Marlow

Is he out for the year?

[Husker_x]

Broken clavicle. Not a doctor. Sounds painful and long-term.

[Mavric]

Sounds like broken collar bone so it shouldn't be all year but probably a couple months.

[Blackshirt316]

I'd not expect to see him for a good six weeks.

 

And it's Marlowe, just to avoid giving people a heart attack thinking you are talking about Marrow.

Fell bad for the kid, we have enough stock at receiver that it isn't a huge loss, but he works hard and plays hard.

Sad to hear, but we are so deep, we will be ok.

It all depends on the severity....being in the physical therapy profession and having my left clavicle fractured TWICE....it can take a while. I had a speedy recovery, but wasn't feeling close to 100% until about the 3 month mark (still felt like it wasn't 100% for weeks after, no pain, just felt weak and compromised). We may not see him play on the field again this year...sadly. We'll have to wait it out and see based on the severity and how quickly he recovers.

Bo stated in the presser he expects him to be back by the end of October..I don't see that happening

I believe he is a senior and has probably redshirted. Would this injury allow him to apply for another year since it happened in the first half of the first game of the season? He will be out a minimum of 6 weeks before he could practice and 8 weeks to play now. If we aren't hurting for receivers and he could play another whole year, he should sit this year.

Why do you not see that happening? It would seem to me that if HIS coach thinks he'll be back at that time, then he should be back around that time.

I read an article that said October-early November at the earliest. There's wiggle room on the prediction.

I just don't expect him to be back on the field and contributing in that amount of time. Obviously everyone has a different recovery time based on their particulars, but its hard for me to believe he'll have his full r.o.m and strength back to play. Just my opinion

[IllinioisHusker]

Didn't Ryan Mathews of the Chargers have a broken clavicle already in preseason? They were saying he may only be out 4-6 weeks... Given, I know there are variables but this makes it seem like late october may be possible for a return.

[nuhuskeralum]

According to John Hopkins Orthopedics a teenager or adult with a broken clavicle requires 8 to 10 weeks healing time. But it just depends on the variables, was it cracked or broke through and some people just heal faster or slower than others. Either way he won't be back before the Michigan game. So far it doesn't sound like they are going to try for a medical waiver and sit him this year.
