Not buying the lingard news...

I don’t doubt he’s back this week, but you don’t get banged up in practice in the middle of the week and then don’t or can’t be on the sidelines for the game but you’re good to go for next week?

So the injury was severe enough that protocol dictated he not dress but he’s now good enough to this week?

I thought I read it was a concussion.

I thought I read it was a concussion.

this would absolutely explain it.

 

[5XNC]

Lolol. So the concussion was severe enough he could dress and be in the sideline but he’s already cleared for next week? Okie dokie

...yes which is very common. You see players sit out for a week for concussions all the time. When you have a concussion, it’s a serious protocol and you can’t play til your headache and other symptoms go away. Sounds like he had a minor concussion which explains why he needed a week off.

And nowadays they make them sit a mandatory number of days for concussions. Maybe it wasnt serious but it happened close enough to game day where he had to sit.

So UM, which has gone out of its way to not report injury news when there is uncertainty, now goes out on a limb and confirms that Lingard will be back. Yeah, this really seems like some kind of genius conspiracy theory...

You’ve either never had a concussion before or have had wayyyyy too many.

What transpired was perfectly normal for a player who got a concussion in practice.

 

[ThomasM]

It was Bethune. They knew 100% they would not need him. Why bother, AT ALL? No sense in dressing for a game you know you won't play in. He got a concussion, so why even consider playing him in a game he isn't needed in? Jeez, we have some over reactions here.

 

[CFDan]

what i do know is we should scrutinize the sh*t out of it

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

So what do you think it is since a concussion is so inconceivable?

Yeah , being in “protocol” and desensitizing from light by not being at the game spells that out. He will be fine

Was he on the sideline?

I keep telling folks on here ! That we need to carefully treat and be patient with him. People just wanna see him in action for only selfish reasons. His knee is delicate. We will need him more next year then this year mane'. There is a very few in between Rb's that can be ala' Gore like in this world and be the same after surgeries. Sometimes I wonder have our fans ever played the game at a high level or just know the game at all? #DriveSlowHomie

Yeah I’m not talking about being dressed out ready to play in uniform, I believe he wasn’t even on the sidelines. You guys missed the point. It’s not about him not dressed out in uniform, it’s about him not being at the game.

 

[Dude]

I had a minor concussion from a car accident once. Ringing in ears for a couple of days, balance issues... after probably 3 days I was symptom free and ready to punch *****.

Chronic diarrhea and we were wearing white pants.....duh

 

[Angry Ibis]

Was he on the sideline?

Not that I saw and I was specifically looking for him while taking an accounting of the players in shorts crew.

who said it was severe? It seems with most potential head trauma injuries you take precautions and "just in case" approaches. If further issues develop then you can maybe say "severe" and do more tests. Everything is not a conspiracy.
