Any word on what he injured last night?
Someone said shoulder on another thread.

The way he was holding his hand out walking off, I thought maybe he badly jammed a finger or thumb or something. Seemed like he was in a lot of pain, and a bad jam would fit that. Total speculation on my part.

But then he was in the handshake line, shaking hands, and seemed fine.

Edit - nvm, riceville got it above!

Paraphrasing Tj in post-game: Dislocated shoulder, medical staff popped it back in........he'll be fine.....our CEO is tough!!
He should look at getting that surgically repaired, while still on the team. If it popped out that easily, and back in, he's likely done it before too.

From what I can tell and see, he is active, and he maybe wants to get into the SEALs, etc. Having a more "stable" shoulder should strongly be considered through surgical repair. Get it done now, is my opinion.

If he does consider it, he likely won't want to do it during the season, or maybe even during his senior year; surgery is a big hassle and inconvenience. But, getting it fixed now would be worth it to him in the long run. He should be covered medically as well.

All this provided if it is, or will be, a chronically unstable shoulder. I have no idea if that is the case.

That was an odd looking play. He was behind a player from the TV view, so it just looked like they bumped into each other. Must have been more impact than what it looked like from the backside.
It's one of those weird injuries that can look like nothing when it happens, but can be something!

Hear me out...Conrad was a QB at Kansas. Campbell started Lanning, a QB, at LB.

Hawley will start at Mike LB on Saturday.
One arm or two, he is in at Mike LB against his old team. Haha!

I guess stranger things...

Maybe wait until the non-conference is over so he can enjoy a little playing time? Your suggestion makes a lot of sense though.

And we aren't even sure how severe his dislocation condition is, if his rotator cuff is fully intact, etc. Or even if he has that condition or diagnosis.

The staff doesn't share that with us, usually. :) I'm sure there are several on this board who have had dislocated shoulders, and some with chronic, recurring subluxations and dislocations. It's not fun. The only way to fix that is corrective surgery. Most often it's for anterior shoulder dislocations.

Many people can live with the condition. It's a hassle and they just have to be careful. Athletes and someone like Conrad, might consider getting the corrective surgery.

i dislocated my shoulder while in college about 100 times... it would come out if i threw a ball or just reached for something at a weird angle, the doctors said it would keep happening without surgery... i had surgery scheduled a few times but always cancelled because their was an event i wanted to compete in... then picked up cross country skiing one winter which essentially mimicked all of the physical therapy work i was supposed to be doing. dislocated it once that winter and never had a problem since.

my point is he may not need surgery at all. one of the secondary reasons i never had the surgery is it sounded like people never felt their shoulder was as good as before and the son of one of the surgeons had the surgery and dislocated his shoulder again in his first competition after recovering.

Were you a PT or physician? This isn't the first time I've seen you talk in depth on surgery.
