Update on Tommy Armstrong

[HuskerNationNick]

I thought it would be a nice share, Tommy Armstrong stated on a social networking website, that surgery went well!

Best of recovery to you Armstrong!

He has some photos. I'm not sure what kind of surgery he had other than a (knee) deal. But it looks like his left leg from mid thy to ankle is in a compression/cooling system in his hospital bed. It looks like his surgery was on Friday as the pics were posted 3 days ago. He is shown Saturday with a couple of canes at Memorial Stadium.

Anyone know what kind of injury he had repaired? It looks much bigger than a knee scope.

So much for the "he'll transfer is he doesnt get to play" talk. I love when the bs is shot down by factual events.

Its just a "corrective" knee surgery. It was an injury he had in high school, and he is undergoing surgery to fix it the correct way. I don't know medical procedures all that well, but I am sure they have the whole leg wrapped to prevent blood clots from forming.

No kid who commits two years early and tells everyone he will earn his way on the field is going to transfer if he has to sit out one year of eligibility.. IF he was to transfer, he would lose 3 years of starting time. That is just nonsense.

He committed his Junior year...... That would be two years if my math was correct....

if he had committed his junior year - but he didn't. 9/19/11. Signing day was 2/1/12.

Ok... he came out publicly then, but he verbally committed between coaches and himself, his Junior year. He has that in an interview somewhere that I heard before signing day, that he had been committed since his Junior year.

How the hell did I not hear about this? Any idea on the length of recovery?

Sorry for the crude screenshots, but I figured some would like to see the pics.

From what I heard, he will be at practice, but not participate for a couple weeks.

Huh? I remember that thread was talking about how if Tommy doesn't get a chance to compete for the starting job next year that some people felt he may look elsewhere. I don't see how a successful minor and necessary surgery procedure this year as he is redshirting, is related...
