Garrett Williams and Field Turf

[upperdeck]

the recovery period from these injuries is really an unknown person to person. its about blood flow isnt it and they have lots of other ways to help the body recover that didnt exist that many years ago.

From google:
Returning to Activity & Sports After a Thigh Contusion
Moderate to severe contusions take an average of 4 to 6 weeks to heal. Minor contusions take considerably less time. If you put too much stress on the injured area before it is healed, excessive scar tissue may develop.

That's for normal slobs like us. Not world class athletes who are having their injuries nursed around the clock by a team of professionals

I wouldn't be surprised if Tucker has some deep thigh bruises also.

Was just about to say this. His explosion and thrust is not in top gear. Feels like he’s somewhere between 70-90%. Of course he had to play vs Wagner…. records… something something.

How about Isaiah Johnson though coming in and making plays. Crazy how every backup is stepping up, hard to comprehend

The cool thing about Isaiah Johnson is that he has starting experience at Dartmouth, earning All Ivy honors. He is not an 18 year old just out of HS. Plus as a Grad transfer, he already has his Ivy League degree. He also has another year of eligibility next year.

White rotates all his players plus I bet all of the defense is locking in and learning and improving which leads to minimal drop off

I'm pretty sure his issue is in his calf based on the tight wrap/sleeve he had on it yesterday.

 

[721Comstock]

When did this happen? Still don't know. He made a play...then celebrated and seemed fine. Then wasn't.

I think that GW got an accidental knee in the thigh from Mikel on that MOB tackle.

It takes a few moments for the pain & swelling to start.
So, that’s why he popped up and celebrated for a couple seconds, and then realized he had an “owie“.

Here‘s hoping he’s back to full go rapidly!

OK, I didn't know about his calf.

I was rewatching the game yesterday (thank you, YouTube TV) and on that first long run in the 1st quarter, it looked like he was tackled pretty hard into his right thigh so that's what led to my comment above.

Those SU NC boys were so hopped up for that game, even smashing into each other.

Jones is from the 305...Miami

Look at all the bruise doctors on the board!

Yikes, you're right! For some reason I thought he was a NC kid, thanks!

 

[wiseman3]

Tucker certainly had his burst and full speed on his last run though...ran right by 2 NC State guys down the sideline who had pretty good angles at him. I think he's fine

 

[CuseBBall]

Maybe we could get the Giants' trainer up here to help massage his... thigh?

The bye week served Tucker well

Hey may have his burst, idk why but every time he gets tackled he is always very slow to get up like something hurts.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

No injury updates will be forthcoming at today's press conference.

 

[Orangepace]

Lol. We won’t answer any questions that aren’t related to nature.

Why hold press conferences if not going to be transparent?!

Dino didn't open the press conference to say that Williams was out for the season.

Take that as a positive.

Thompson is from NC and we should have had another starter at LB in Lee Kpogba but he couldn't stay in school.

He read the article about Jim brown?

Jim Brown was like that…got up slow after a run, giving hope to the defense that he was hurt.
And then he’d come right back at them full steam ahead…

 

[orangefog]

Tucker takes a lot of cheap shots.

 

[CuseIn282xx]

I'm pretty sure his issue is in his calf based on the tight wrap/sleeve he had on it yesterday.

It's possible the calf wrap had something to do with regulating blood flow in his leg, keeping more blood in his thigh, or otherwise reducing potential edema. It may not have been calf-related.

 

[AAM62]

I think if he does play it will be in rotation with Johnson. We need duce back on the other side and we need for him to not bite on a double move because that has been showing up on film and DJ can definitely exploit that.
