Ayo Dosunmu: MRI showed no structural damage

[westcoastillini]

can't believe I'm thinking this, let alone typing it up but I have to ask.......Did the Illini actually catch a break on something? it that really possible?

Need to win a min (3) more i believe

If he truly is day to day, I would imagine he will be on the bench for the Rutgers game and back probably within the week

No. If is truly day to day he could play tomorrow.

Did

I am also hopeful it wont be an extended injury, but I'm not sure what slip you were watching, I get not wanting to see replays. It looked bad in real and slow time to me. He slipped, leg then buckled, the twisted oddly outward and underneath him and kinda collapsed. I, along with my also young daughter, immediately thought blown-out ligaments.

SOOOOOOOOOOO-happy that is not the case. absolutely love this kid, everything about him is top shelf.

ditto. My wife who has torn her ACL in both of her knees immediately yelled out “oh no, he blew out his knee. Mine buckled just like that. Oh, that makes me so sad”. It looked like ligament damage to me too.

No. If is truly day to day he could play tomorrow.

It also means it could be a month(See Livers who was day to day).

He has to be able to get through a couple of full contact practices, then see how he is the next day. Thus, day to day.

If he's been a full go in practice, you're right...could be tomorrow.

Other than day to day has anyone heard how Ayo's recovery is coming along? Is he running, jumping, practicing?

They are keeping it pretty quiet, which reading between the lines means he’s not close to me. If he were practicing I think the word would get out. Piper made a comment today that I can’t quote, but he asked Underwood something about Ayo and his response was essentially “He will be back. It wasn’t season ending.” That’s a long ways from a game time decision like he said Saturday. Of course he may be misdirecting the other way too.

We likely won’t know anything for certain until he checks into the game.
