Camerun Peoples

[appstate77]

That's what I feared when they helped him off the field. Reminded me Meadors when he tore his. He was brought off the field the same way.

[Mjohn1988]

Two things that are both true:

1) Cam Peoples brings a size/speed combo that no one else on our roster (and presumably few others at the G5 level) can match.

2) If he’s done for the year, we still have at least three really good running backs.

Not trying to diminish CP’s injury in any way. I was really looking forward to seeing him this year. But folks Evans isn’t a good running back he’s a great running back. He can flat out get it done. He can play every down and change the game in a single play. That said I’m really looking forward to seeing what CP can do.

Torn ACL. Hopefully he recovers quickly

Let's hope Camerun's injury isn't an ACL tear. Recovery from a minor ACL sprain can be a matter of two to four weeks or so.

Sadly, there are no quick recoveries from a torn ACL. Surgical reconstruction is almost always required for a tear. Been there, done that. Twice.

Empirical research has shown reinjury rates to be lower for athletes who returned to their sport specialty at nine (9) months or later. That's down three or four months from the early 2000s. Relatively recent Mayo Clinic research indicates that up to one-third of athletes sustain another tear in the same or opposite knee within two years. A longer recovery period (12+ months) may reduce the risk of reinjury.

A lot depends on the quality of the rehab. We know that Camerun will have first-class care.

Do we have any updates on Victor Johnson or Desmond Franklin? Not taking People’s loss lightly, but having losses on the O-line and DB positions concerns me a bit more, simply due to the depth we currently have at RB.

[BUTCH1991]

At least with it happening in Game 1, it gives him a full year before playing again to recover.

Does any one actually have a reliable source on the ACL tear?

CP is a little bit different and I welcome diversity in types of runners. We have 3 other real good ones so we will be fine but if we lose one more then depth will be hurt. It is just hard to lose a guy that talented so early. Evans is very good but we can't afford to lose 2-3 more like CP or else our chances against teams like UNC and South Carolina go out the window. We need as much of our talent as possible.

Of course not.

Is no news good news?

I don't know, but i would be surprised. Drink just keeps things a little closer to the vest than we have seen previously. If people's gets on the field any more this year, I will be happy. Hope its not as bad as we think, but its hard to see him playing again in the next few weeks.

[EastHallApp]

His IG post pretty strongly suggested an extended absence, if not for the season. I'm going to assume that until I hear otherwise.

Drink definitely isn't the most forthcoming with this type of info, but neither was Satt. Or have we forgotten when he still had Beau Nunn listed as questionable/1st string on the depth chart while he was rolling around the sidelines on a knee scooter?

Peoples is still number 2 on this weeks depth chart?

Drink already announced he's out this week. His social media posts seemed pretty grim so I'm assuming it's something season ending. Really sucks after seeing how much promise he's shown in camp and in spurts last year.

In looking at the game notes that were on the website earlier this week, very little had been updated with information from the ETSU game.

Remember that Beau Nunn was still listed on the depth chart while he was scooting around on one leg.

I could be wrong but I think HIPA laws keep the university from disclosing much about injuries.

I think players sign a waiver of HIPPA.

[BUTCH1991]

ACL tear is now official per Ethan Joyce. Done for the year.

No surprise here. I hate it for Cam, this kid is great on and off the field. I know he wants to remain an asset for this program and I hope he is strong in recovery and continues to lift the team up on the sidelines.
