Injury Updates on Sully, Dunker, Vander Zee

Well it was a concussion which are hard to predict. And the days are gone back when Adam Robinson got concussed as well as others when they did not get all the treatment and time needed. And maybe a little stay on the side of caution.

But I trust the medical staff and Cade has 10+ days to finish healing.
they bye week came at a good time to get guys healed up
 
Looks like the bye week helped out on the injury front.

McNamara, Higgins, Lachey, Ostrenga, Gill, Stephens & Sharar are all on the depth chart.

Vander Zee & Nestor are not.

The full 8 paragraphs of the tweet:

Matt Weitzel, Associate AD for Strategic Communications, provides further information on Cade McNamara and Jermari Harris not playing at Maryland, and saying the hope is both play against Nebraska:

"Cade McNamara has not been cleared to play against Maryland. His status was a topic of discussion during Tuesday’s weekly news conference. In reviewing the transcript and the Q & A, Coach Ferentz misstated that Cade had been cleared to play. He had been cleared to practice.

Q. Cade being back at the top of the depth chart, has he been cleared, and if so --

KIRK FERENTZ: Yeah, I wrote that on Sunday. He practiced Sunday. Everything is cloudy right now. That's kind of our forecast. It clearly is cloudy right now. Everything is. We'll just take it day by day and see who can go.

Q. I wanted to get some clarity with Cade. You said he practiced Sunday. Did he have a setback or is he still in that process of coming back?

KIRK FERENTZ: Still processing back. He has been cleared to play, and whether or not he can play effectively or not, we'll see. We'll just see how the week goes. But we're prepared for anything, quite frankly.


The second player of interest is Jermari Harris, who will not play in Saturday’s game due to a medical issue.

We hope all of our student-athletes can play next week in our regular season finale at Kinnick Stadium; however, a player’s health and wellbeing are always our top priority."


 
McNamara—concussion suffered on Oct 26 vs Northwestern

Sullivan—ankle injury suffered on Nov 9 at UCLA

Lainez—currently wearing a cast on non-throwing hand (broken thumb) but is cleared to play
It remains to be seen if Marco sticks next year or look for greener pastures, but I give him all the praise in the world for making HIS own decision to suit up and be ready cast and all. We hear often how these kids have nothing to play for, these games are meaningless, Kirk has lost the team, etc.. and here's another guy who could just as easily have said I'm injured, I'll just stand over here, but he's done everything he could to be ready knowing if Stratton got hurt he was the last man standing. Not to mention guys like Jay Higgens , a guy with a bad hamstring, and you'd have to hide his helmet to keep him off the field. Hawks always.....

Kirk recruits good guys with tremendous, 5 star character.
 
Who knows if these 2 are still officially injured but they are definitely still on the team.

See below what KF had to say about Cade.

Will they be around for bowl prep & travel to the bowl game? We'll see.
