Hendon Hooker status? ***UPDATE - Torn ACL***

[Arrested Devolopment]

I must be getting soft in my old age because as soon as Hooker got hurt, I immediately went from ranting and fuming about the atrocious game to not caring about it at all.
Get well, young man.

That's the way to be.

I hear he sprained his ankle

I find that doubtful... one can hope though. Not sure why he would be grabbing his knee with an ankle injury

The looks of it was almost certainly a non contact ACL tear. That’s just based on the ones I’ve seen in the past. I mean, you could see he was screaming on the ground.

If that’s the end of it in a Vols uniform, I can say nothing less than thanks for everything. A true Vol.

Hooker has been a joy for TN fans. I hate to see it end the way it appears. I hope for his sake that it is not long term. I doubt we see hin again in a Vols uniform and I wish nothing but success to him and his family in the future. It has been a fun ride to watch him suit up and put on a show.

Maybe, but Jordan Horston did the same thing last week. Played yesterday and today.

Hooker did this last year and it looked bad and came back.

Why In the hell was there so much sand on their field? It looked the the rubber pellets from turf fields flying around everywhere.

That field was terrible

Crap

Confirmed. You hate to see it

Just In: Tennessee Provides Update on Hendon Hooker Injury

I love this young man. Thank you for everything. Please heal quickly and go make some money for your family.

Sucks for him.

To be clear, I posted my JOKE above without seeing the post about the ACL tear (they were posted within 3 minutes of each other). It sucks, if true, but he will bounce back as good as ever.

Sorry to hear, but not surprised.

Been a great ride, good luck with rehab and hope you make it in the pros.

Man what a bad week.

 

[VolGirl81]

I just hate this ending for him as a Vol, he doesn’t deserve it. Gutsy VFL.

 

[N.ohio vol]

That's the way it looked last night. Terrible news. Prayers for him keep your chin up Hendon.

 

[volfaninky]

Another reason we should never put in turf again

My bad… I meant to say sandy turf and didn’t say that correctly

 

[Orange defense]

I guess Milton will take over from now on, right?

I didn't see it man. Sue me. I've been around here a long time, I don't rip our players half as much as 90% of the board. It was just a hooker joke. There have been 5,000 of them made on this board the last 2 years. Go on with your white knighting though, it's noble work you are doing.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

Terrible news but was kind of waiting on this.

Two years ago, we thought he was going to be a backup and exit stage right with little fanfare. Now, look at what this young man has done. Thanks for everything, Hendon.

Joe Milton and Co. - next man up.
