Injury Updates: Pieper & Winter are fine. LJ Phillips in a walking boot
- Thread starter Franisdaman

Thanks for the update. Kid has real upside.
kid seems to have a ton of potential. Hoping the boot is precautionary.
Good that he was at least walking. Should mean nothing broken.
And no crutches. Was hanging out and walking around postgame.
Betting Phillips won't be back until at least Michigan. Absolutely kills the 1-2 punch we wanted to have with him and Moulton. McNeil and Williams looked not good.
I think in the second half NIU made a real effort to close up those gaps by sending help, and we passed more. Plus we were missing most of our interior OL. We were playing third string OL ln the 4Q. Both Williams and McNeal played pretty well last season, so i'm not putting a lot on this game adding in all of that.
High ankle sprain is the preliminary diagnosis. He is very upset, but is hopeful he’ll be back quickly.
I thought Jackson looked incredibly quick and fast. I think X Williams is very good as well.
do not high ankle sprians take a month or even two months to heal? I'm no doctor, but I thought those are fairly severe/lingering injuries.
somebody needs to step up big-timein the running back room.

those injuries are not good, but therapy is better now
He sure did… he needs more playing time he’s got some serious speed and great cutbacks…
I think McNeil immediately moves down the depth chart, with #22 moving up to RB2. His called-back TD run was very impressive.
yeah that called back TD run made me sit up and wonder who the heck is this #22. if the TD had held up it would've been just as impressive as moulton's long score
I keep waiting to see all the hype around McNeil come to fruition.
Dances in the hole too much, doesn’t have great speed. May work in HS doesn’t translate to BIG level Of football.
Reminded me of a younger version of Bills/Seahawks legend Fred Jackson. Same number even!
isn’t he Fred Jackson’s son?
It isn’t official yet, just preliminary. We will know more in the next day or two.
McNeil and X. Williams appear to need huge holes to get yards. Moulton runs hard, has the Akrum Wadley wiggle, and now some break-away speed??
Stay healthy, bro.
It helps. The two big runs that Moultan had , you could have driven an 18 wheeler through the hole at the line of scrimmage.

That's a shame for Phillips. Hope he's back ASAP. He'll be a good one. Just needs more reps. Excellent complement to Moulton.
I see Jeremiah love is back for the cardinals, 4 weeks after a high ankle sprain. Here’s to Phillips recovering just as quickly.
Moulton is no Akrum Wadley, but he's a good one. Wadley is one of the best RBs ever to wear the black and gold. Man, I loved watching that kid play. That he never made it in the NFL will always be one of the great mysteries. But I'll never forget his fantastic performances for the Hawkeyes.
Wadley would have been broken in half in the NFL.
And then he became a huge d-bag with the whole ripping people off fiasco.
Get OUTTA HERE with your “one of the best RBs ever…etc” statement.
High ankle sprains seem very unpredictable. I think it depends on the severity.
To Me Betts was a very underappreciated RB , What He was able to do behind some of the youngest and most unprepared OLs in Iowa history was phenomenal , Nelson and Steinbach and later Gallery from the 1999 Team were thrown right into the furnace as true Freshman
So if Hank starts which I assume he will and we are in a rhythm with him does he stay in or we doing similar to last Saturday? I would like to see Hank get the 1st half and see where we are at score wise.LJ Phillips is out....

Agree. If he's rolling and so is the team, let's wait until UNI to give a heck about giving another QB some reps. Unless the game is comfortably in hand.
1st team WR, or are you talking about punt returner? probably be James at this point.
If the 2 QBs are still truly even, does Heck get the first couple of series (ie, the reverse of what happened last Saturday)?
