TheCropDuster Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 This sounds like the linebacker situation from last year.... http://www.journalstar.com/blog/huskers.php Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 You know I couldn't help but chuckle when I read that. It isn't funny at all but shees, how bad of luck could we get, the thinnest position on the team is the one getting beat up. The worst part about Jones and his Hammy, it seems as though those are recurring injuries, i had a pulled hamstring my senior year of highschool and it didnt completely heal until I graduated and took it easy for the summer. IIRC both Fluellen and Bowman last year had hammy problems for quite awhile. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Sounds like they are minor injuries. Hopefully they can make it back in the next week or less. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInKC16 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Sore hamstring? Come on, that isn't too serious. Relax folks, he will be fine for the LTech game. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I just hope that they take it easy this week to try and heal rather than rush back and make it worse. Quote Link to comment
BLKSHIRTD Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 i think that both players will have their time to recover and be good as new come time to play in the first game of the season sure its ok to worry about it but come on these guys are no dieon sanders and wont play cuase of a stubbed toe these are husker football players theyll be ready to go Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yeah, minor injuries. I rolled my ankle really bad about 2 months ago playing basketball and I still feel some pain from it occasionally. They should be able to play, but they won't be completely healed till after the season is over. Legs are the most important thing for a cornerback. Quote Link to comment

That's probably the difference between you and a guy that is in great shape, it's all about the recovery time. Not saying you aren't in good shape, I have no idea, but these guys are D1 cornerbacks who go through pretty rough conditioning. Bowman pulled his hammy in first game against Maine and he took over as starter in the fourth or fifth game of the season. I think Dre will be just fine, but he doesn't need to rush back by tomorrow.

When you run on a regular basis, it doesn't give your legs much of an opportunity to heal. The only time my ankle is ever sore is if I have been playing ball and having to change directions quickly. I suppose I am not on the same level of conditioning of a D-1 athlete, but leg pain doesn't go away quickly. Hopefully these guys are feeling better and ready to go by the start of the season.

I tore up my ankle sliding into a base after my junior year in HS. I am now 30. I can't ice skate and have to take it easy wakeboarding. Also, when it gets really cold, my ankle aches. Plus, all the ligaments were torn on the outside of my foot/ankle, so it completely gives if I step in a hole or on uneven ground. Plus, my therapist back then told me I'd probably get arthritis. Take it from me, ankles can be a bitch... Quote Link to comment
Nalow Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Dang it... Hamstrings can be a "pain" Although mine have always healed fairly quickly whenever they got hurt... Within a week or so. that is, if it's a "MINOR" injury. Quote Link to comment

ForeverRed Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I have a good idea! We'll just have Kenny Wilson play that position as well as the starter at running back. Quote Link to comment
