Gary's health - anyone know?
October 1st, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
Same injury from last year, and recurred?
October 1st, 2018 at 3:43 PM ^
You'd think that is likely the case.
October 1st, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
Not sure we can afford to rest anyone vs Maryland.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:31 PM ^
Home game. Michigan will be fine.
October 1st, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
Not sure if serious or to what extent, but count me as someone worried about Maryland. They play damn well on the road. They punched Texas in the face the second year in a row, this time down in Texas.
October 1st, 2018 at 9:44 PM ^
lol what the hell? They played at baltimore's stadium so it was a home game practically..
Also texas looked like total trash the first game just like we did..
October 2nd, 2018 at 3:59 AM ^
They didn't "punch Texas in the mouth." It was a statistically even game and Texas was coming back before a lengthy weather delay. UT then went and beat Tulsa by a single touchdown in Week 2. They were clearly mediocre to start the season and have improved rapidly.

Our resident MgoDocs probably know best, but it looked like he came out of the locker room with a DonJoy shoulder stabilizer brace. I noticed because my daughter wore the same thing.
If that's the case it could be a labrum issue. We obviously won't know until the pre-draft activities.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:21 PM ^
A labrum tear is something you can either surgically repair or not -- if you choose not to surgically repair it, the likelihood of re-dislocating can be high. But if you surgically repair, there is a period of rehab. Maybe something for Gary to do in the offseason, especially if he goes pro.
October 1st, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
I think labrum is a very good possibility. I tore my labrum and did not have surgery to repair it for 2 months. I was fine 95% of the time between the injury and surgery - but certain specific motions would really really hurt. I could grab and pull, push straight out, but pushing up with arms outstretched would bring me to my knees. I hope for him that is not what it is. Post-surgery PT is harder than the injury or surgery.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:17 PM ^
Is Hutchinson dinged up as well and I missed it? Sorry to be "that" guy if this has been covered extensively.
October 1st, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
Good question. Kids looked good thus far and filled in just fine when Gary went out against Nebraska.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
Tore my rotator cuff one year in early October and didn’t have surgery until mid-December. The pain between early October and mid-December was significant and my range of motion was somewhat limited, but it was tolerable. The rehab lasted about a year and was much tougher than the surgery. There was no way that I would’ve been able to play football during the following season.
Now, this happened when I was getting close to 70 years old and wasn’t playing D-1 college football or expected to be among the top draft choices in the next year’s NFL Draft. So, I have no idea what Rashan Gary must be going through with his shoulder injury, but if his range of motion is limited, then I can appreciate why he might not be playing up to his expected standards. Just hope that he’ll be okay.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:20 PM ^
I heard from a reliable source that he has a boo boo
October 1st, 2018 at 3:32 PM ^
Clap. Clap.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
"Clap. Clap."
Needs double Penicillin then.
October 1st, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Nope.
October 1st, 2018 at 4:26 PM ^
i've had many types of football/sports injuries (concussions, broken bones, knee injuries, hip pointers, turf toe, several surgeries, etc) but shoulder injuries are the worst I've ever had to deal with (had two "frozen shoulders" at the same time)...6 months of pain, agony and little to no sleep...and three years later, still don't have full range of motion yet.
so my heart goes out to anyone dealing w/a shoulder issue ...evolution could/should have treated us better with regard to the assembly of the human shoulder
October 1st, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
Had surgery for frozen shoulder about 8 years ago. Pain was turrible.
October 1st, 2018 at 4:31 PM ^
It's the two 325 lb linemen yanking on his arm as he tries to get to the QB WITH NO HOLDING FLAG injury. Common at Michigan.
October 1st, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
While we are talking wild speculation, wasn't Tarik Black supposed to get examined by a doctor yesterday? Any info? UMBig11?
October 1st, 2018 at 5:43 PM ^
IIRC Harbaugh said the doc would be in town when the Lions play Green Bay and that's the upcoming weekend.
October 1st, 2018 at 5:36 PM ^
Can we let this guy sit for Maryland and Rutgers please? Let him chill in New Jersey relax and rest. No point in injuring him worse for big games and gives young pups reps
October 1st, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
Probably labrum. That's the type of thing you can "get by" with but will limit explosiveness. Is this the same shoulder as last year? Wonder if they considered fixing in offseason. Either way, not sure he's been 100% for a long time and based on they performance by Uche, Paye and others, not sure he's a must play next several weeks.
October 1st, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
If it is labrum, that’s nearly a full year rehab, at least that’s what I’ve been told. I have a friend with both of his labrums torn (he’s a power lifter) and his doc told him he can either live with it or get them surgically repaired, which takes a year each.
Edit: I’ll add that this insivodual is Gary’s size and played football. He’s 6’5 295
October 2nd, 2018 at 12:54 AM ^
I had minor Labrom sprain in both shoulders trying to max my bench press in my mid 30s, I had increased it from 250 lbs to 300 lbs. My shoulder still hurts 20 years later and my bench is 50 percent less but doing some shoulder exercises helps you manage the pain. Though at night sleeping on your side really bugs your shoulders.
October 2nd, 2018 at 12:56 AM ^
I wonder if moving Gary from DE to DT will help? There is so much arm movement at DE.
October 2nd, 2018 at 4:01 AM ^
In this thread I learned that there are an alarming number of fans who are inexplicably worried about Michigan playing Maryland at home. Jesus Christ.
October 2nd, 2018 at 9:28 AM ^
I simply wouldn't not expect them to be a pushover. This isn't NE, IL, Rutgers. This is a legit Big Ten game.
