Your Thursday Morning "DON"T JUMP!!" Injury Thread

so Robbie now has the training room orders on how they'll treat Malcom's hand before the training room does?

that's impressive. Kudos to him.

Do you have any more info on the cheeseburger? Was it medium well/well done and were the onion rings crispy?

Whoa now....what did the person order to drink? #CrucialInfo

Good news on Bear and Johnson, but any injury to Dak means this season is going to be 7 wins at best. If he isn't starting against UAB we are boned for sure.

How exactly are we "boned" if we can probably win easily without him? Theres 16 days until we play an SEC team....

The trend of Dak getting hurt is becoming real and ridiculous.

Turf toe during spring of 2013

Stinger that wouldn't heal last year

Now, a phantom injury that no one knows how or when it happened.

Mullen did make an interesting comment in his press conference the other day when he said, "sometimes, sliding is more dangerous than taking a hit."

I didn't think about it much at the time, but, in light of this news, I'm curious if Dak rolled his ankle while sliding.

We all love Dak, but your greatest ability is your availibility.

Damian will look like a different person if we actually hand him the keys to the Ferrari this year vs the ultra-conservative stuff we put him in last year and always do in mop-up duty.

I'm not saying that's what is going to happen at all nor that Dak is hurt(last I heard he was planning to play on Saturday) -- just that IMO Damian is alot more "ready" than people are giving him credit for.

If it's serious enough to where he can't play at all it may be serious enough to bother him throughout the year. We aren't beating any good team without a healthy Dak.

I wondered the same thing. He slid awkwardly....probably because he never slides and was told to slide.

Soooo, if he doesn't play against UAB that means its "serious?" He didn't play until the 4th quarter against Ole Miss, even though he obviously could've played earlier.... Football players play with injuries all the time, and sometimes only play with them when needed...

There's a big difference between "can't play at all" and "held out for an extra 7 days to get back to 100% for the meat of the schedule".

Everything I've heard is that Dak CAN play on Saturday. It's Dan's decision. It's something small and nagging that they have to weigh out the decision until Saturday...

If Mullen comes out and says he's 100% but we just don't want to risk it I will feel ok about it.

But yeah if he says he's hurt and he can't play this game, I will think we are pretty screwed.

Exactly

Mullen doesn't discuss injuries like that...

If he's 100% why in the Hell wouldn't DAK play?

I didn't want to include this info because it would really be cause for concern. He ordered pink lemonade. To the other question the burger was well done but the onion rings were soggy. He also ordered extra pickles and no mayo.

Yeah, I know...it would just make me feel a hell of a lot better if Dak even played just the first series of the game then pulled him for Damian. As illogical as that is, I guess I just don't fully trust coaches when they are talking about injuries.

he's apparently been practicing or else everyone and their momma would know. I don't think his issue is serious at all... or at least I hope not.

I'm more concerned about MoJo and Bear possibly being banged up.

If the Bear injury is serious that is about the most MSU injury of all time.

Horse hockey. If he's 100% you don't hold out your starting star QB on what might happen. What kind of message does that send the rest of the team? You're expendable but he isn't? Like to think Dak would call bs on that move.
