Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 2329931, member: 2651"] you might be able to fudge a bit on recovery time, as the healing process isn't hard and fast and there is some murkiness in how fast different people heal, potential setbacks, etc. I don't think you can "fudge" an entire injury, or turn a two weeks injury into a 12 week injury. The documentation involves medical records - x-rays, scans, referrals, notes, etc. A school isn't going to be able to fudge all that. In other words, if a guy goes down in Week 3 with a knee injury that typically heals in 4-6 weeks (in others words, he could possibly be back in Week 9 of the season), but otherwise would be a good redshirt candidate, you could probably get away with the recovery going slowly. A school isn't going to be able to invent the injury, or take someone minor and turn it into a 10 week injury. [/QUOTE]
