Football Tyreem Powell likely OUT for remainder of the season
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
That is a huge loss, he has had a great season.
Best of luck to TP in his recovery. He was a baller this year.

Terrible news. I thought overall he was probably the best defender thus far this season. Good luck to him.
Huge loss. He was having an All American type season.
Hard to think of a guy that would be a bigger loss for us on the entire team/any unit. Brutal. Anyway get better soon Tyreem.
Awful loss. One of, if not the best, player on our defense. Need the LBs to step up.
That sucks for him and the team- what a great year he has been having. The little silver lining for him is that it is a hand and not something major like a knee/ankle etc...
Tough player to replace as he is having an All B1G type season

Unfortunately the next man up ( Wright-Collins) is disqualified for 1st half against OSU due to that targeting call. 3rd man-up
I was bracing for this and hoping it would not be true. Seemed like he landed awkwardly when the Indiana OL essentially tackled him (hand on Powells back throwing him down). Of course the Big Ten refs didn't throw a flag.

have you watched the RU games and personnel? he Plays LB ( in place of Powell and Jennings) and Rush DE, he would be the first replacement for Powell at LB.
If it isn't Moses then it has to be Jamier Wright-Collins, Tim Hinspeter, or Daniel Djabome.
Shame is that it could have been Anthony Johnson, Austin Dean, or Khari Banton.
Was hoping it was something he could play with and get taken care of at the end of the season. Sucks. He's our best defensive player, future NFL guy.
No never watched a Rutgers game in my life. Maybe I can see this OSU match-up next weekend. Fingers crossed.
According to my niece ( nurse) who worked with a top NJ hand and wrist surgeon it would be a normal to be out 4 weeks more like 6 but if we played ( bowl game) in late December he possibly could play with a brace/ soft protective cast.Tough break for Powell . Could be cardio ready but would miss the weight room except legs .
Or maybe Kenny Fletcher or Jordan Thompson taking over Toure's spot with Toure sliding over into Powell's spot.
We have several good options. Good teams must prepare those next man up players for scenarios like this.
Depends what the surgery is and how much rehab will be needed. If he was a lineman or something he could probably come back earlier but a LB is going to have to use his hands a lot more.
Toure has actually been pretty good in coverage this year as well.
At his position 4-6 weeks would work as they could use several of the newer light weight braces which would protect the healing bones . Pins ….probably 4 weeks. Rehab can start at around 6 weeks… so a late December Bowl game might be possible or they could figure call it done and hope for another solid season from Tyreem.played great football in the middle…time for Toure , maybe Djbome, Fletcher is my choice.
Wright-Collins misses first half of Ohio St due to 2nd half targeting call on him in Indiana game. I think we shift to full time 5-2-4 with Fletcher / Thompson seeing more reps at 5 and Collins-Wright, Hinspeter and Walker providing relief of 2 - Jennings and Toure, or maybe 4-2-5 where Igbunoson comes down a level for run support.
