Injury Report: JP Estrella is doubtful vs. Oklahoma

WTF happened? Has his best game and finally getting minutes and now hurt.

Get some rest and get ready for Vandy

Don't know exactly. Trying to figure that out.

Great

Had to be a practice injury. Poor guy cannot stay healthy even with the good weight he has added.

Noted this earlier on the board, but J.P. was a limited participant in practice Tuesday. He worked on his lower body with Garrett Medenwald on the side and did not take part in 5-on-5 segments.

Ugh. He just can’t stay healthy. Hopefully good to go for Saturday. Ceiling is a lot lower without a 100% healthy JP

Well this is less than ideal ……

and Oklahoma is coming in red hot

Will always be what keeps him from taking that next step. He's made of glass.

This really hurts. We need Boz to score double digits. Jakobie and Ament need 20 a piece.

Hopefully he can go on Saturday!

He better if we have any hope of winning in Memorial. I fully believe we need him badly against a team like Vanderbilt

Yes, in case Okpara or Brown get into foul trouble.

Is it me or do we seem to have injuries during practices, not games ? Seems like this is at least the 3rd or 4th time someone has come up on the injury report after playing with no issues the previous game.

We must run football drills in practice. I've never seen so many practice injuries. Pretty sure 3-4 guys have had shoulder injuries the past couple of years. Now a lower body injury. I sure hope it's not long term or serious.

It’s almost a given when we ‘struggle’ to win like against LSU and coaches think they out toughed us, that we get someone hurt in practice before the next game. Sounds like Rick puts them through an overly physical practice to make the tougher for the next game.

Are we sure his name isn’t A.D. Estrella? He’s in street clothes an awful lot

It definitely seems that way. You can't argue with Barnes ability to get them tough. I just hope he leaves them some legs (and shoulders) for March.

This is so unfair. He broke a bone in his foot and tried to play. This year he is pushing himself to be a starter. He will start here two more years. Leave him alone.
