Eric said it didn't look good - he didn't come back in after getting hurt. Will know more Monday.

Facebook friends with him and from another GT fan's post on his wall it sounded as if he's ok.

"It doesn't look good" means he'll play this week because apparently we are the Patriots now.

I know that Randy Waters commented that it was his knee and wouldn't be back for the game. The latter was true. Thankfully we wer able to do well any way.

I just hope he's okay (as in not seriously hurt) and can return for ugag if not for Clemson.

 

[UgaBlows]

ok, count me as officially extremely worried about our DT depth. Do we have an emergancy backup plan?

Someone mentioned it in the chat, do our dl not wear braces?

@potatohead
Assume you mean for their knees instead of teeth. Sure that most are out of braces for their teeth, if they ever wore any. For their knees, most don't wear them unless they've had issues in the past.

Tried pasting image with no luck but if you go to AJC main page, then the game gallery and image 7 of 36, you can see braces on several of the OL...Couldn't find good pic of DL.

im impressed by your deductive skills.

It's all about context.

Shawn isn't ruled out for the Clemson game just yet... Will depend on how fast he heals this week.

He will definitely be out Monday...hopefully he can give it a go by Wednesday...if not then he will be good to go after the bye.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

We will really miss him Vs Clemson if he cant go. Don't want him back too soon and aggravate the injury more....but man I hope he is able to go.

It wasn't that long ago when all the OL wore braces on there knees. Times have changed?

Who plays DT on the scout team besides JWD?

 

[awbuzz]

Looked at some of the UVA game and didn't notice any of the Dline with braces. Granted a couple of guys had socks up to their knees and could be covering a brace.

As someone that wears a knee brace to play sports that include lateral movement, i would say it would help more than hurt. It gives you more confidence in your ability to play, but from the medical standpoint they say it doesn't help your leg get stronger. I have had patella dislocation on several occasions, which is not necessarily the same as a ACL type injury, but it sucks all the same...

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

The problem I have with knee braces is that they actually make you more injury prone because they weaken the muscles around the knee longterm. If you've had a knee injury, they'll help prevent recurrence but you always have to train without the brace and only play with it. I am sure our training staff is on top of that, though.
