Comprehensive Injury Tracker

Quiero is probably the one that will certainly be out more than this game. I think he broke his forearm.
 
people feel ok about odenigbo?

his foot was dragging, the last time I saw a foot drag like that...I don't even want to go there
 
What's the word on Godwin? You could tell the defense missed him.
 
This is a horrible way to go into the B1G season. The Cats will be undermanned before they even begin.

What makes you think it was his forearm? Seemed like he got hit in the shoulder, and they were stabilizing it on the walk off the field by holding his arm.
 
THey were holding his forearm coming off and that is where he looked to get hit on the play. On TV you could actually see what looked like a break in his forearm.
 
I'm most concerned about safety...if Godwin can't go we will be really short handed. I wonder if they'll give Westphal reps during the week as a backup for Brown.
 
I think Godwin should make it back by next week. I thought we missed his physical presence and sure tackling big time. I do think Westphal is the logical choice for safety depth. I think that is ultimately his best position.
 
I thought IO was also back in. Yeah I'm a bit worried about Safety depth. Do we know the status of McGee?
 
I think he had concussion symptoms.

I'm assuming the same for Mogus as he clearly got his bell rung. Hance needs to step it up...he was a bit shaky at times...pretty much whiffed on that key third down late in the 4th. At least he got some good experience tonight...we're going to need him the rest of the way.
 
I just heard on BTN that Minny had 7 starters go out and not return. We actually have it better than they had it, if you can believe that...
 
Also, sounds like we should be getting DePietro and Frazier back on the OL. Probably not next week, but maybe in 2-3 games. That will help with depth.
 
I am pretty sure I saw Dickerson play later in the game. I know I saw #9 make a play, and Dickerson is the only 9 on the roster as far as I know.

Yeah about to rewatch to confirm , but was surprised to see him since the injury looked fairly bad
 
I think he had concussion symptoms.

His last play out there he had no contact. Then there was a time out, and then he was out when play resumed.

Godwin is a true difference-maker and an All B1G level player. Losing both him and his (very good) back-up Kyle would be catastrophic. I hope whatever it is, Godwin heals up quickly. His physical style of play is critical to the upcoming Minnesota and Iowa games...

I though I saw Garrett Dickerson back for a couple of plays at least, but he was missing later in the game in situations where he clearly would have been playing if he could. Losing Garret would be a huge blow to our TE (2 super back) personell group.

Our OL took a big blow. I heard that Frazier was dressed and participated in pregame warm ups, so hopefully that means he's nearing his return.

I feel great about the win, but this game's injury situation could prove extremely costly to the rest of the season (ala the Wisconsin 2013 game).

.

Could he have been hurt on the very first play of the game? His head got clipped by the QB's knee on the tackle. That is the only contact I could see that could have hurt him on any of the plays before he went out on the second series.....

Dickerson was in a walking boot the second half.

Godwin was standing in full pads, helmet in hand, for the entire first half. He went into the locker room as the defense was taking the field for the last time in the half. I'm assuming they were waiting around to do concussion symptom tests, etc. and then just decided to pull the plug.

Dickerson and Odenigbo were both in after their injuries. Hoping Godwin and Mogus make it back ASAP
 
Garrett D was on crutches on sideline at end of game. Godwin was in street clothes, but actively cheering. Ifaedi was back in at the end

We definitely need at least one of the safeties back (and sounds as if it would have to be Godwin if initial reports are true). Minnesota has issues with their passing game, but Godwin's run support would be a great plus. Minnesota had quite a few guys going out Saturday, so maybe they'll be in the same boat.
 
My best guess is that Dickerson and Quiero are out for next week but that Godwin, Mogus, Ifeadi and the rest are back. We may also get Frazier and Dipietro back for more OL depth next week. If that is the case, I'd be pretty pleased.

Not a doctor, but it seems to me that anybody suspected of having a concussion would not be sent back into a loud stadium with lights blasting in their eyes.

Coming back from concussions can be a tricky process. Hopefully Godwin and Mogus are back next week, but it's not a certainty of course. A generation or two ago, there was no doubt that a guy who got knocked in the head in a game would be back the following week (if not that game). Nowadays, the approach to concussions is much different, and that's a good thing. I hope for their sakes that those guys are OK and are back in practice this week.

Based on what I've seen from some other guys, depending on how close Quiero's injury is to his wrist (vs elbow), he may yet be able cast up and to get back for the latter part of the regular season. I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV.
 
You are right. The fact that Mogus had to be carted off with a concussion indicates a more severe concussion and perhaps his return is more in doubt. Godwin's seemed fairly mild given that he was still in uniform through the first half and was on sideline cheering and actively into the game the second half. I certainly want a speedy recovery for both of them but strictly from a football standpoint, getting Godwin back for next week would be most important in my opinion.

His fracture seemed to be right above the wrist and from what I saw on TV it seemed to be a full, clean break. Not sure if that makes it easier to come back from but I am fairly certain that's the injury he sustained because it was so obvious to see on TV.

To me the question might be if they can practice. I have a little concussion experience. The brain can often take one concussion w.o. serious consequence, it's the second concussion before complete recovery that is extremely dangerous. Since you can't predict a guy getting accidentally hit in the head even by a bullet pass, you have to wait as long as two to three weeks in some cases before entering any risky situations.

I don't see how someone else could support his broken wrist better than he could.
