Any news on Williams?

[Ranchdawg]

Looked bad on TV and his reaction made me think he's done for the season.

Bump. Copiah County guy.

Update: Torn tendon in quad as per his mother's FB post. Seemed much more serious. Hope the big fellow heals quickly!

If it’s a torn quad tendon, that IS pretty serious. That is a long rehab for just your average person. For an athlete to return to sport, I’m not even sure. Greater than one year if I had to form a guess.

Man that sucks. I hope he had insurance that will pay out.

I am a physical therapist, but I’ve always worked in the geriatric population. I’m not super familiar with “sports rehab” time frames, so I googled it AFTER I posted like a true message board genius. Looks like it’s closer to 9 months. Unfortunately, his college career is most likely over, and I hate that for him. But you could tell by his reaction on the field that he most likely already knew that. One of the hardest things I’ve had to watch on a football field in some time. Gut wrenching.

I think he has a shot at a medical RS. Could be wrong.

Medical Waiver now. He played in 3 games though so since the term redshirt no longer exists, the 4 game rule is null and void.

 

[DT4248]

just catch a case of tonsilitis. infinite eligibility glitch

 

[msudawg200]

Do those even exist anymore in 5 for 5? I don’t think they do.

No

 

[kired]

He redshirted in 22 and was granted a medical waiver in 23 according to his bio. So technically he had another year left before this 5 for 5 stuff, but who 17n knows now

 

[Bulldawg77]

Both him and Dink have another year due to injuries. These should be grandfathered in since both had injuries early in careers.

We'll have to sue the NCAA to get Williams another year.

We will see some of that paperwork was filed before 5 for 5 and my understanding is that have some wiggle room for players like Dink and Williams.

and get the right judge in the right county

Agree, you could just tell that him pounding his fists and hitting himself was knowing (or assuming) his career was done.

Horrible to watch. I hope we do what we can to get him another shot, if that's possible.

If the 5 years to play 5 rule didn't apply to the NFL camp players, I don't know how they could apply it to our two guys. But it's the NCAA so who knows?

 

[Wesson Bulldog]

I assure y'all, we have a judge in Copiah County who can get him a medical redshirt.

Recovery time for a torn tendon is 6-12 months. He's done as far as his participation this season is concerned.

 

[She Mate Me]

Guy was/is obviously a team leader. I’ve seen plenty of video with him leading warmups and firing up teammates.

Triple H came back in a little less than eight months.
