Per Peter's mom

[ezsoil]

He is up and around and they are having tests tomorrow...I hope it is not bad and he will be back on the field and ready for the Combine

He done for the year?

 

[Puppychow]

Likely redshirt this year.

 

[shotgunDawg]

Have there been any test done or an MRI yet?

Where are you guys hearing that he's done for the year?

He came out of the tunnel on crutches last night with a brace on his leg. They may have shown this on TV. I just saw it at the game.

I've seen reports on Twitter that it is a MCL tear. Not good, but better than ACL.

I'm kinda surprised people haven't been talking more about how big losing Peters is. To me, this is a very big loss. Am I missing something here?

Devastating loss. Very thin there

We have a few WRs not doing much, we could put them there.**

A torn MCL doesn't even necessarily mean he's gone for the year, depending on how badly it's torn. Recovery anywhere from 1-8 weeks usually. An MCL and only a MCL(no ACL or patellar tendon) is pretty close to best case scenario in terms of a knee tear IMO....

We'll see.

Can’t make that call yet. If he can’t be 100% by Bama, I think you have to though.

I’m going to need to hear Brandon walker’s take on how Peters being injured affects our Ds confidence

 

[Cap'n Geech]

I'm very concerned. This is why it is so difficult to beat Bama in November. Difference in depth exacerbated by injuries. For each injury that State and Bama suffer, the talent gap gets bigger. Saban knows this. That's why he advocated for requiring a Power 5 nonconference game (that he was already playing) and is now advocating for adding a ninth conference game. He knows these additional physical games mean increased injuries for all teams (including Bama), but this plays to his advantage: talent depth.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

that's what I thought when they showed the replay of the way the bottom half of his leg bent at a weird angle when he slid down. looked more like something from an mcl than an acl tear. that hurts our depth if he is out for this next stretch starting SEC play.

Injuries always seem to happen where you are the thinnest. Outside of Simmons, we could probably absorb an injury or 2 along the front 7 and not be hurt too much. And CB is even thinner for us than Safety.
