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.

Yeah it’s good, mostly because Vigen is so generous with his time. He gives long meaningful answers.

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.

Thanks for pointing this interview out, unexpected bonus hour of coverage!

You were correct Tom, that internet doctor is good.

Welcome to fan message boards, Frank! Must be your first day.

They first evaluated him with his pads on. Timing.

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!

I see he’s listed on the current depth chart! Fingers crossed

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.

I'm no Dr., but Caden looked plenty healthy getting off the plane today. Most definitely not a shoulder injury. I'll put money on him being on the field with the rest of the starters Monday night.

I dislocated my shoulder a lot. I thought that’s exactly what he did. I could easily be wrong. But if that’s what happened, he would look just fine. However, that should could still be very tenuous.

Per Herder with media day, Caden has supposedly been getting plenty of practice in and is anticipated he will be playing.

[blueandgoldblitz]

I can't say for sure because gamesmanship is a definite thing, especially for a game like this, but Caden says he's feeling great and he's good to go and there's no chance he would miss another one of these games

This video is clearly AI. I think the Red Birds need to prepare as though he won’t be playing.

Unless Vigen spaced it out, Ahrens is playing too. He’s in uniform for the team photo. Vigen said JJ Dolan is the only one not playing that got considerable playing time this year.
