John Metchie Injury Updates

[PA Tide Fan]

We found a way to still win last year when Jaylen Waddle went down so hopefully the coaching staff can come up with a plan. At least they have few weeks to figure something out.

 

[Tideflyer]

No question that`s a blow. Who has to step up now? At least there`s some time for work. Lord, the injuries.

 

[bvandegraff]

some of the younger WR's have been chirping about opportunity....well...here's your chance to put up or shut up....next man up. Hate it for Metchie but we should have the depth to cover

Yep, opportunity knocks. Get off Twitter and seize the moment.

Eli reporting Saban just said BRob will benefit from off time, Metchie out for season. No word on Trey Sanders.

Hate it for Metchie. I think Trey Sanders just got his bell rung. When they showed a brief replay he got hit right in the head. I didn't see it enough to say it was targeting, but it could have been.

It really looked like Targeting but we may have knocked their guy into Trey. Couldn't see for sure. I worry that Trey should never have been out there. Don't know what his Auto injuries were.

Will JoJo Earle be back for the Playoffs?

Will JoJo Earle be back for the Playoffs?

I was thinking about him. He probably would be. Saban said "Sometime shortly".

 

[Saban4Ever]

Saban said others will be out with injuries. Anyone know who else? Someone said Dallas Turner may be injured? I hope Trey will be okay. Losing Metchie is a big blow. There has been too many injuries in games this year.

 

[Dudeman]

ESPN 2 ticker just said Bama officials believe metchie has a torn ACL.

I saw #6 in for Jobe toward the end on defense.

Coach Saban said he would be back, not for this game but for the playoffs.

Absolutely how was that not targeting? The refs did not call them for much.

I heard a 70 something year old lady screaming that was helmet to helmet contact, leading with the crown, targeting.

Also should have called a late hit on the UGA player who hit the Bama player out of bounds............

time for someone to step up.............Billingsley, here's your change

That could have been performance related.

Were you watching the game with my Mom?

 

[DogPatch]

With the way he was walking there is no way it was an ACL injury. Meniscus maybe but no ACL.

You can walk fine with a torn ACL. Just can't change directions or accelerate.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

He was squatting like in a baseball catcher’s stance by himself on the sidelines right before the td run by young in the second half. Also, he did not have any sleeves, devices, or crutches with him and none of the orthopedic surgeons, trainers, staff were with him he was alone which is a good sign.

I saw that. Rumors say ACL, I say bull. I've had a blown ACL, you ain't going to be walking around and squatting, while watching a game for sure.
I wasn't gonna mention seeing him on the sideline squatting down, but since you brought it up...
It could be a tear in the Meniscus, not bad at all, then... when a flap of that turns under it gives a real sharp pain. BTDT too.

BTW: My Medical experience is only on things that happened to me.
I'm sure the Medical people know more than I do, but then again I have stayed at a Holiday Inn.

 

[TideEngineer08]

We've had some rough years for injuries. 2017 comes to mind with all the LBs we lost that year. But this year is the absolute worst. Many of them just freak one a million things like Chris Allen's foot getting stepped on.

Not medical, but I blew mine in a basketball game. After the initial pain went down, I walked out to my car and walked into my doctor's office the next day without a limp, and that was with a partially-torn MCL as well. I hate to tell you but your experience was not unique. Many people can walk normally. I've known people who've had them for decades without repairing them. Lane Bearden punted for us with his torn. Admittedly, he limped after each punt...

He could have dislocated his kneecap, and still be able to walk or even run till it dislocated again, I know all about that one ,,,a patellar tindon relocation was the cure, your knee is never the same .
