2009 Official Injury Thread

[southcampus]

He injured it on Friday, I know that much. Whether he aggravated it during the game I don't know.
I hope/think he will be good to go by this weekend. I heard we have a big game coming up.

OSU getting healthier, or not?

Jim Tressel met with the media today for the final time before the USC game. It's always a chance to get the latest on any injured players...

-- WR DeVier Posey, limited last week by an ankle injury, is fine, Tressel said. That could be a big deal, as he was largely ineffective (2 catches, 14 yards) in about a quarter of play against Navy.

-- Reserve DBs Ohrian Johnson and Travis Howard will be back. That helps the depth situation a lot. They are the No. 4 safety and corner, respectively.

-- DT Dexter Larimore (sore legs from being cut-blocked last week) should be fine.

On the negative side:

-- Reserve safety Aaron Gant remains out, and had arthroscopic surgery this past week...not exactly sure what was scoped, but definitely lower body, so likely a knee. That normally is a 2-4 week injury.

-- Saw backup left tackle J.B. Shugarts with a boot on his right foot. It wasn't a big boot, like those walking cast things, but it definitely was something out of the ordinary, let's put it that way.

-- WR Taurian Washington has a brace on his right wrist.

Ken Gordon just posted this on Twitter: Big news: Cordle out 3-4 weeks with ankle injury; Shugarts to start

[scarletngray]

Bummer for Cordle, if true. I'm glad though that we have someone like JB who can step in and step up. Hopefully, this will be his chance to shine and he will seize the moment and make the best of it.

Get well soon Jimmy..

3-4 weeks of starting might be all that is necessary for Shug to cement the position.

It would be sad indeed for a good Buckeye to get Wally Pipped as a senior.

Life is not fair, but it goes on.

I think Shugarts to RT is a good move, which is his natural position. I foresee Cordle battling with Browning for RG position when he comes back. With reports of Adams battling for playing time, I think it's time we see the entire Block-O in action.

Sounds like we might have some major injury problems heading into the most important part of our schedule.
Pettrey's injury looked like he may be done with a knee injury to his kicking leg.
I haven't heard much about Boren, but we really are going to need him in there.

I heard that if we were playing PoSU yesterday, that Boren wouldve played. I think were in better shape than you might think. Big Dex will be back. Boom looks ready. Alot of people played, which allowed the starters to rest for almost a half.

Glad to hear it.
Adams is in fact out for the rest of the season, correct? IMO that is a big loss. Left tackle looks weak right now and we're going to get some major pressure these next 2 weeks, hope we can get something worked out there on the left side.
Dex coming back will be huge, RB's being healthy is a plus, and hopefully we can get Ben Buchannon (SP?) back if Aaron can't go.
