Who do we have that has an injury besides Cam Sims, Bo Scarbrough, Jonathan Allen, and A'Shawn Robinson?
And what are the statuses on these guys? I heard Bo Scarbrough is 100 percent right now

Didn't Bo just tear his ACL in like February?

Don't crucify me but it's from a source on woolyal

That would be a ridiculously fast comeback. I shall remain skeptical.

Deer antler spray is a miracle worker, guys.

I wouldn't want him playing full contact until at least mid-season, and probably not even then.

The Bo Scar info is coming from a poster on Wooly who has a very good rep for actually having inside info. I've lurked enough to know that for myself, and he has been "in the know" before.
His info was that Bo Scar had a strength test done and his repaired knee was equal strength to his healthy knee. The understanding was that he'd be therefore ready.
An argument ensued as to whether passing a strength test meant the joint was ready, but I dunno. With this much hearsay, it's impossible to know.
Having said all that, all of the info I've ever heard from various sources is that Bo Scar's rehab has been ahead of schedule at every measurement. Coupled with the fact that he's already been out of HS a year and he's likely not a 4-5 year guy, the understanding of many is that he'll see the field immediately when ready - no shirt.
The same guy said a few weeks back opposite news about Cam Sims, that his injury was atrocious, his rehab is going slowly, and that he may never be the same. The number "18 months" was mentioned as a return date.
Take all this for what it's worth, but this guy has been right enough to have everyone's respect when it comes to inside info. This guy's rep leads me to believe this info more than some random schmuck, but it's still hearsay/rumor.
As a side note, I've heard no mention that Robinson or Allen are less than 100%.
ETA: Same guy said Bo Scar has been participating in 7on7s.

It is my info they are referring to from the wooley.
Here are the facts for BO, and Cam.
Bo's knee strength test was identical to his healthy knee. With that comes two things. He either A is healthy in the knee or B he could have faked it to pass the test. Either is possible. Let me add, BO HAS participated in 7 on 7 now the only question left is contact. Bo has had this injury twice so he knows what he is doing in recovery.
Now on to CAM, he has a MASSIVE tear and will likely never be the same, sorry to say that. He is looking at 18 months Min.

Glad to hear Bo is ahead of schedule. I'd prefer we bring him long slowly though. I'm not saying redshirt him but maybe aim for a mid season return.

What exactly does massive tear mean? Even if it was a complete tear of his meniscus, acl, and mcl, 18 months seems kind if ridiculous.

I thought so too at first. But if people are saying he will not be ready for spring 2016, but will be ready for fall 2016.. Then that would be about 18 months between injury and his first game action, I guess. I assume that is what's meant by '18 months'.

He is not progressing and healing on time is what it means.

Not everyone responds well to rebuilds. I had a full labral tear, partial rotator cuff, had the capsule tightened, and several bone spurs, all repaired 2 years ago. I will never be back where I was despite the surgery. It is what it is. I'm only 28 too. So it isn't like I am old.

Scuttlebutt on Bo is that he will be back "before" the Georgia game. This is per a source on BOL.

They typically wait for me to post lol, Like I said weeks ago.

That would make me very, very happy.
