Injury thread

Difference is those players that sat out were 1st and 2nd rounders. Don't see many Day 3 guys saying "naw I'm gud".
I could have sworn I saw some day 1 projections on Zion. I maybe wrong, but I agree.

For all those calling anyone a "slurper"—there needs to a word for the mental-midget that started screaming "back" and "15-0!" the minute Mario was hired, yet was screaming "Fire Gattis" and trashing the new staff by the Southern Miss game.

Bipolar disorder? Dissociative identity disorder?
 
I'm not sure that's right.

Chaney just isn't a good data point. I'm not going to drag the kid, but the fact is he was injured under the prior staff with the country club practices, and he is injured under the new staff with more physical practices. Unfortunately, he may just be one of those guys who struggles with injuries.

Citizen was definitely injured during practice.

Restrepo's injury was a foot injury from HS that he said just never healed right or something like that. Timing-wise I don't know whether any re-aggravation was in practice or in one of the 2 games he played this season, but it seems like a pre-existing injury.

Not exactly sure when/how Arroyo was injured. He played against MTSU but missed UNC and was declared out for the season after the UNC game (though that was a poorly kept secret and the news had been swirling before the game). I thought Mario had said Arroyo was banged up during the MTSU game, but who knows.

Nelson is a strange one. He had surgery sometime this summer (in July maybe) to "clean up" his knee before even participating in Fall camp. But our final spring practice was sometime in April, and fall camp didn't open until August. He came back and played some against TAMU, looked bad, and I don't think he's gotten a snap since. I don't know what to make of that situation one way or another.

And I think all the other guys listed were hurt in games and/or have some injury history.

Honestly, seems like a combination of bad luck and guys who may just be a bit injury-prone.
Nelson shouldn’t be part of that research data

Pretty sure Clemson had a ton of players out last year as well.

Exactly ppl act like injuries are new or something.

70% of the injuries happened in the game so not sure how they can blame S&C in that. A broken hand, multiple rolled up offensive lineman. TS has been banged up for over a year. Zion got hurt last year. Parrish happened in a game.
