Injury Report

[grover]

Just take care of business vs Temple and GT, and have everyone healthy going into the meat of our schedule. That back 7 is no joke. We want everyone available and our young pups coached up to contribute.

Cristobal on if he expects to get defensive linemen that were held out of action against Bethune-Cookman, Akheem Mesidor, Branson Deen, and Nyjalik Kelly, back soon: “We do.”

Extremely encouraging on that front, was worried this would be a longer term thing with them

That is HUGE good news to hear. All 3 essential.

When I heard that this morning I was a little surprised by that answer and very happy to hear it. Get these guys healthy and ready for the UNC game.

I'd figure Fletcher is good to go this week. If Kam, Kelly, Deen, and Mesidor don't play then they will be ready for Ga Tech. Remember we have a bye next week.

lol I am all for it but I think he previously said Zion should be back "soon" as well. For the record IDC, we arent required to report injuries for the media (yet) so why TF should we?

Soon is simply subjective and it could be Kelly is soon as in this week and the rest are soon as in a few weeks. Just wait to see who is on the field or in practice, everything else is coach being coach.

Christmas is also coming soon...I see it in the stores, right next to the aisle where they sell Halloween candy.

Now what he thinks is “soon” is what I’m curios about. If we can get:

- Mesidor
- Kelly
- Deen
- Fletcher
- arroyo

All back by at least GT (Temple would be ideal from a Reps/Continuity standpoint) then we are looking VERY good.

We still haven’t seen our offense when we have a TE that can catch/block. Having McCormick, Williams, Skinner & Arroyo all able to provide valuable reps Blocking/catching will make it almost impossible for defenses to stop us when they have an O-Line who’s one of the best in the nation, a staple of RBs who could all be starters at any given time and then a greatly improved WR core on top of a all of a sudden deep TE room? Boy oh boy…

Coach Hayes at the 1 hour and 2 minute mark (1:02:30) said that he heard Branson Deen is done for the season. I hope he is mistaken.

Would be news to Mario, based on his comments the other day that all were close to returning.

@Cribby said Deen would be out a little longer as of last week.

I'd assume Deen and Mesidor are the last two to come back. Something tells me they'll be out this week, get that extra week of rest and Mesidor will be back for Ga Tech. Idk about Deen.

The early schedule and bye definitely are working to our advantage this year with the early injuries. Don't have to rush anyone back. If we can keep some of these guys out til after the bye or even GT, would be a full month's rest. Of course it might be ideal to let them get some snaps vs GT to not come in cold on the road vs UNC.

Whoever is ready to play will play. Can't just sit guys to get them rest especially once ACC play starts.

I'm just passing on public info.

Yes, but considering the rain forecast for Saturday, I would 100% be more cautious and keep those guys off the field if possible.

hold them all out till G Tech. no reason to rush them back if theyre not fully healthy.

Last updste I heard I posted , Deen and Mesidor would be games. That was a couple days after A&M. Deen did have a procedure on his knee during spring so I’m not sure if that’s the same issue or a different one. Him and Mesidor was the only guys with an uncertain timeline.
