Anyone know how long he?ll be out? Got about 9 months till the 2018 season begins.
Surgery this morning went well. Out 6-8 weeks before beginning rehab. His Dad says he will be back for spring practice.Quote:

Guess you mean weeks.
I predict he will be out until next season. ;) I've read he may be ok for light duty in the Spring.
From what I?ve heard he will make a complete recovery. Treadwell had a worse injury than this and it didn?t affect his mobility at all. Nick does he rehab right he will be 100% what he was by next fall.
Yeah - fixed thatQuote:

Yeah - he was actually pretty lucky. It wasn?t like it was a Robert Edwards type injury that crushed bone. Clean break and dislocation - with strong rehab - and he can definitely comeback full speed.Quote:

As much of a competitor that Nick is I have no doubt he?s gonna work his butt off and be a man on a misesion come next fall. Love Nick and praying for a complete recovery!Quote:

Serious question - Are you a doctor, or more specifically, Nick's doctor? Just want to know the context behind such a definitive statement.Quote:

He wasn't gonna run near as much next year anyway. It's Mullen's MO. You could see over the past few games that he was getting much more accurate. Mullen is bringing him along just like Dak.Quote:

In a lot of cases they have a quick injection pain killer like morphine similar to what?s used in combat. Not sure what we use but I know some programs that?s what is used.Quote:

We should start spring ball as late as possible.Quote:

Thanks for sharing that. Good stuff.Quote:

Super Bulldog Weekend is Ole Miss weekend in baseball I believe. I think it's early in March?Quote:

He may say that Fitz COULD lose a step depending on a myriad of factors or he may not.Quote:
