DJ Dale and Trey Sanders (Sanders Reportedly Out for Season)

[WylieTexasTider]

Anyone know what type of knee injury DJ Dale has suffered? Saw mention on several sites likely out 2-3 weeks. If 3 weeks, could jeopardize being ready for Duke. (Not that he’s needed, our 3rd string could beat them.)

Also noticed Trey missed practice, AL.COM article said Saban should address his situation tomorrow. Hope this is not a compliance/discipline issue. Not assuming that to be the case as I have heard he is a great, hard working kid.

Sounds injury related, we will find out tomorrow.

He was not seen at practice today.

If Sanders is injured, I sure hope it doesn't impact his development and possible playing time. Sounds like he was on track to contributing.

With DJ, and maybe Sanders too, if any qualms at all, sit them both through the first two. JMO, of course. If we can`t win those down those two new players, we`ve got far greater issues than just them and their injuries. I`m sure they both need the work, but we`ll need them more starting with USCe.

Murmurs that’s Sanders has a serious foot injury. That’s the scuttlebutt. Hope it’s wrong.

On the last play...

For crying out loud we can’t catch a break with injuries.

Broken foot on Sanders. Looking like the season could be lost.

Re: DJ Dale and Trey Sanders

Terrible loss but one we will be ok with. I think I’m more concerned about DJ Dale.

Hate it for these young men. Life lesson, for sure. Hoping for a complete recovery!

Re: DJ Dale and Trey Sanders

Hate it for Sanders. Dale is definitely the bigger deal though. We have depth at RB

Argh....I know I usually look at college football through a Bama lens, but it sure seems like we've had worse injury luck than any other major contender the last few years. It's always the biggest worry in my mind every season. When's the last time we made it to a playoff without major contributors out or slowed by injury?

I am worried about injuries this year also, especially because I think BAMA can win #18 this year if the team is healthy, especially Tua. Injuries may change that, especially to the starters. Next year's schedule will be tough, especially if we have lots of players leave early.

Does anyone know what Trey was doing when he broke his foot? Was he doing a drill or did someone step on it? I wish him the best in his recovery. I know he is devastated.

Saban or the Athletic Trainer or Scott Cochran really need to look into all these foot/ankle injuries the team has had the past few years. I assume they have since they are top notch at what they do, but I also assumed the players/coaches would be prepared for the Clemson game last year. It just seems BAMA has more injuries than other teams do. (especially the past 3 years).

Geez! It seems like every time I get excited about a player, something like this happens. Didn't we have another player with a foot injury that came back in six weeks? Hmmm, upon further thought I have never heard of a foot injury that would sideline a player from early camp and throughout the whole season. Maybe this is still speculation?

If somebody stepped on it, it must have been one of the dudes in your avatar... :biggrin2:

Don't they fix foot breaks with screws these days...?

Re: DJ Dale and Trey Sanders

My concern is this may go beyond a “normal foot fracture”. When they are saying “significant foot injury” and “season ending” it makes me believe this isn’t a simple fracture you can put a pin in or “fixate” with screws and expect healing in 6-8 weeks.


I’m not even going to say what I fear it could be. I hoping I’m wrong.
