Can he get a medical redshirt? This is horrible for his career. He played one quarter too long for a RS year. And he will for sure go undrafted with that injury.

As someone who is also an emergency room physician I think there is a very good chance it was his knee as well. We all could see that his foot was obviously externally rotated which often indicates a fracture dislocation of the ankle, BUT what I thought I saw was a very unusual divot in the anterior knee where his patella should be. That very well could indicate a distal femur or even a dislocation of the knee (which is a horrible injury). Now I guess it could also be a dislocated patella as well as a ankle fracture but that would be an odd combination. hopefully I am wrong and this is based off the limited view watching it live.

As a medical professional who works in the ER, I can tell you that break was either the Tibia bone or Femur, hard to tell without examining, but either way that kind of injury will not only end his college football playing, but it will most likely end any hope for the NFL. Very sad.

Geez nice positive Vibes there. I don't really care who you are or what you do, one thing you don't know is if his career is over or not! How about having some Faith, and hope in the young man that he DOES get to play again! These kind of post pi$$es me off

The announcers said ankle right before the commercial break. Not sure if that’s accurate but its the most official word so far.

Hopefully that is the case. I noticed his knee prior to seeing the direction of the ankle. He may just have a funky looking knee.

Just because you open the door to allow visitors in the back does not mean you’re a medical professional.

I've no idea what all is wrong. Ankle, knee, tibia, fibula, patella, no idea.

I do know this: that was a brutal injury. The kind that takes months, if not years, to come back from.

My hat is off for Bru McCoy, who didn't start out here, but ended up a Vol For Life. No matter what comes next. Wishing you the best in life, Bru. Spend time with Inky.

Prayers coming.

Go Vols!

If I may, the lateral rotation distally is typically associated with a specific tronchanter/upper femur rotation injury. Not typical of a knee. Unless it is also the dislocated patella (in addition to the obvious ankle injury). But, without examination, it’s hard to see if it’s a rotation of the entire extremity or just the ankle itself. I still observe an obvious ankle inj.

Unless it is a traumatic knee dislocation, which hopefully it is not. I first saw the abnormal appearing knee, then the rotation of the ankle. It seem unlikely to have a patellar dislocation AND a ankle fx/dl but not impossible. That is why I am saying it COULD be, not is, a knee dislocation (which as you know would mean likely total disruption of the knee ligaments and possibly even blood supply). Probably and hopefully not but I still contend his knee did not look normal, thus my concern.

I'm not a medical professional and I hate Holiday Inns.

Shattered my ankle in high school football. I was fine and "mostly" back to normal after a few months. Unfortunately, back to normal meant I still sucked. It does still cause me a wince on cold mornings when I first set foot on the floor though.

This was pushing 25 years ago for me. I'm sure athletic medicine has improved greatly in that timeframe.

The determining factor is going to be if he has nerve or ligament damage. Bones heal pretty quickly. Soft tissue does not.

It wasn't his ankle. It you couldn't clearly see it was (most likely) his knee femur that was broke, than I don't know what to say. It was right there on camera and it was obvious. In fact, when the camera was on the Tennessee sidelines, one of the assistant coaches mouthed, "it's broken." Man, a lot of people jumping on here posting about the injury that have no idea what they are talking about.

Of course you are correct about not being able to see the rotation of the entire lower leg, but like I said I saw both rotation of the foot/ankle AND and abnormal appearing knee so I was trying to guess at what might cause both. Had I first seen the ankle I would not have even looked at the knee but by chance the knee caught my eye initially.

How about letting the guy post what he wants to post? Stop trying to be the hall monitor. Are we supposed to care what pi$$ses you off?

If Bru wants, the school can petition fir a medical r/s I believe.
Seems like I recall a.similar thing here locally with IU a couple of years ago.

You have no idea what you’re talking about and I doubt very seriously you’re in the medical field
