My understanding is that a player can apply for a medical redshirt and qualify if he misses an entire season, or the rest of a season after injury if it happens before a semester/quarter starts?
Consider CT. Now, it seems to me that perhaps the most reasonable timetable for a ACL is 10 months. I mean coming back at 8 months isn't common but certainly there is nothing 100% healed by then. So, it's prolly reasonable to assume CT will miss September and some of October if he comes back without any dealy in healing. Also consider that CT hasn't even had the surgery yet and most likely won't for 2 weeks. Sounds odd to me although I admit I'm ignorant.
So, is it possible (Although nobody will ever tell) that the delayed surgery pushes back CT to around December? And pushes him into a redshirt?
