Ambry Thomas back on the field!
From his Twitter (and if I was smart enough I'd embed it)
Happy to pronounce I’m back on the field with my guys, thanks for all the prayers and wishes

Glad to hear he is healthy and back. Hope to see him have a great season

Forgive me if this is an ignorant question. I definitely understand that UC is a serious condition, but what is it about football that exacerbates the risk that it could be career threatening?
what is it about the nature of the sport make Ambry more vulnerable?

Here, let me tackle your healthy colon and see how you feel.
August 22nd, 2019 at 10:01 PM ^
I dealt with some pretty bad divertculitis for about 10 years that eventually perforated and I had to have two pieces of my colon removed.
Granted, UC is definitely a far cry from what I had, but I can tell you that you don't appreciate your health until you've experienced an unhealthy gut. EVERYTHING suffers when your bowel is f***ed up. If he's got a really bad ulcer I guess there's a possibility of a perforation from additional stress or pressure, but other than that, there may or may not be a a significant risk of added injury; I don't know. Just the fact that I doubt he can effectively play at a D1 level with an actively inflamed colon.

That's great to hear. Wish the kid the best!

Word on the street is Runyon down injured. Most likely first 4-6 weeks. Hayes will be starting at LT
August 22nd, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
Hayes would not start at LT. Does not make sense. If this were true, you would move your best lineman to LT, and move your best back- up on to the starting line. Most likely Mayfield to LT and Honigford to RT.

It’s not going to play out like you have assumed. Still some moving parts.
August 22nd, 2019 at 10:10 PM ^
So Runyan is injured?
August 22nd, 2019 at 10:45 PM ^
Well, fuck
August 22nd, 2019 at 10:54 PM ^
I am sure if you had the full story you would be saying that more often. Bunch of little things.
August 22nd, 2019 at 11:48 PM ^
Anything major that will linger past October ? I usually like to wait until the first game to get my hopes crushed
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
I say it all the time without the whole story.. lol
August 22nd, 2019 at 11:30 PM ^
damn, injuries always stink but i really hate seeing seniors miss significant time.
hopefully harbaugh and crew have built up necessary depth
August 22nd, 2019 at 7:26 PM ^
Your title reminds me of that Cal radio announcer "the band is on the FIIIEEE-eld."
August 22nd, 2019 at 7:26 PM ^
That is awesome. Amazing recovery to get back to the field so fast. That is all.
August 22nd, 2019 at 11:28 PM ^
Great to hear he's doing well. Glad he's back in the fold. You obviously never hope for injuries to anyone, but it did get our 2nd and 3rd string guys in with the 1's (my best attempt at making lemonade). They've gotten valuable experience they can use moving forward. Hopefully Ambry is back up to full speed in a month or so, and our DBs will be a deeper, more game ready unit.
