I know the writing was on the wall, but here's another confirmation.

I wouldn’t trust the docs. Not a great history of that. These guys are doing long term damage. It’s the dark side of football. Pain is your bodies way of telling you to stop, masking the pain and pushing through isn’t tough, it’s stupid and leads to long term damage. 
 

it’s these guys choice to make, not trying to morality away football. But it doesn’t help to lie to ourselves about reality either.

Any word on if Edwards is playing with a cast?  I would say that the level of impairment posed by the cast depends on the player and position but given Edwards's amazing catching abilities, it would be great if he didn't need the cast.

Amazing to think what a complete change in this team’s culture has occurred over the past few years.  From the dark days of 2018-2020 when players decided not to play in order to preserve their draft status to today, when players are apparently suiting up and playing with significant injuries.

This is a reflection of the commitment to “our culturing them” referenced in the Biff Poggie article in the Athletic.

Go Blue forever and beat Ohio.

Let’s hope nothing is significant and just minor. Significant means no juking while minor means it hurts. I’ve rewatched Blakes hit and for the life of me can’t decipher what happened to what. I’m hoping it was the equivalent of banging your shin on a trailer hitch, where it hurts like hell but it’s nothing debilitating.

Was wondering if Corum might have been feeling a bit of patellar tendonitis and then got a helmet right on the tendon.  I've bumped my knee while experiencing that tendonitis and it made me see white and almost piss myself from the pain.  One of the only reasons I could come up with that the staff would allow him to test it again without an MRI first.
