Injury updates & Depth Chart: Hank QUESTIONABLE (AC Joint Sprain, THROWING SHOULDER). Lutmer, Deshaun Lee & LJ Phillips AVAILABLE. Tyler Brown OUT

[Franisdaman]

Unless there is an obvious trip to the hospital these early depth charts are just reflections of how the prior game ended. Since 1999.

But Jeremy ended the game; so shouldn't he be QB1 on the depth chart?

 

[Franisdaman]

Heck definitely provided a spark 3 days ago.

[83Hawk]

Hopefully Heck is practicing with the 1’s.

 

[Franisdaman]

Kirk said the "only two questionable guys" are Hank and safety Ty Hudkins ahead of Washington on Friday.

Good to see Lutmer & Lee back.

 

[Franisdaman]

They do not have to disclose injuries until 2 hours before kickoff, so...

isn't there an intial injury report a couple days before the games?

 

[Franisdaman]

He should list Sullivan as QB1. Imagine the uproar here?

He might be QB2 so that Hank can go into the bye week to get healthy

If Brown can't go that would be the case. As I have mentioned earlier in other threads, I think it is too early to "give up on Brown" and hope he can go Friday.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Kirk said today that Hank Brown is “really limited” right now.

Adds that he has confidence in Jeremy Hecklinski if he gets the start on Friday.

 

[eyesofhawk]

I think Sullivan would do a fine job, but Hecklinski DESERVES to start. KF said the QB competition was "even," yet Brown has made every single start, and Heck didn't even take a single snap vs. ISU or Michigan, and he wouldn't have vs. OSU either--despite Brown's two turnovers--had Brown not been dinged. That's an interesting definition of "even competition."

Guess what? Brown won the job.

It was even until it wasn't

 

[eyesofhawk]

If Heck won't be given a fair shot, might The Capt turn to Ed Podolak, assuming he has some eligibility left?

A fair shot?

Heck was given more than a fair shot. The competition was left open into season play

 

[Rambler Hawk]

 

[85Bears]

Wally Pipp, if Heck wins the game he should be qb1

 

[Franisdaman]

If Brown can't go that would be the case. As I have mentioned earlier in other threads, I think it is too early to "give up on Brown" and hope he can go Friday.

What's the old saying? The backup QB is the most popular player of the fans?

 

[Franisdaman]

So AIRBHG has struck Washington now? Down to 4th string? I'll allow it...

AWRBHG?

 

[Franisdaman]

Hopefully Heck is practicing with the 1’s.

Heck's gotta be the starter....right?

And can we get LJ going now that he is healthy?

Right but even Hank fans should want him to possibly sit for a game. You try to rip a 40 yard pass with all that inflammation pressuring the tendons you could make a 2 week problem become a lot worst. I’m actually curious if someone minor was there before he went out, explaining some of the accuracy issues.

and last thing he wants is to get sacked & land hard on that shoulder

Seems possible.

 

[Driftless_Hawk]

Need this win. Washington top 2 RB's out. No one else on their injury report significant.

 

[Franisdaman]

Seems possible.

will be interesting to see what the trainers say and then what KF and TL decide

 

[Franisdaman]

Is this the type of game where we can run the ball?

 

[Franisdaman]

My God, an Injured Brown would move him from the 16th/17th best BIG QB, straight to 18.

How is he 16th out of 18?

ESPN has him #9.

You know how. For some here QB1 at Iowa is always the worst QB in the league, and QB2 is one of the best in the league
