I watched the game again and he did not look like he was in much pain and seemed to be moving both arms on the sidelines afterwards but he might have been given a lidocaine injection right away so hard to say..if it was a bad shoulder injury seems like he would have had it wrapped to his body.
It’s definitely a wrist injury, you can see the moment it happens he grabs at his wrist (1st play of the second drive, tackle on Gillman). And he also most likely wouldn’t take the sling off at all if it was a shoulder injury.
I love all the speculation…”The sideline reporter” lol… Let’s go with grandma’s version. I had also heard wrist but ran into Rylan Schlepp later that night at the Club Grill at the Grand Tree. I asked how Cadens wrist was and he said and I quote “ It wasn’t his wrist, he dislocated his shoulder.” Whether or not he plays is unknown.
I had heard wrist from a reliable source and posted it on Twitter. The sideline reporter (Dawn) from ABC either said it wasn’t his wrist or that it was his shoulder during the game.

When someone is hurt there’s always speculation about what it is. It’s just human nature imo. But you have to leave room for whatever you hear to be wrong.

There’s a doctor on YouTube that can tell what an injury is by watching happen on replays.
It's pretty unlikely that it's his wrist. A wrist can be evaluated without taking his shoulder pads off. And Caden probably would've been back on the field if it was a non-broken wrist. It's easy to brace and tape up a wrist.

You were correct Tom, that internet doctor is good. :D


While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

They first evaluated him with his pads on. Timing.

Lamberty @16 minutes

Vigen @ 27 minutes
Is it worth watching? I have listened to them in the past and ‘Coach Jackson’ seems to be more negative on the Cats than most Gris fans.
Overall, I think their show was pretty poorly done as well. Their graphics have wrong numbers or players or pictures of players in wrong uniforms. They have a hard time, pronouncing names, etc. Overall poorly done but interesting when you’re jonesing for football the way I am!

Thanks for pointing this interview out, unexpected bonus hour of coverage!
I see he’s listed on the current depth chart! Fingers crossed


With success comes attention, with attention comes cockiness, with cockiness comes arrogance, with arrogance comes rudeness...and they wonder why I hate the Griz ! FTG

I just listened to it. The graphics and stats were awful. I’m glad they are offering FCS coverage, but don’t just make crap up.
