Fairley's Foot Surgery

Obviously, it’s not what you want to happen. However, PERHAPS, this could be a good thing. It’s quite possible that Fairley just got something minor fixed, will rehab and learn from the guys, and will get back in there as soon as he can while learning the game. The BIG benefit I see that could come from this is it could really increase his hunger for wanting to be out there even more. And once he gets that opportunity, it will pay off.

I would have been really upset if it was a lisfranc fracture. He will be out three or four weeks then it will take him a week or two to regain his conditioning. He will be delayed a bit but in the end I don’t think it will be a big deal in the Ws and Ls.

That losing our number 1 pick in this way doesnt make me think the season is over… means we are getting better

not a great thing but he looked to be in pretty good shape coming in which was a concern of mine. that said, i was looking forward to seeing him competing for a starting job up to game 1. unfortunately this is a big set back for him but, like you said, our D-line interior looks pretty good firing on 3 cylinders instead of 4. This could help SLH get more reps.

That he will learn the playbook completely. I’m hoping that Nick and Gun will be glued at the hip. Plus it’s not like he can’t do anything, there’s nothing to stop him from working on his upper body right?

…. Sounds like he’ll be good for most of the season.

As long as he comes back ready… no rush.

They said it wasn’t lis-franc, but they refuse to talk about what it WAS. The secrecy behind this seems to have an ominous tone to it. If they operated, they know what the problem is. If they would disclose that, it would take alot of the worry out of me!
