Davis injury?

Broken hand is what I’ve seen elsewhere.
I believe it. He ran off the the field today cradling his hand and motioning to it with the other. At least that's what it looked like at the game. The televised broadcast may have added more.
I was worried about how he braced his arm when running off the field and let his hand and wrist dangle. But once the trainer went to testing on his wrist and hand he didn't seem to wince at all. Not once. I'm guessing he'll be fine.
I hope not. That can also have varying degrees of bad, but if it's broken broken that's not good at all.
This is what happens when you dick around with these scrub teams and have to leave your starters in late in the game to seal it.
Let me do the honors: His hand is’nt broken.
Hope that clears things up for you.
The 27 bones that make up his hand do not have any cracks in them
Where did you see this? If so , pretty bush to be putting shit out that has not been confirmed. Starting rumors on the web is not going to make you popular.
Multiple people posted it including media members online. I didn't start anything. I simply shared what others were posting. It was a legitimate concern and believable based on what happened in the game. It's social media and a message board so people are going to speculate and put out information. Some will be confirmed true. Others won't be.
The message board is full of rumors yet this is the one that gets you this upset. This "rumor" seems relatively tame compared to most.
Pretty difficult to reconcile these three posts, but JR knows what he is talking about.
He definitely does and I am happy to hear that it wasn't a broken hand.
So now, football injuries are Stoops' fault. Our coach should know better than to use a player on a snap when he will get injured. Wonder what Ray Davis thinks about that theory.
When I watched the replay next day, looked like they were working on his wrist.
Pretty surprised prior to the coen situation there wasnt more fan concern. Davis is a major, major piece of our puzzle.

Yes it looked like his wrist through my binoculars. JR says it isn't broken. Davis will walk over a bed of hot coals to play against Vandy. Doesn't concern me if he does or doesn't play against Akron.
Here you go again. Stoops has done this since he’s been here with these cupcake games. His teams go into these games with the mindset of not embarrassing them and the games are much closer than they should be. This results in us having to play starters late in the game to seal it, further risking injury. Plus it’s stupid to not get out to a big lead and actually get your reserves some minutes. Ever notice how we never have a back up quarterback ready to go?
I think it's entirely possible that Stoops and Co. are trying to get their brand new QB, RB, retooled OLine, and new-to-the-system WRs reps in Coen's system. I'm not convinced that we'd send in the twos even if we were up by 45 because of how many mental mistakes we're making.
To your point of not having backups play, we've been blessed with steady competence and stability in defensive coaches. Not so for offense. Eliot, House, and White vs. Brown, Dawson, Gran/Hinshaw, Coen, Scan, and Coen.
I'd call two of the three D Coords stellar. I'd consider two O Coords competent and one really good. You go from air raid disciple, to incompetence, to good but lost the plot, to great-ish, to absolutely abyssal, and then back to the best of the bunch. We need a good OC that's going to commit to UK for at least a couple years. I think Coen is the guy, but who knows? We haven't been able to put enough points on the board to "safely" send in the second team. I think it's because of both personnel and playbook, and I think Coen can get us there. Playing the younger guys and getting them tape will pay dividends down the road for the program.
Also, I don't know if you watch the breakdowns by Van Hiles, but a lot of the reasons (not all, mind you) we've been in games that are closer than they should be is a lot on newness and players being greedy or undisciplined.
One is fixed with in-game reps. The others are fixed with a steady dose of up-downs, stadium steps, suicides, burpees, and all other manner of everyone's favorite pastime: conditioning.
Would actually love to see what Jefferson is capable of with extended reps.
I think he had 3 carries last week for 28 yards?... going by memory... I think they are easing him into more carries.
Duly noted and thank you for the correction. I should think more clearly before posting.
Da
Davis had 15 touches. Do you really think that is excessive when you are trying to mesh a new RB 1 with a new QB1 with a retooled OL and a new OC?
Well if you playing down to your comp and the starters have to play every single snap with no rest yes the risks of injuries increase but you can be hurt on play number 1 or in practice, hell you can fall down the steps at school and hurt your knee. Stuff happens.
However we are probably the worst team ever at getting any kind of rest for our main players because we never get a big enough lead.

Again, he had 15 touches (12 run, 3 pass). Is that really too many? Not even sure that is enough to get a running back in peak game shape. So what is the plan? Limit him to 6 touches? What about 8?
I thought Jefferson looked pretty good in limited duty. Hope Davis is good to go
Not 100% sure but I thought Stoops mentioned in post game that they were just getting Eli a few reps in game in CASE OF AN INJURY.
At the end of a game where it's already decided, yes. No reason to risk injury there. What is a couple more carries? Is it worth Davis breaking his wrist and missing most of the season?
