Wieskamp Injury

[RobHowe]

FM said after the game that it's an ankle sprain and that he would be a game-time decision for ISU on Thursday.

Oh my. The hits just keep coming.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

It looked a little scary. Dang.

Should just hold him out, I care more about this kids season than one or two games. We need him in the Big.

This.

Ankle sprains are nagging and can go on for a whole season if you push it.

This team is going to be .250 or below in conference anyway, let him sit and heal.

Yep, this twice. There is nothing to be gained by forcing him to play on this team while injured.

Knowing Joe, he'll do everything in his power to play against Iowa State. He doesn't want to miss that one.

As well he should Rob, as well he should.

He will be out for extended time. Iowa cant have nice things.

Obviously if hes hurt hes hurt...but if he can play against Iowa State he can then take almost a month off before Purdue.

 

[Oldmanhawk]

If there’s a chance of reaggrevating you don’t play him until he’s 100%.. ankle sprains need to heal.. some heal in couple days..some couple weeks..

So the ISU game is our season then? I want Iowa to win game too but you don’t force it if there’s a chance he makes it worse..

 

[Hawk1987]

Might as well save him. This team is going to struggle making the NIT.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

BEST player already injured ... make sure he’s 100% before he goes again. Of anyone on this team, he has the brightest future beyond this small pond.

 

[HuckFinn]

If is not the dreaded high ankle sprain, he may be back soon.

 

[smitharooney]

Must not be a high ankle sprain if Thursday is up in the air

 

[eveningnewsteam]

Only way those get better is rest. Sure you can keep practicing/playing on it and be about 70% at best the rest of the year.

 

[Tierney]

The bad news is he sprained his ankle. The good news is it isn't anything more serious than an ankle sprain. For a freshman he is fun to watch. If Iowa doesn't win some conference games, I doubt he has a chance at any all freshman teams.

I'm with Mopkins on this. He's referring to the smaller teams that the team plays between the ISU game and Purdue game. They should all be easy wins without Joe. UNI, Western Carolina, Savanna State, & Bryant.

If Joe can go this team needs him against ISU. He can get plenty of rest before the Purdue game on January 3rd.

Leg Injuries are the hardest to deal with especially the open compound tibia and fibula fractures like I had. It sucks to high heavens.
