BJ indicates Vareen will be back

[HeyHeyUT]

Am I reading this wrong: "These individuals will be back,” Jones said. “We fully anticipate them being back.”

Seems like the MRI may be precautionary. Great news if so... we need Corey to spend the year developing.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

That's what he said. I'm hoping for the best. Vereen was going to help this season. Great kid too.

 

[ItsAllVols]

Good they take pre-caution for the players, although he will be out for some practices.

Injuries happen to every team. Don't know why, but it seems to me the better teams seem to usually get them in practice, while the weaker teams get them in games.

Next man has to step up, and it looks like the trainers and medical staff are gonna earn their pay.

Lack of quality depth will do that to any team / fanbase :jpshakehead::jpshakehead:

No, we need him contributing quite a bit.

Not reading it wrong, but "back" is somewhat relative. We know that neither Vereen nor Jacques have serious injuries, and will be back at some point. I don't think Coach Jones is indicating that either of these players won't miss any practice time, or in Jac's case at least, the first game or two.

He's a true frosh, of course he'll be back. Unless he ripped his leg off at the hip

Surely it would be all over Twitter by now

This is funny!

Vareen "gets it", he don't need no stinking leg!

 

[General Jack]

Good deal, looking forward to seeing Vereen play this fall. Sounds like he's going to be a good one.

I saw Corey Vereen play 3-4 times live in high school. I never saw him dominate a game, but he is a solid player. However, I am mildly pleasantly surprised that he's been so impressive in Knoxville. Kids blossom at different times. Hopefully, he will be a great one by the time he graduates with a UT degree.

Greenstick fracture of the femur would be another noteworthy injury IMO :hi:

 

[bigorange]

Was there an update after evaluating the MRI results?

 

[Volleycat]

TOS says Vareen had surgery today on torn meniscus. May be out 5 weeks or so.

This sucks but not as bad as it could have been. Probably could have used him for Oregon though.

 

[Catbone]

Dammit

 

[LaagerVol]

Just glad it isn't ACL. Hope they don't rush him back too quickly and he hurts it worse.

 

[utvolpj]

wonder what they actually did to it. 5 weeks just seems a bit long. Maybe CBJ will clarify

Injuries happen to every team. Don't know why, but it seems to me the better teams seem to work through them, while the weaker teams use them as an excuse.
