Out until fall practice. Lisfranc injury. Same one that cost Jarron Jones a year. Defensive line is already thin.
Elijah Taylor DT
- Thread starter impossibilityofreason1
- Start date
Read he had surgery and would be available for drills and conditioning come July. Jones didn't recover quickly and hope Taylor's is in line with the prognosis. Damn, hope Polian pulls off a coup and get Pegano to commit.
I read that too Telx. Kelly said you can condition while recuperating but that is far different from practicing or playing. Hoping he can play at some point this season. The defense needs all the depth it can get.
Impossibility...you made me question what I thought I had read. Went back and reread and Kelly States they are hopeful that Taylor will be fully cleared in July. That sounds great and if so, he should be ready to play when the season begins, as Kelly also stated he can train and condition around the injury until cleared. Of course, I think Kelly has been wrong about recoveries a hell of a lot more often than right, but assume he is basing this on what the doctors and trainers are saying. I think Bodi posted several weeks ago that he views Taylor as one of the most critical pieces of our defense this year, and I agree...especially given Cage's concussion experience last year.

I've posted how many times?
The Irish Dline has plenty
Elijah Taylor is a much more motivated player than Jaron Jones. Hopefully he can recover quicker..

Bodi, I agree. I think Taylor loves playing football and he will do everything asked of hIm in rehab, jaron not so much on either front. I think some players just need someone in their ear motivating them constantly, while others have that personal drive. At this level, you expect the later, but Jeron was the former. It's a shame he didn't have Balis here to be that DI in his ear. I hope and expect Tillery to benefit from this, as I felt he was on the same path as Jaron.
