Any word on Leach injury?

[mesacat]

Collins say anything at press conference?

TBD

He walked back to the bench under his own power so I am going to be optomistic. Amazing how this team held on to win without him in there.

Yes. Was going to say. He went to the locker room for 5 minutes of real time but came back out with his jersey on, no brace, etc. IIRC, when Ty got hurt against Nebraska last year he changed into sweats and was clearly limping. Didn’t see that from Leach fwiw.

I would presume he will get an MRI tomorrow, hopefully no major issues but I’m concerned.

I’m incredibly concerned and will be lighting several candles tonight in hopes it was just a knee twist or at worst some kind of sprain that causes him to miss little time.

Just from watching it live and seeing his reaction, put me in the concerned camp as well.

Leach injury—> will prob hear nothing until a couple hours before the next game, that seems like how NU does it?

 

[macarthur31]

Watched Collins presser - and he opened with "I promise I won't cry...tonight...but maybe tomorrow." I am definitely Mr. "Can read too much into things," and I intuited a sense of dread he had about Jalen's knee.

 

[Cataria]

I thought he might have bumped it really hard. A USC player was out with a bone bruise. Maybe that is the best we can hope for. To add insult to injury, he was called for a travel because he fell down when an opponent landed on him.

 

[BosCat]

If Leach could just have gotten himself kicked out of the game early he could have avoided the injury.....

 

[MC_Cat]

The fact he came back to the bench and was walking around without crutches is encouraging. I'm optimistic on this one.

 

[Hungry Jack]

The way it buckled with the plant, I thought he had blown his ACL. Generally encouraging that he walked off (ginergly) on his own, but a lot of guys walk off the field after tearing an ACL. Also a good sign that he stayed on the bench.

Still, an ACL tear would not shock me.

I am sure it was an injury of the upper part of the lower body

Louie Vaccher reporting Leach getting an MRI today. Not surprising.

That was my first reaction too with how his leg was planted and his knee being pushed inward.

Hard to believe that there wouldn’t be some kind of meniscus injury or at least mild ligament type injury given how he tentative he was after the injury. Maybe he was just being super cautious after the injury. Let’s hope for good news.

 

[Baz=Heisman]

The silence here is killing me…

 

[Davidgolds5]

Do they ever announce these things? Feel like with the cats you just find out before the game if the guy is playing or not….

I would expect that we will hear nothing via official channels until about 9:20pm Saturday night.

Waiting for nubbguru

 

[Davidgolds5]

So curious who the guru is and how he gets his info…..

 

[ParisCat]

Guru just posted a sad face on X. Not good…

Yeah, I just accept that that dude knows things.

 

[Southport Cat]

I am heartened by all his posts about a Brooks waiver.

 

[Davidgolds5]

A Brooks waiver, I would love for the Guru to be accurate.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Are we sure that isn't a Turk burner account?

In my knee experiences (two surgeries) during athletic event if you sustain an injury the normal procedure is to wrap and ice it to control swelling. Although it did not look good when it happened, Jalen was walking OK and nothing was done in the locker room to mitigate the potential swelling. I am going to be optimistic at this point. Any Drs. out there disagree with my thinking?
