Avery Davis - ACL - Done for the season

[1Redrum]

Well this sucks to wake up to on a Saturday morning 3 weeks before game #1.

They better head over to the lacrosse team and see if anyone can catch a ball.

InsideNDSports - Updated: Another ACL injury truncates Notre Dame WR Avery Davis' comeback

Injury reduces Notre Dame's wide receiver corps to seven scholarship players, and not all of them are currently healthy.

Terrible for him… need Wilkins back asap

styles
Lenzy
Thomas
Merriweather
Wilkins (when back)

staes and raridon splitting out more, tyree in slot more… Mayer a ton

styles, Mayer, tyree need to be healthy all season, and can’t have any more significant injuries to wr

 

[Golson5]

This is devastating to him and the team. Wow

 

[mirer03]

Lots of two te. Regret not pushing x watts to wr in spring. Might have to revisit with him 5th on safety depth chart

 

[mirer03]

I don't think moving a top two rb at this late juncture is the answer especially with the price injury.

Gotta look at dbs who also played wr

Colzie

Heard Colzie got hurt as well. Stability brace. Maybe all WR need to wear those at practice.

Meriwether is going to see significant time as is Thomas. Both have higher accolades, body types and upside than anyone listed above except Styles.

I don’t think a Colzie, Thomas, Meriwether and Styles with Mayer put us at a disadvantage. That’s about as good as it gets.

Put Tyree in the slot and lean on Diggs as the premier back.

We need a haul of WR in 22. Come on boys, early PT!!

 

[THUNDERSTRUCK111]

The staff had no choice now but to move watts back to WR for this season. Idk. Jmo

 

[BaldyNd]

Feel terrible for him. We need Thomas and Merriweather to step in. Styles and Lenzy should get a lot of action. Is Wilkins expected back? And Colzie? It’s getting dangerous…

Tyree isn't a slot guy. More straight line than quick in and out

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Aww man. This is heartbreaking. Perhaps the most selfless guy on the team.

Awful to hear. Hate seeing injuries to any player. Prayers for a full recovery for this player!

 

[mbd11]

Too bad. We're gonna need to use the TEs and RBs a lot in the passing game.

 

[bizzybecknd]

The leadership piece is huge as well, having a captain go down makes it much more difficult for the WR corps/QBs. Same knee?

Other knee

Failed surgery

That's too bad. Here is hoping he enjoys a full recovery.

At least he'll still be present everyday to mentor the younger guys.

Colzie

I don't see it with him, but hope i'm wrong (that's why I didn't list him, i don't expect much production)

 

[Get Nasty]

The bigger issue is practice more so than games. With our WR depth you can't practice like you really want to.

With that said, as good as OSU's offense was last year, really only 3 WRs made an impact, then a 4th (Harrison) came on late. 4 good WRs is more than enough for games, you just have no wiggle room for injury and practice can be tricky.

I think you'll see 5 WRs play a lot (Sounds like wilkins back soon so I included him), multiple TEs, and Tyree outside. If i'm wrong about Colzie and he ends up being good, then that's 6.

Injuries are racking up on us.....Wilkens....Davis....maybe Colzie......Diggs......Might have to baby some guys to make it to the first game with a starting line of skill guys....

That's 2 of your #1's dinged up on offense.......Dont know if OSU is having the same luck....but usually all teams get some dings...

There are no #1s out… Davis would obviously have contributed diggs would be running 2 or 3 in RB pecking order… estime supposedly have a great camp

We have to let players play. Davis tore his ACL cutting on a jet sweep, non contact. We can’t worry about guys getting injured running and cutting.

Maybe it would be nice to practice on grass now and again.

If he's not injured and able to play, he will produce no matter what. At worst he'd be the number 5 wr and that's if there is no injuries throughout the year.

He's going to play and going to put up numbers. How much is the question

Wilkins and Diggs are both good to go for OSU according to Freeman.

I think he’ll quickly be number 6 when Wilkins comes back (if healthy)… reports weren’t positive on colzie in spring or fall camp

 

[Get Nasty]

6 ND wrs caught passes last year with colzie and Wilkins being 5 and 6 at 4 receptions each… and really only 1 te caught passes

We right now are ok with game
Numbers not practice numbers…. No excuses

 

[Zorich 88]

Bright side:
He will have a Notre Dame degree and basically have a career any where he wants.

Very nice young man!!!!!!!

 

[Zorich 88]

We gotta get the RBs involved in the pass game. I liked it when they did it last season. Tommy needs to increase that option.

 

[Golson5]

He's a more talented player than Wilkins and Wilkins wont be fully ready. I expect Colzie to make an impact this year

 

[jcswoopnh]

Don't underestimate how much ND is going to miss his leadership. He was a captain last year and most likely again this year

He’s not dead…. Other than qb/oline hard for a wr to lead ON the field, he can still lead verbally off

 

[Get Nasty]

I thought so coming in, his movement on the field last year makes me not sure now…

I’d be very shocked if he had 20 receptions this year

He's definitely more talented. If he plays better that's another question

20 receptions for your 5th wr is a solid number

Not the same with not playing... but thanks for the great analysis

Very much so, hence why I would be very shocked
