Restrepo does a blog for Canesport and today he talked about his injury and the team.....
-The injury itself, I had a reoccurring stress foot fracture injury from high school. I guess it fractured in high school or whatever, I played on it. And then one day in practice it just broke. It officially broke the week of Texas A&M, that Wednesday. I’ve known that it was bothering me. Football. If I’m going to get hurt, I’m going to get hurt playing football. I knew something was wrong with it, but at the end of the day I was running a route, it just popped.
- They had me on a practice regiment, and Wednesday was my practice day so I was just going around, woke up that morning knowing I could play football that day. I was stoked about that and unfortunately I just had the injury. And it wasn’t bothering me the game before, it was all of a sudden `bam.’
Now I’m putting in four hours of rehab each and every day, trying my hardest. It’s not too much pain – the training room staff are all doing an amazing job with me and keeping as much stress as I can off of it and allowing it to feel a lot better. It’s just feeling amazing right now. Like at the game, I was like `Man, take me out of this boot and dress me up, I’m ready to play.’
- I’m healing good. I just got my stitches removed. I’m looking good, am just working every day and God will tell me when it’s time. The doctor says I’m looking awesome, that I’m healing really well and I should be back soon.
As for the team, Restrepo goes on to say that the team had a great practice on Tuesday. People played "motivated" in his words. He said that Tyler had a really good practice, looking like his old self. He says the players have daily meetings where they reinforce each other and give each other confidence.
