KR thumb looked like an eggplant. It’s gotta be broken. Let’s go Tayven!!!
It’s broken…
- Thread starter dtiffany
- Start date
Didn’t look that bad when he walked off and I’m sure they wrapped the heck out it.
Don't get ahead of yourself. Someone said KR game a thumbs up to someone in the crowd during the 4th quarter.
Cig said we would know more tomorrow but he isn’t worried about.
I saw that. He smiled and gave thumbs up to someone in the stands. Have been hearing a split nail. CCC interview at end of game seemed to say they didn't feel it was bad, will know more tomorrow.
I agree with that other dude especially with what cig said at the end of the game
It’s broken. Your finger doesn’t turn purple and swell up like a 7 day old pig from a split nail. But I got faith in 2
I didn’t see that. Anyone else see that? How did you?
There’s a shot from the game. It was quick but clearly purple and swollen. Just saying a ripped nail won’t do that. If you recorded the game go back and watch. It’s a quick tv shot as he’s walking close to the bench from off the field. He’s still in uniform. I think it may be right after half when they are showing a replay of what happened
I heard he is having surgery today and will miss a few weeks at least. Next man up!
I will be surprised if this isn’t a 4 week deal…if they are inserting a pin
Yeah, the earliest I see him back is OSU. If it is surgery, like everyone is saying.
After the game when the network lady asked Cig about Rourke’s injury he said “we’ll know more tomorrow…we’re not sur…we don’t really know.” And I thought he probably doesn’t say “we’re not surgeons” if it’s not a fracture!
I’m betting 2 weeks. I’ve lost fingernails before. Ripped off from working as a mechanic over the years it happens. Once the bed heals it won’t be sensitive. Takes about 2 weeks. It’s extremely sensitive in that time though. So imho he’s back by OSU or Purdue.
CCC won’t take time to fret or worry … not his style … Jackson will be coached up on the UDub game plan that will be tailored to his talents. That sick TD pass to Sarrat is enough to show future opponents Jackson has the talent to beat them, such that they won’t dare stack the box the whole game long. This year’s OL is good enough to rush and keep Jackson upright.
I'm certainly no Bones but I'm in the same camp as Victorb. But I'd say if there is little or no swelling a tad bit of topical anesthetic where the nail is missing will be applied. Not enough to numb the finger. Also a cushioned bandage could cover it but again not enough to affect the grip of the ball. This is all my personal speculation and only mentioned if KR wants to play. Maybe not, maybe so.
Could Rourke try throwing with a glove? Klatt mentioned it on the broadcast. I remember Teddy Bridgewater use to throw with a glove. It would help with the grip.
Just the nail. He will be back very soon. Moved up to questionable for Saturday. Depending how well Jackson does this week I assume.
Hard to predict timeline when we do not yet know the injury or which surgical procedure was done.
Hand specialists can be ortho or even plastic surgeons.
Any hand surgeons out there? Give us some educated guessing?
Hairline fracture. Follow up X-Rays didn't reveal as significant damage as the initial X-Rays taken at half time. Will not play against Washington was told he is still highly doubtful for Michigan State but Michigan should be a true game time decision.
My sources tell me they had to take the thumb but put a bionic one on and should be even better. Just a couple of weeks for the circuits to integrate.
Define surgery. Would removal of the nail be surgery? I don't really know what they mean?
It absolutely would be surgery, and the timeline makes sense.
