Not the best news. One of Hill, Young, Washington, Riley, and Dear will have to step up now

Hate to hear this. A recent pic someone posted of JMiller looked as it he had some bad intentions for this year.

Of course, hope this injury report is wrong.

I guess we'll know more about Daniel Hill's abilities sooner rather than later!

Disappointing news. Miller has patiently waited his turn, when other RB’s have transferred out. I appreciate his perseverance.

By all accounts, he has put in the time and effort to get to the front of the line. He has gotten rave reviews from coaches and players. Seems to have a good work ethic and understanding of what it takes to be a complete running back in this offense.

Wish him a speedy recovery. Hope he gets back up to speed sooner than later.

Is this real? I haven’t seen anyone I trust in the Alabama media coverage report it.

 

[Padreruf]

We/I know nothing about the nature of the injury. I am amazed in today's football world that in practice anyone was hit hard enough to be hurt. Hope he recovers sooner rather than later.

That was my first thought: I didn't see that posted anywhere last night. Seems it would be significant news, if true.

Not good news get well soon. He may find it tough to get back once RY and DH start pounding opposing defenses. I have a good feeling about Young. Hope Jam gets his chance.

6-8 weeks for a dislocated shoulder!?!? My goodness, Hollywood has been lying to me my entire life.

That's a big blow. Hopefully pass pro is fully ready by week 5 for UGA.

That's a big blow. Hopefully pass pro is fully ready by week 5 for UGA.

I would imagine that that will be an area of concentration even more so now for all the RBs.

 

[Tideflyer]

I suppose getting out of preseason contact with only one regular season lost time injury would be considered good.

Peter Burns also reporting on ESPN Radio this morning.
Had surgery last night.
That's a shame
Next man up, RTR!

 

[RammerJammer15]

That's a big blow. Hopefully pass pro is fully ready by week 5 for UGA.

which makes me believe Dre Washington could be in for more playing time as he has the most experience in the RB room

 

[bamadwain]

This is a big blow! The next man up mentally doesn't work, you have to have experience, so Washington and Young have more experience than Hill, Riley and Dear, so hopefully one of these three can garner some and be brought along slowly

6-8 weeks for a dislocated shoulder!?!? My goodness, Hollywood has been lying to me my entire life.

It’s a dislocated collar bone

Hopefully back by Georgia... But you always have to wonder how effective he'll be with time off and a lack of reps.

Ugh!

Still, we have two experienced guys in Young and Washington, and an intriguing bulldozer in Hill.

I wouldn't think Riley will do as much given how undersized he is, probably not an every down guy, and Dear needs a solid year of work to enter the conversation. Although, Dear has been looking sharp and has some serious potential.

Makes the decision to take Washington look pretty good now.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Hate to see this. The precedure did go well. Not clear on his return. Hopefully he's a go for Georgia. Young, Hill, and Washington have received the bulk of backup reps in camp. I believe they will do a great job.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

He looked massive in a picture the other day so he’s for sure worked hard this off season.

Really unfortunate for this to happen and I hope he heals up soon.

It’s usually a 6-8 week recovery so that would put him potentially coming back in Oct around the Vandy-Mizz-Tenn slate of games.

The young guys are about to get some valuable experience early and that will payoff bigtime in the long run.

On paper the UGA game is the only really big matchup the 1st 4-6 weeks so I think we’ll be able to navigate this.

Get well Jam

This sucks big time, but come on, we got dudes. If the OL can play big boy football like they have during the spring and summer, then we should be fine.

Get well Jam
