BigWhiskey91 632 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 PBarber posted a pic on Twitter with brad Lester, nick Ruffin and Carl Lawson. Lawson wasn't on crutches and looked like he was wearing work out gear. Just waiting on medical clearance now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 5,448 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 ^several more weeks at least with smart money on not back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 14,867 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 The best sources (which are a long way from official) have said that Lawson won't be playing again this year. I know nothing myself, but people that have been correct in the past do not expect him to be back before Spring practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,521 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Any insight on what the actual injury is? People keep saying hip flexor but that's the same thing as saying "leg". It's a body part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegle777 63 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I believe that picture was from before the season. I've seen Brad post it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWhiskey91 632 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I figured that would have to have been preseason. But I've heard the same that it would be highly unlikely. Sorry for the false alarm if this was a preseason pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hip fracture is the most common unofficial word I've seen. Thanks. Either CL is super unlucky or the guy is injury prone Cadillac also had some unlucky injuries his first 2 years, lets hope Lawson comes back and finishes his career off in the same fashion Caddy did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuGrad2004 100 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Heard a fracture in hip joint. Best case = back by TaM / Worst case = Career over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbooger 0 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 That was from preseason, Those went to Georgia to workout with Brad, and took a picture after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Heard a fracture in hip joint. Best case = back by TaM / Worst case = Career over Made me think about Bo Jackson and the hip dislocation that essentially ended his career. Medical treatment has come a long way since Bo's day....but the risk is always there I guess. Hoping for the best with Lawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 3,740 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Bo also had an rare type of dislocation that also caused an issue with lack of blood supply to the hip, which, as I understand it, "killed" the bone (for lack of any nuanced understanding). The resulting issues with the "dead" bone, not the dislocation, are what caused him to have the hip replacement. In other words, if Lawson has a fracture, his injury is nothing like Bo's.

Pretty much it in a nut shell. If Bo had the same injury today he'd be back the next season....maybe before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not equating the two....just pointing out that weird things can happen on a football field in the way of injuries....and some are not repairable.

passthebiscuits 5,448 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Pump the brakes. Nobody has suggested his career is over. He does NOT have avascular necrosis that ended Bos nfl career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does NOT have avascular necrosis that ended Bos nfl career. was not implying anything except that hip injuries other than hip pointers are unusual...less than 5% of all injuries according to 2 year survey some time ago.

AuTigersX311 2 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 what does this do to his playing eligibilty? I noticed during the UL game that he was listed as a junior. Did he not take a medical redshirt last year? what is his status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,638 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 think we'll lock this down since it was determined to be a pre-season picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
