Ford Out For The Season

[Mean Green 93-98]

According to Troy Phillips

There goes our lockdown corner.

Phillips mentions a couple of other injuries, and an interesting (and encouraging!) factoid.

In those updates, he mentions that Thompson's chances of redshirting this year were burned when he played - implying that that was an option?

This is a problem. I think Ford was going to be a key defensive guy. He'll get a Medical Redshirt though right?

I felt bad for Ford's family at the game.

They were all there from Charleston and happy as could be. Then out out of nowhere, some lady leaned over and said "You guys Steven's parents? He broke his leg, they took him back."

His poor family went into swivel head mode -- looking around for their boy.

He came out on crutches by the 3rd quarter and gave them a nod.

Later reports are that he will instead be out 6 weeks instead of all season.

MGTexan....they originally thought he was gonna be out for the season. But now they think Steven might be back in 6 weeks. (since we have an Open Date in there....maybe he just misses the next 5 games?)

When they say 6 weeks recovery, do they mean back to 100% in 6 weeks, or back to training in 6 weeks?

Neither--back on the playing field in 6 weeks.

Whew! Good news. So we should have him back no later than the WKU game? That's good, because we'll need him against Troy & MT.

Thanks SUMG!
