Heupel gives update on Tillman and I don’t like the sound of it

I'm gonna go with the actual 3-year study of Division 1 college football players with high ankle sprains over a three year period. That directly applies here. Their max return time was 30 days across all players and the average return time was 15.5 days. David Njoku from the Browns got a high ankle sprain Sunday and his timeline is listed as 2-5 weeks. Though the study notes that NFL players miss an average of 11 practices and 1.4 games with high ankle sprains.

"When the ultrasound findings were compared with number of days to return to play, patients with an intact interosseous membrane had an average return to play of 12.6 days (range, 2-26 days), and those with an interosseous membrane tear had an average of 19.6 days (range, 8-30 days), which was not statistically significant (P = 0.19). However, patients with clinically suspected high ankle sprain and a normal anterior tibiofibular ligament on ultrasound had an average return to play of 3.3 days (range, 2-7 days), compared with those with a complete tibiofibular ligament tear, who averaged 19.2 days (range, 8-30 days), which was statistically significant (P < 0.01)."

Clearly Tillman's injury was very much outside the normal high ankle sprain.

Maybe overthinking it a bit, but this is the first time his “long-term outlook” has been mentioned:

(From todays presser)

Heupel on Cedric Tillman: We'll see where he's at tomorrow and on game day, will be up to Cedric and our medical staff for his short- and long-term outlook.

I saw an article about him forgoing the rest of the season and then it disappeared.

This doesn't say anything at all. A generic statement about how the staff is planning on monitoring his progress under increasing work load. Short term is this weekend, long term is rest of career.

I suspect this will be his same speech until you see him take the field on gameday. JMO, his way of keeping the other team guessing.....and us, for that matter. lol

Heupel's remark tells me he's still not ready to play. If he were ready to play, the coach would have said so. But he didn't.
I'm not sure why he has to be so vague, except that coaches seem to like the vague/say nothing response to many injury situations--and I don't
think it's for tactical (let's not give the opponent anything) reasons, as it's not like anything much would change with our offense if Tillman were to play.

You guys have still not figured out that CJH will not give any information that will allow anyone outside the program to know.

Ced will play just wont play alot of reps. If he can play 20-30 reps that's awesome. Keyton has done more than enough to take the majority of reps.

I would only have him run go routes, posts, and slants. Try to avoid as much cutting on that ankle as possible.

Hopefully wouldn't need him too much for a home game against UK. I'd totally be fine with resting him for UGA if its a judgement call health wise.

If he can go I think they will want him to play SOME in order to get GA's attention in game planning. A catch or two would be great.

Id be shocked if he doesn't play to get sum live reps and ready for Ga...

Heupel has consistently tried to be as misleading as possible on injury updates

Based on that, I think Tillman will play ;)

To answer one of the questions in this thread, CJH has stated long term a few times over the last 2 weeks.

To go further, I think he is speaking to recruits with this language. We will protect your long term prospects for pro ball.

Only thing that worries me a little is maybe trying to get a rusty Tillman back in the groove when we already have a hot Hyatt, Bru, Fant, etc Just hope we don't waste established chemistry and valuable downs trying get Tillman back into the groove. At the very least I guess he could be used for a decoy (someone else to account for) until he's game speed ready.

....... or Tillman may just come back and tear it up and we are that much more explosive. Yeah, let's go with that.

Tillman’s been playing receiver all his life, and he’s in his second year of being Hooker’s primary target. Rust won’t be an issue. He’s ready.

I hope he plays Saturday night but know we can win without him. We've already proven that time and time again

I would assume we would hear of him practicing? Haven't heard if he is practicing at all
