Injuries (heading to Frisco )

[SparkCat]

Not sure if anyone else caught it but the ESPN announcers said that Davis suffered an MCL injury against the Gris. Anyone know the timeline for return for that? From my limited knowledge, it's usually about 6 weeks, depending on severity, which could mean he'd be back right around the championship??

Also, they said that Ryan Lonergan got hurt and limped off the field but I'm pretty sure he went back in after that and caught a pass. Can anyone confirm it was Ryan? they didn't actually show who it was on the broadcast

I kinda feel like they pulled that injury out their butt. However, MCL injuries, depending on the severity, can be more of a pain tolerance type of injury.

Watching Rohan on the sidelines is hilarious, but I sure would like to see him on the field in the semifinals.

Yeah. Boot in the 1st half and running around in it. Then no boot in the 2nd and dancing.

Polidore didn't partake in the post game handshakes and limped to the locker room.

Why Polidore was still in there was beyond me. They had largely subbed the starters and then I noticed Polidore at the start of that drive. Turned to my seat mate and questioned why he was in there...to set up the back end correctly with Ortt sitting? Then he gets hurt on the pass to the end zone. Hobbles off. Seemed like he wanted to test it on the sideline...realized he couldn't...and that is when I was concerned...he really wanted to try it out and see if he could still "go" and he couldn't...

I suppose no point fretting about it, and I'm sure USD has guys banged up too, but if Polidore is not available that is about as big a blow as our defense can have. I would assume he was still in there because we don't really have a back up for him. We're awful thin at safety.

How about Zach Black? He was hurt near end of game.

Taki backs up Polidore and he was in the game with Pottenger.

Yeah crap. Forgot about that, injury looked a little more serious.

I find it interesting that on all the broadcasts of the FCS games they highlight all the injuries of all the teams except the Bobcats. Even against Idaho, they mentioned Rohan Jones and Scottre Humphrey being out for the game but few others.

Does anyone know the difference between the NFL and the NCAA when it comes to reporting injuries? I feel like you get pretty detailed explanations and recovery timelines for NFL players but a ton of secrecy with the NCAA. I used to chalk it up to the NFL being professional and college being "amateurs" but since that's no longer a thing and NCAA being basically lower level professional football, how does that play out? I would also expect for it to be pushed for a lot harder that college teams need to be more transparent since gambling has been legalized for people to have full information on what they're betting on.

I'm not arguing that we need to get more into the personal lives of players. They deserve privacy. My main question comes down to why is there such a large disparity in reporting NFL player injuries and college player injuries?

It's pretty simple really, the NFL has rules requiring teams to release injury reports but the NCAA, although there have been discussions about implementing such a rule, does not. Teams are likely going to keep specific injury information close to the vest so as not to give their opponents any more information than they need to.

Oh ok, so it doesn't revolve around HIPAA or privacy laws or being professional and amateur levels at all to your knowledge? Thanks for responding!

It's not professional vs amateur. The NFL rules were largely (entirely?) created for the gambling market. The NCAA is behind because betting on college sports is much less developed compared to the NFL. I would think the reporting rules would become more formalized soon but the NCAA is a shell of it's former self so that may not happen.

Doesn't matter, they all suit up - just make them "PLAN" for the player.

Yep - I like the fact that he is not being direct with the injury situation. Make USD gameplan for Jones & Coon, and then hit them with Scottre!!

[AFCAT]

[BleedingBLue]

Scottre looks pretty good to me in that video.

[BornBobcat2000]

Scottre looks pretty good to me in that video.

My thoughts exactly, love to see it. I rewatched it multiple times looking for Polidore lol

[catatac]

And can someone remind me of where we're at with the TE group? Not Rohan, I have a feeling he'll play but we'll see on that. But for all the other guys, who was hurt and who might still be?

[EastslopeCat]

Provience was out. No idea on his status. Lonergan went off the field but came back and is still on the two deep so probably ok.

Thank you. So Lonergan and Schlepp are the dudes if Jones can't go. Looking as the roster the other TEs are Rocky Lencioni, Luke Smith, and Luvens Valcin. Who's leading the pack of that group in terms of game reps so far? Just curious.
