Has anybody heard anything on him? There is a thread over on the pay board on HR labeled "Gettis Injured" but I cut my subscription a few months back. I hope whatever it is it isn't bad.
 
Word is that he has a high ankle sprain. Hopefully he recovers in time for the ISU game...he's probably doubtful for EIU.
 
of course!! can't have a day go by with out a freaking injured player--- this sucks-- just a high ankle sprain? so he'll be ok by ISU some think?? it's soooo imperative that our starting OL get's as many reps together and start the gelling---- that has been good so far from my understanding this camp

Actually, knock on wood but we have had very few injuries so far this camp. Kirk just said that everybody would be ready to go come the Eastern Illinois game before the alleged Gettis injury. There are a ton of teams that have a whole lot more injuries than we do right now. Unfortunately, injuries are part of the game.
 
The curse of the high ankle sprain continues from last year... How many people missed games last year because of that injury? I hope MacMillan is ready and I hope Gettis can get back for ISU.

Robinson? Even if this is true, I wouldn't worry about ISU; their d-line won't be able to get much of a push. They'll have to blitz to get any pressure on Stanzi.
 
Is this official? Isn't this the same site that had Tyler Sash with a broken collarbone on Wednesday?

If true, then it sucks but injuries happen.

IDK which site it is, but HR is a lot more accurate than HI is.

Mac -

The rumored "news" was started by a poster ... not by an admin. It sounds like Rob is trying to track down whether there is any truth to what the poster wrote.

Rob definitely provided inaccurate info several weeks ago ... however, plenty of what leaks out of the HI site ends up being fairly accurate.
 
They have a good record of being right or at least partially right but certainly not 100%. He very well could be injured with a High Ankle Sprain but this could also be a tweak or something less severe.
Until we hear from KF I'll remain a tad skeptical.
 
I don't know whether the rumor is true or not but any time I hear 'high ankle sprain' I think of the comments from people familiar with the injury that in most cases a clean ankle break is a better injury to have because it tends to heal faster.

Man, after a ACL or actual broken leg/arm I have to think that high ankle sprains are about the worst injury in football.

I am excited for the O-Line this year. We got the talent and you know we got the coaching. After this year is over we could have 8 or 9 guys on roster with big time Big10 that has been proven in games. Plus we will have Donnal and a couple of big time (4 star) freshman coming onto the team as well.
 
I pray this is a false report.
1. Gettis was reported to be having a great camp.
2. High ankle sprains usually take a couple of months or more to recover from.
3. This o-line especially needs to have reps in games to gel.
4. O-line is the biggest X factor on the team.

I try to temper my excitement for the Hawks,knowing that injuries are always looming to ruin a season. Iowa has a phyical camp,unlike the Bears,who do not seem to have the camp injuries that Iowa has. I guess it is a tradeoff...be healthy or be ready.
