I heard Chip Towers (I believe) on Brandon Adams podcast say it was definitely a medical issue and not a drug issue. He also said he knows a lot more about the situation but couldn't comment due to HIPPA regulations and had watched the police body camera footage and read the supplemental reports. He confirmed that TT was out of it and that a police officer asked TT if he had taken oxies and TT answered "yes". That's a little different that it was portrayed in the initial report as I beleievef than TT just telling the officers that he had taken two oxies. I now believe he'll be back by summer at the latest.

Chip did mention that weight wise, he's down to like 270ish right now (supposedly associated with the medical condition)... certainly would like to see him back on campus sooner rather than later (healthy most importantly) as he'd have to put back on at least 20-25 pounds to man the DT spot safely this season, and likely needs 30+ to cover the NT spot in any rotations where it's needed. Sounds like things are progressing well for him medically though, so glad to hear it. Just don't want this to be the first domino and then have injury issues during the season from competing at a weight too light for what he's used to doing.
