Gatens Injures Hand in Practice

[loesshillshawk]

Tendons have to regrow...you cannot speed that up at all. My step mom had tendons torn and stretched in her shoulder in a car accident. Specialist told her nothing you could do but in 12 weeks the tendon will regrow and then the pain will be gone and you will get normal movement back...so this isn't good news.

My dog once tore his achelies tendon and limped around for like 2 weeks and was fine...

redshirt him

what's the difference if we win 8 games or 12 games?

4 games. What did I win?

 

[hawkeye12345]

I agree with the others about the redshirt. Redshirt the kid and give him an extra year to play at Iowa. Plus he could probably be well on his way to a masters degree by the time he graduates.

I blame Alford.

Sounds like Gatens is looking at missing just 3 weeks. Must not have been that bad of a tear. Good news for him.

 

[crabshack]

no biggie really. now you only win 8 games instead of 10.

 

[Maddog81]

Dang. I was going to ask earlier this week if Gatens could play outside linebacker for a few games.

Looks like we dodged a bit of a bullet here....Matt might only miss the first two games,vs SD and LM....both winnable.
