CJ being reported as concussion and possible shoulder
- Thread starter IrishBlooded
- Start date
I'd put my money on a separated shoulder. The way he fell at that angle puts a lot of pressure on the AC joint which is where your collarbone and scapula (shoulder blade) meet at the top of your shoulder right before the meaty part.
It's painful and there are different grades of severity, but I played with and coached numerous kids who had separated shoulders, I think only 1 required surgery after the season was out. Otherwise you could play with it that day, a week later, or 2-4 weeks later with rehab. Also there are equipment adjustments that can be made to help, spider pads and a ring pad can be put right over the "knob" and under the shoulder pads.
If that's what it is, CJ is in a lot of pain right now, but I'd take a separated shoulder over a dislocated or subluxed shoulder any day. JMHO after two shoulder surgeries in college for dislocated and subluxed shoulders.

luckily we have WF next week. dont think we will need him but it would be nice.
Coach Kelly said they hope to have him for next week so we'll see what they find out. He said it didn't appear serious.
Well according to Kelly in the post game interview on the field....he says it doesn't seem serious for Prosise and they are hopeful for him to be back for next week. If there's even a shadow of a doubt I'd sit him for WF.
The rest of that game yes. Depending on the results of the concussion protocol test
I'd go even further and plan to sit him for both WF and BC. We need him for 3 more games starting with Stanford.
BC? You know that BC has a top 5 overall and top 5 rushing defense, right? ND will need all of their weapons against BC.
I like the way you think.....but maybe just WF and then see how the game is unfolding against BC then maybe make the call whether to play him or not. Even as bad as they are the Eagles could give ND a fit. They are like Pitt in that fashion that they can normally make a game of it.
I don't think we will need him till stanford game. Get him rested next couple weeks so he is ready to go against standford.
