    Kneecap injury. Doesn't sound good. Might be out for the season.

    That sucks, I had high hopes for him. He was one of the best players TN High put out in a long time.

    You a Bristol area guy? If so, we live in the same area. I coached with 2 of TN High's current staff. Great guys.

    No, Knoxville. West played them a couple of years ago when Cowder an Downs were seniors. I thought Downs was the better prospect of the two.

    if this is true, Tight End is extremely thin, and now a weak spot. We can thank Laptop Cam for this.

    Or we can blame our incompetent staff for not bringing in any more people of substance at TE.

    Patrick Brown tweeted that they were simming injuries during practice to simulate game type situations in case of injuries during the game.

    Someone was quoted as saying the injury was so bad he had to look away.

    Dislocated kneecaps look a lot worse than they usually are

    I once saw this on the rugby field. The guy was walking around normal a couple days later. The problem is it can come loose again easy so they immobilize it for a month or two. If no other complications Dr. Jew says he is out until about November. If other complications or tears it would be the season.

    There are several positions where you can make this complaint, but six weeks ago, we had four recruited TEs on the roster. Are we really supposed to recruit more than that?

    Stopped by toos to see if there was any more info on this situation... After reading the word "damn" in 90% of the posts on the first two pages, I realized what a waste of time that was.

    Meredith has had the same hamstring injury for two years...

    I suppose. But allow me to reintroduce my point of needing to recruit a TE "of substance" though.

    I don't know enough about Meredith to say whether he has substance, but if he doesn't, then fair enough.

    Thank goodness. Even so, might not be the worst idea to have a backup tackle work a little there in case we need another blocker.
