Just a thread to post routine injury updates throughout the season. Not trying to replace any specific weekly injury reports for ND and our opponent... 

Feel free to post and add if I miss anything. I'll try and update weekly, likely after BKs presser. If there is already a thread like this please merge, or if someone does a weakly, let me know and we can delete this.

 

• Paul Moala (1C at Rover)
  • Injury - Tore his other Achilles tendon.
  • Status - Out for the year
  • Next up - Kiser and Pryor were 1A and 1B
  • MIsc - BK acted emotional. Said it was a raw sad moment IIRC
• Blake Fisher (Starting LT)
  • Injury - Knee
  • Status - MRI Today
  • Next up - Carmody #2 LT, or Baker #2 RT who also practiced at LT earlier
  • MIsc - BK said he didn't think he severely injured his ACL or MCL (so perhaps just a strain)
• Shayne Simon (#2 WILL)
  • Injury - Shoulder
  • Status - MRI Today
  • Next up - WILL was already thin with Marist LIufau out. If Simon's injury is significant, might see some reshuffling and guys like Kolie getting a look. The lack of LBs in the 2020 class may come back to bite us.
  • MIsc - Hoping it's not to serious. With scheme changes though, I could see some chaos at LB for a portion of the season.
• Kevin Bauman (2B TE)
  • Injury - leg fracture
  • Status - surgery and plate, 6 weeks likely
  • Next up - As long as Mayer is healthy, we're OK, but need someone to spell snaps at times. Takacs at 2A can do that.
  • MIsc - This likely opens the door up a bit for one other. My bet is Mitchell Evans who some say has been a freak, and possible the next great ND TE after Mayer.
• Note - Jordan Botelho, CBo Flemister, and Logan Diggs have unknown situations, but most assume Covid related. BK was asked, didn't say much, but said we'd get an update later in the week (Tuesday or Wednesday).

Attrition hitting hard already, thanks for putting in the work of posting this. Prince Kollie may definitely need to be shuffled into position at LB if Simon is out.

Personally I want to start Bo at Mike, Drew at WILL, and Kiser at Rover.

Might be out six weeks with a knee strain per UHND.COM

Fisher is Out at least 8 weeks with surgery for meniscus injury.

Simon out for the year with torn labrum. 
 

things are getting thin already. Nothing derails a season like the injury bug.

 

 

Where the hell is Bali’s?  Just kidding. These things suck. Football is grueling and these guys pay a high price. Speedy recovery for these guys. 

Also Diggs is available. C’Bo and Bortello, not so much.

Really hope we see Tosh get some time Saturday. I'm just not comfortable with Carmody at this point.

I agree, I would like to see Tosh Baker get some action. He was the best ranked OLineman out of high school from our class. Borderline 5* on one of the sites I believe.

He ran with the ones some earlier this year. Going to trust the coaches, but overall the OL IMO has underperformed their star rankings a bit as a unit since Harry left. 

Also want to see Spindler if the Gs can't get it together.

I hope there isn't much else to post in here going forward.  I feel we were pretty lucky last year with injuries.  Let's hope nothing else serious from here on out.
