Nesta update from Manny Navarro

[Go Canes!!]

Great news. Doesn’t appear season ending:


Hope for Silvera

Sophomore defensive tackle Nesta Silvera is expected to be out at least six weeks following surgery to repair his broken right foot, The Athletic learned Friday.

Silvera, who was expected to compete for a starting job in camp before he got hurt near the end of Miami’s first practice last week, would then need to get back in football shape before the Hurricanes put him on the field.

The hope, a team source said Friday, is Silvera will be able to get back on the field before Miami’s five-game homestand from Sept. 14 through Oct. 19 is over.

RS him. Why not.

 

[Trill]

RS him. Why not.

It’s a long season. By November, he might be our best DT. I think sometimes planning to RS a guy is cool but it’s a long season.

Nesta is more than a depth guy. I thought, before he got hurt, he was going to be th man by the meat of the ACC schedule.

 

[For_The_U]

RS him. Why not.

With the new rule, no need to make that decision yet.

 

[D_G87]

I mean it will also depend how the DT’s are playing. Way too early to make a decision to redshirt him right now..

 

[frostycane]

Or let him play the last 2-3 and the bowl game and still redshirt him? I only say last two is in case we’re playing the ACCCG then it’s two and the ACCCG and the bowl game. But who knows.
Or we hire SMD to monitor his bike progress and maybe she can keep him in great shape and he’ll be back after the first bye week!

 

[TheEye]

The new rule makes red shirting way more likely. Put him in for the max amount of redshirted games then evaluate from there.

 

[DualThreat]

If he’s healthy, and good enough to play, PLAY HIM. This isn’t rocket science.

I don’t like foot injuries to players, especially 300 lb linemen.

 

[Sigma_Cane_7]

With the new rule, no need to make that decision yet.

My comment was vague. I mean let him play the 4 games and RS him if he doesn’t earning meaningful snaps. I don’t think it’s worth it IF he takes to long to get where the coaches need him to be.

Looks like I was dead on with my prediction. Good news.

Get Well Nesta!

How are y’all talking about redshirting him when he’s only likely to miss 2-3 games and will be back by week 3 or so? Don’t forget we have 2 bye weeks within the first 5 games

Agreed! Maybe he gets a few reps at CMU that would be great. Then he is ready to rotate in by Va Tech.

He'd have plenty of time to heal by Vtech. There's no need to rush him into Bethune or Central Mich.

Agreed. Don't rush back.

 

[caneworld]

Probably inserted a pin or two in one of the small bones of the foot. Should heal fine and once removed, he should be able to work his way back in.... just be on full blast for Clemson and the ACCCG. That's all I care.

 

[htownkidd]

Great news.

The best thing might be to rs him..coming off a foot injury he’s not gone be in football shape at all..so that 6 weeks..add a 2 or 3 weeks to that
