re: 2020 Recruiting Thread (SVP and Broderick Jones stay committed to the G)

The initial article I read said he had been suffering from a sinus infection before this surgery

"Mathis, an early enrollee from Romulus, Mich, had experienced severe sinus pain brought on by the change in climate, according to his father, Terence Mathis. The sinus issue led to the discovery of the cyst."

There was an article with a quote from Kirby saying Mathis had completed his 6 weeks of antibiotics and was cleared to classes and non contact workouts.

Brain abscess is known complication/sequelae of frontal sinus infections. And you don't give antibiotics for a simple cyst removal, definitely not 6 week worth.

It has never been reported as an abscess. But medically an abscess is what makes sense. The surgery is the same. You still have to cut open someone's skull and remove it. So the chance of him playing football again is the same for both conditions.
