Tank Injury?

Any news on the severity or when he will be back?

---

Doubt we will know anything until Saturday about 3:30. And we probably won't really know until then.

Yeah, he came back in for one carry after the injury and picked up 10 yards, didn't look like it hurt him too bad but they didn't want to take a chance on it getting worse.

At least maybe we learned something from KJ in 2017

I didnt see it that way at all. Looked like he went in for that one run and instantly realized he could no go. Took himself out and knew his day was over.

I think that was a trial run and it did not go how everyone wanted it to go. Looked like a hip injury. Could just be a bruise but It could also be worse

---

That was also my perception

I know he gained 10 yards but he looked nothing like his usual self on that run, fumbled too but got a lucky bounce. Couldn't speculate on his injury but given how these things usually play out I'll be surprised if he plays Saturday.

Another SN too, is the team is very very focused for the task at hand. This family member also said there is a business like attitude on the plains, whatever that means, Im hoping good.

Sounds like Tank's uncle gave you his member and y'all got down to business.

Should rest him til 100%

Gus kept him out for precautionary reasons

Maybe he learned something from Kerryon....

he actually got put right in after the initial injury play.

Guess he didn't learn anything after all. Same old Gus. He'll take a good horse and ride him to death. Tank is a gamer. There's zero doubt that kid wants the ball and he wants to play. But as a HC you've got to be able to know your kids and when they can go or not

here is a business like attitude on the plains,

Oh lordy. Gus said this about our bowl game last year against Minnesota, and look where that got us...:)

Early on it was said to be lower back.

At the least, he has been on the table daily. Trouble is a buxom blonde is not doing the massages. It's a trainer named Bubba ...that's reason enough to get off the table and say "I'm OK!"

I suspect he's been on muscle relaxants and pain meds ......Carefully monitored.

He might enter with mild discomfort, until he runs over a DB during a fifteen yard scamper ....then he'll be fine.
