Fleck on Taylor injury: "It doesn't seem too bad, which is really good. So, we got really good, positive diagnosis on that.”

He has an injury of indeterminate severity and will be out for an indefinite period.

That reminds me of a football announcer who, when talking about an injured player, said, “He’ll be out indefinitely, maybe longer.” Brilliant!

I thought the backups looked pretty good so if/when DT is back to playing shape the run game should be ok.

I never understand the irritation over speculation about injuries to one of our best players. People are gonna talk about it.

As far as not being treated with ice immediately could be either a) Boobie Miles syndrome ie DT said I’m fine refused treatment or b) icing for injuries has been more controversial in recent years or c) as some speculated cramp although the optics of pulling up and grabbing the back of the mid thigh after a long full effort run seem to better match other hamstring injuries we’ve all witnessed.

If he plays next week then mystery solved, I suppose.

Considering he was standing on the sidelines with his helmet on at one point (pretty sure they showed him on TV) I don't think it is that big of a deal.

We don't even know what the injury is and people have him out for weeks. I mean sure it is expected, but some people look for every sign that the end is nigh.

Like I said we’ll see soon enough.

I disagree with this though. I think we’re fine at RB, if any of them can catch. Maybe, maybe not.

Forgot lower body...

Recurring hammy doesn’t seem great

Taylor is a little injury prone

 

[BTChamp]

After a visit to the medical tent he did NOT go to the tunnel. He was still dressed, no helmet, walking around on the sidelines with nothing on his legs.

Doesn't mean much for the next game but it does mean it wasn't catastrophic.

Wait a minute. He was still dressed but also walking around with nothing on his legs? Maybe only half dressed?

 

[Ope3]

Not that I'm aware of.

I was going off people in this thread saying he looked like he was trying to get back into the NW St game and what Fleck said in post-game.


Do people really think he's out for next week? Man ... bummer!

If I HAD to bet if Taylor will play or not Saturday, I would bet NO. Especially since it's Non-Conference followed with a Bye week.

 

[Eastside Forever]

He'll be fine. It's all good.

I hope he's ready to go. Cal is not a bad team. Gonna need him imo.

I don't think that the Go/No Go decision hinges on the quality of the opponent.

If it's borderline and there's any risk to further injury, I think he'll sit, especially since there is a Bye week on the horizon.

Sure they'll need him for Cal. Being ready for Rutgers is far more important in the grand scheme, IMO.

We're all day to day.

He is very fit...

Unfortunately, some of us more than others.
