Well that sucks.

He could possibly make it back in time for the season though right?

Damn that's awful. I was really looking forward to seeing him play this year.

You hear about players coming back these days closer to 6 months than 9.

That said with the future he has he’ll probably end up sitting out the year

This will be a huge loss for UGA. With only a bit more than five months until opening weekend, I can't imagine he will play this season. He could be back in December or January, but unless UGA is in the playoffs, there would be no reason for him to hurry back to play a bowl game.

Is that the WR that got suspended then picked a fight the next game?

That sucks very badly, but honestly if I was him I would just sit the season out. Dude needs to get paid.

I like to go down to the local VFW sometimes and scare all the old men with my war stories of growing up a sports fan in the state of Georgia.

My liver is getting the belt tonight.

He's a first round talent, but I would think playing this season was important to show his maturity. As others have pointed out he has had some issues on the field with fights as well as squirting water at the UT QB. There have to be some character concerns that a full season of leading a talented team would help a lot.

Sucks for him, because he will definitely have to answer a lot of questions when the time comes with less good tape

Damn. Hate to see any player go down like that, and especially one of the more exciting players to watch in the SEC. I was honestly really looking forward to that Burks v. Pickens matchup, round 2, this year.

Hope he heals up quick and this doesn't hinder his professional career, because dude's definitely a first round talent.

This sucks he was gonna be a key asset to that offense, it's good it happened this early though, will give him more time to heal and potentially play later in the year

Absolutely hate seeing kids get hurt like this. And being so early in spring practice it was probably a non-contact injury which are freak accidents.

Who's the most likely guys to step up in his place?

That's ok. He'll still find a way to impact football games. He'll be sure to get a few personal fouls from the sideline every once in a while. He's that good.

Damn man, that sucks for the young fella. Hope for a speedy recovery.

He basically single handily beat Mizzou last year. He was a monster in that game.

Hate to see kids from Alabama who are close to making it big have something like this happen to them. Hope he fully recovers and have little doubt he will with today's medical knowledge.
