No. He was an RB in high school and ran track. I went to HS w/Berry for 2 years.

Yes. Berry even wore Ed Reed’s number. Dude was a tank at RB.

4-6 weeks from TODAY puts him between being healthy by A&M (4 weeks from now) and UNC (7 weeks from now) we are lucky to have that bye week after Middle Tenn in week 4 solely for the fact we get our 3 easiest games out of the way and gives players like Don & Zion a chance to get 100% by the time conference play comes around.

Yeah - I remember being very skeptical at the "King is 100% healthy" talk last year. You could see right away in the Bama game he wasn't 100%

I didn't expect Chaney to look 100% this year. Gotta hope this isn't too bad and people that know much better than me will handle this right

Problem is even if the injury is 100% healed physically, the player may still be subconsciously compensating for it and changing how they run, cut, etc. That unnatural movement can cause other injuries. Thats why so many rbs and wrs injure the other leg shortly after returning from an injury to the first leg.

It's very early so we don't know the circumstances around his injury nor the "extensive injuries" to other team members, but this quote implies that it's to his other knee.

I'd just like to throw out there that I had an entire write-up here on the importance of the Strength Coach (Feld) in regards to non-contact knee injuries and how we should keep an eye on the knee injuries here since it was one of the things Oregon was plagued with during his tenure. It is highly correlated with a lack of knee-flexion hamstring development. I'll pull receipts if I have to.

We don't know if it was a non-contact issue but as we get more data in from these injuries, if it appears that more and more of them are related to knee / ACL issues, I'm going to look like a god **** savant and maybe you guys will start listening to me. Everyone loves the before/after pictures but then when half of your RBs are out with ACL tears it's just "bad luck."

What do you do for a living?
 
Sad to hear the news but it’s football, injuries happen and we got to have the next man up mentality, we still have three RBs who are very capable or carrying the load and people who are saying practice is too physical will be the same people mad when the defense missing tackles or mad cause the o line is soft.

All jokes aside it would be foolish to not use him in wildcat / zone read stuff in short yardage / red zone. Then steal some big plays when defenses sell out expecting the same play. I’d find a few looks a game for him.

You think they’ll use him kinda like how Tebow was used his first year?
