligament to fail again. Too little work lengthens the time to return to normal activities.

 

[GTJoeBrew]

No way he makes the combine.

 

[jeffgt14]

No way he participates in the combine. Not even Adrian Peterson could recover that fast.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Snoddy is still out too, isn't he?

Not cool...
