QB Johnson injured - UPDATE

[ATL1]

Yeah, if this holds he’s my frontrunner for starter.

Wonder what the probability of him getting a medical RS after this year if he wanted it.

 

[Madison Grant]

Went back and re-watched some of his spring game highlights. He looked good passing and running. I'm surprised he wasn't the starter before his injury in Fall.

Be careful getting too hopeful. Lisfranc injuries are notoriously difficult to recover from and re-occur if you come back even the slightest bit too early. I believe that this injury is what sidelined Andrew Marshall for nearly 1 1/2 years...

Yeah that's what I was thinking when I saw that. I swear we had another guy in the past 10-15 years who's career got completely derailed by a Lisfranc injury (not talking about Marshall here either, I think there was another). I hope he's truly back at full strength by spring, that'd be a HUGE help in trying to learn the offense and compete for a starting role.

“Johnson is recovering from a tear of the Lisfranc ligament in his foot this past preseason. Anderson said that Johnson expects to be 100 percent by spring practice.“

I think he already redshirted, so I don't think he could get a year back.

Geez! This old topic being bumped up shook me for a sec.

Me too.

He could apply for a medical Redshirt. Tim Byerly did it a few years ago but was denied since he did play in a few games.

The problem isn't getting the medical redshirt, it's getting an extension of the 5 year window which I think requires two years to be impacted by injuries, or similar situations.

They're both granted by the NCAA, so they generally go hand-in-hand.
