Dont’e Thornton out remainder of season

[Volbrando]

Heupel just said Dont’e Thornton is out the remainder of the regular season.

Hate to see this especially as he was becoming more part of the offense. Hope the recovery goes well. Get well soon

 

[gray0306]

well kinda really screwed now

 

[Sara Clark]

We sure don't need that. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Hell of a catch. I was scared for him almost instantly. He could be a great player next year. Got to appreciate how he’s improved this year. So many guys could have just packed it in but he kept working hard.

I am excited for next year, the team is improving. Road bumps happen.

What was the injury

Surely Dolly has some eligibility left

We need her on defense though

 

[DiderotsGhost]

I feel for him. So brutal! Finally starting to break out and gets injured on arguably the 2nd best catch of the season (and would be the best if not for the completely insane Squirrel White catch in the Bama game).

Hope he's back 100% for next season and has more opportunities, because it felt like he was finally starting to break-through in this offense.

No surprise there. He had to be helped off the field, couldn't put any weight on it. Hate it for him. He had just turned the corner too.

She only works9-5, you gotta watch film at night

well the game is at 3:30... so maybe she can play the first half

 

[Tnphil]

Hate it...he's had injury problems for sure. Get well.

 

[AllVols]

What a bummer, he was coming around too.

 

[Majors]

Did he say the extent? Break, sprain or even surgery

At first I thought he just hurt his nuts.

 

[joevol33]

That stinks

 

[vollygirl]

Dangit! I absolutely HATE it for that kid.

Improving????

 

[VolBricks]

Bru now Thornton, if Squirrel goes down in the GA game we will be totally screwed.

Edit: we will still beat Vandy just running it every down but a bowl game would be tough to win with no WR with experience.

 

[first time caller]

Vols would have been shutout 36-0 if not for his incredible catch.

 

[OrangeInKy]

well the game is at 3:30... so maybe she can play the first half

Just like the team

 

[OrangeInKy]

Half the team will skip the bowl game, and with how injury plagued we have been, I don’t blame them.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

Improving????

From the first of the year yeah, this game is a bump in the road.

Young team and stuff happens.

Nah. We just roll with Nimrod, Webb and Dee and get a head start on next season.
