As we continue to wish Tyson and his family our best wishes, let's make sure that we avoid speculation about Tyson's condition.

Here's an AP article on CBS's website:

The university said the 20-year-old Gentry had surgery Friday night at Ohio State University Medical Center after being injured when he was tackled during a pass play at Ohio Stadium.

The walk-on was running a crossing pattern when he was hit by freshman defensive back Kurt Coleman.

Coach Jim Tressel canceled the rest of practice when Gentry was hurt.

The 6-foot-2, 165-pound Gentry is listed as a punter on the roster, but has been trying out as a receiver this spring.

Linebacker Marcus Freeman said players were told Gentry had little feeling in his body immediately after the hit.

"Coach Tressel said at first he couldn't feel anything from his head down. But by the time the ambulance got there, from the very top of his shoulder, he could start to feel," Freeman said.

That's encouraging. Best wishes to Tyson and his family.

Thanks, Ryn.

Could you also ask your friend for Tyson's address for those
of us who might want to send a card or letter?

Thanks again.

I assume you could send a card to the hospital(OSU) or drop it off(If you live close to OSU) and it would be delivered to his room.

Thats just a assumption though.

You hate to see serious injuries like this. I hope the young man fully recovers.
