Wolfe?

A helmet hit to a bare knee wont feel very good either

Which has absolutely nothing to do with your ACL.

 

[utvolpj]

It may not be but they were testing for it.

I would guess it is checked with any injury to the knee. It's a quick thing to check

 

[volfanCLT]

They always do. They test for ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL right on the field to get a base reading.

Well duh...they always do for injuries like that. Just because they test for it doesn't mean anything really. Other than he got hit on the knee really hard.

 

[Carl Pickens]

If it is an acl the trainers can usually diagnose it very easily without having to wait on the MRI

 

[supersmo18]

If he is out for season because of that - these UT trainers need to start making players wear pants with the damn pads covering the knees

Ignorant post.

Never said it did. In fact, in my first post I said I'm sure they do with all knee injuries. It's a quick test to administer and in many cases the trainer will have a good idea if something is structurally wrong.

Someone make a sticky thread with injury updates to Pearson and Wolf --- straight from UT insiders only ---

 

[bcartervol98]

Pretty sure he is done. Sucks too that position is huge for us in this scheme.

Ignorant post.

Why does the NFL require them genius ? NFL reminder -- No knee, thigh pads, no play - ESPN

 

[BowlBrother85]

Fwiw, I met some of Ethan Wolf's family at the Downtown Marriott lobby last Sunday afternoon prior to the Utah St game...His whole family traveled down from Ohio to see him and were all very nice people (and tall)...Let's hope the best for him.

To prevent ACL injuries.

Kinda looks intentional from that photo.

It's how DB's are taught to tackle big guys, if they go high, they bounce off. I don't think the db was being dirty, anymore than we were being dirty against lattimore. It's just one of those crappy things that happen sometimes.

Not a good shot to take

Out for the year

Ya, that doesn't look good(he's most likely done) but I'm not giving up hope till I hear it from Butch Jones.

 

[armchair]

Wrap it in duct tape and get back out there, big fellow.

 

[Spartacavolus]

generally wouldn't put a broken ankle in a walking boot.

meant for Pearson thread. oops

 

[cooterbob]

we have alot of back room doctors present today but has anyone heard any factual knowledge of pearson or wolf. both looked good and will be a big loss if hurt bad

 

[DC Vol]

Excellent input, fellow VN user.

Wolf was on the stationary bike on the sideline about a quarter after the injury. He was going pretty slow, but he was at least pedaling. I don't see them putting him on the bike if they thought it was an ACL?
