Cautious optimism. He's in a boot right now so we know it's not a knee and he can put pressure on it so I think that takes out a fracture. Best case scenario is high ankle sprain, which will still be tough to come back from this year.
Just get him back for Ole Miss. we can beat Arkansas without him, need to be healthy and play our best game of the year against OM
Fibula is a non weight bearing bone IF that is fractured so to be technical because I can't help myself- it is possible that he could bear weight depending on what is fractured and where it is.Quote:

We need Reese back too.Quote:

So by Texas game or by Arkansas game?Quote:

Main thing is he’s healthy for next year when things really take off. (Which is what Ole Miss is scared shitless of)
Not that I am happy anyone gets hurt. But it will be nice to see the other younger backs get some work.
Every OM fan I know is TERRIFIED of us having an offense of Taylor, Fluff, Thompson, Evans, and Williams. We will definitely have to work to keep Fluff and Evans in the portal.Quote:

If they grandfather players who played as true freshmen and award everyone a fifth year our team in 2027 could be absolutely loaded.Quote:

Weird because I want Fluff back in two weeks which I know won't happen. Gayton could really change the pass rush too with a draw play to a speed back - think about that a minute. Lebby needs to make it happen.Quote:

Reece and Isaac will practice next week.
Great news.
Fluff isn't day to day. That's coach speak.Quote:

What about the other tackle that hasn?t been playing?
Also, why is Jimothy not ready?
I know Steen is done for the year but I don't know what's going on with Jimothy Lewis.
Wasn't Jimothy the tackle who graded out 0 for 17 on pass blocking?
He's got the athletic talent. I hope he comes around.
