Demetrius Jackson knee injury

[smack99]

Absolutely sucks for the kid. Good player and likely starter next year. Freshman going to have to step up.

 

[drewm3i]

Wow that sucks we need all the depth possible for this weekend.

 

[L A M P]

That sucks for the young man and for our D. He's huge against the run (also does well at batting down balls). Thankfully that is one position where we can afford something like this. Get well soon DJax.

Tough break.

**** that sucks. Garvin time to shine. Maybe DJ gets a little burn now too.

DJ is redshirting

Stop making up lies. Unless he sustained a season ending injury, he's not redshirting.

 

[smack99]

This may be an opportunity for Patchan too unless they still want him to learn the TE position.

He’ll probably switch back after spring next year. Depth for TE during the spring will be worrisome thin. Sucks because i wanted to see Patchan at DE. His get-off was insane in that F$U game last year.

No, he is not. He has logged snaps this year already and I've heard that he is already being prepped to see the field this week.

 

[MiamiVice7]

****. Still on the VT high, came to the board to revel in it and look forward to ND.

**** news. Next man up, but this sucks no doubt.

Exactly and with Jackson’s injury, DJ’s role just increased.

Good news.
Maybe he can go on the inside too in obvious passing downs.

 

[The Midnight Rambler]

DJ was being redshirted until he wasn’t.

 

[Dan Sileo JR]

One of my favorite players on our team. Gritty with a heart of gold.

Anyone more knowledgeable than me know if he plays SDE or WDE? If he's on the left side, Garvin will have to step up, if on the right, DJJ

 

[Fly1]

****...dude is a player.

Prayers sent.

Keep your head up D JAX!!

 

[JayCane20]

Anyone know the extent of the injury?

Based on the time period Pete referenced sounds like meniscus

 

[dg151]

Hurts to lose him as a run defender before ND.

Also forces McIntosh to play another 5-10 snaps a game in the pass down defense.

 

[5XNC]

Love how the kid has played. Feel sorry for him. But we don’t “need” anyone to step up. We rotate Thomas, j Jackson, Harris, etc so guys will have to play a little bit more, which I’m sure they don't mind doing. And stop with the “we need everyone healthy to beat Nd” talk. We’re fine, especially at d end.

RS DJ and let Patchan get some burn...

 

[407cane]

come on down DJ Johnson!

 

[407cane]

RS DJ and let Patchan get some burn...

DJ has already played if i am not mistaken, don't think he would be eligible for redshirt

 

[mianjomar]

Patchen back to DE?

 

[brock]

It’s a big loss but due to our depth we will be able to absorb it with how much our backups play. He was one of the best 3 performing dlineman this year imo
