Thank you LORD!

Heupel confirms

I think that Moore takes most of the first team snaps in practice this week.

Who is Sean Sparks??

Bubba’s kid.

Josh has said this before for the player not to miss several games. This is a pat answer when there’s an undisclosed injury.

Would be extremely tone deaf and weird for him to laugh and kinda joke about it if he honestly didn’t expect him to play

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

left arm never moved

Good thing he’s right handed

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Dont know but Hooker quoted him about Nico's injury and took it as gospel just before the Heupel comment came out.

He is on Volvault on Facebook. He is very good at predicting recruiting.

 

[GetEmVols]

Nico will be listed as questionable or probable on Wednesday all the way until game day.. be ready.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I didn’t see the play where Nico was hurt. Does anyone know when it happened exactly?

I think it was the play right before the halftime field goal. Got hit while throwing the ball.

 

[CAVPUT]

Thornton is soft. He doesn't like getting tackled

Kid seems to have been injured from the day he set foot on campus.

 

[MiramarVol]

Shortened gait. Left arm not moving in a natural walking motion. Makes me think he has a Non-throwing shoulder injury.

im just waiting on some wild rumors

 

[OrangeInKy]

I'm gonna wait and see on this one. Further testing can always change things.

 

[Cartervol]

He didn't land on his non throwing arm. Not sure what's going on there.

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

But he's soft and doesn't like getting tackled. True story, I read it here.

Maybe that’s why he makes big plays. Running scared away from people trying to tackle him

 

[76volman]

When walking and not moving one arm means either shoulder separation, collar bone, rotator cuff, or high rib injury. Very hard to know without Dr. knowledge

 

[wombat7477]

This isn’t a bash on Nico, but Nico being out isn’t exactly a ruined season for sure. Nico has given mediocre performances at best- expected with his experience. Although the last 2 weeks looked like he was putting it together. All I’m saying is Nico hasn’t been exactly carrying this team. Defense has.

He's a clear upgrade over Moore though, higher floor and infinitely higher ceiling.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Was Jeremy banks around

Did anyone trip over a helmet

 

[molsen81]

We won't get to see how special this offense is until next season when Nico is more polished and has a year of experience in the system.

 

[aaronvol]

Boys, he landed on that left shoulder on that last play and it wasn't moving at all in his walk back to the sideline or postgame. i'm expecting Gaston.

 

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Shortened gait. Left arm not moving in a natural walking motion. Makes me think he has a Non-throwing shoulder injury.

This is a little out of left field but it could be a combination of a concussion and a nerve pinch. I only guess because I had something similar but it looked the same: massive headache with sudden muscle weakness that quickly heals as the tissue around the nerve stops pressing on it. It’s tricky to diagnose and the weakness can cause you to put your arm to the side or in a pocket.

 

[Volfan39]

He is experiencing a concussion. After that play where he got hit he came back in the game and led the team into field goal range. If it was a broken collarbone he would not have been able to do that. His left shoulder is just strained or sprained

 

[cgrish]

Thank the Lord- even if we lose I want to see our best vs theirs.

Hope Thornton is ok on his 70th injury this season too.

imo Thornton is our best deep threat, I really hope he is 100% and back

 

[Col_Cathcart]

I didn’t see the play where Nico was hurt. Does anyone know when it happened exactly?

They showed one play during the broadcast, but a different one in a recap I saw during the BYU game. I don’t think anyone knows for certain.

 

[Johnnycatvol]

Here are Nico's last 2 plays on Saturday. He zips the ball to Squirrel on the last play. I don't think he's hurt. He certainly wouldn't miss this game.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Could just be a mixture of both. There’s no insider information.

 

[LivinginthePast]

We need an update. When is next coach press conference?
