Hampton has a stress reaction in his back, similar to what Josh Smith had in his sophomore season. He is “out awhile” per PM.

quote:

Mainieri on Maurice Hampton Jr.'s injury: "I don't think it's going to be anything that will hamper his career going forward in football or even baseball. He may be back before the end of the year is over. For right now, his back is going to need rest and rehabilitation."


Garza strained a muscle in his back on Friday and is hopeful for the weekend @ Ole Miss.

Not good...

That’s not good seeing how we don’t have much depth at Safety

He could easily miss part or all of the football season with this if it’s as bad as Josh’s

Not ideal

Geez can’t even keep football players healthy

This dude hit Jaylen Hurts with a lot more violence to his body than anything baseball can inflict

Wilson Alexander

Paul Mainieri on LSU designated hitter Saul Garza: "We don't know when he's going to be ready... We're keeping our fingers crossed for the weekend, but we just don't know at this particular time."



Nothing on Henry
Hopefully he will be good to go Friday night

There wouldn’t be anything on Henry right now regardless of his health. Once it was announced that he wasn’t in pain saturday they can’t know anything else until he throws again.

I tend to believe this messaging is more of a “hey, baseball isn’t going to see him any time soon” combined with a “I don’t know crap about football” with the absence of anyone clarifying what a “stress reaction” vs. a “stress fracture” is. The latter would be awful depending on what he fractured. But otherwise, sweating is a “stress reaction”

I had a stress reaction/fracture in a lower vertebrae that manifested itself during American Legion baseball after my sophomore year. I think the traumatic injury occurred during a collision my freshman year in football, but was just made worse with the thousands of swings and pitches I threw in the next year and a half. I would take a couple weeks off, feel better and come back, then re-injure it. It took taking several months off and wearing a gay-arse back brace for a while (imagine a fricking corset with metal rods inserted from my waist to mid-back), but it finally went away.

I’m 42 and have never had any problems since, and I finished playing 2 more years of high school ball and Legion, a year of college, and a couple years of adult baseball (thanks, Zealot). My point there is that I was able to put my back through tens of thousands of more reps with no reoccurrence and I was nowhere near the athlete Maurice is. I’m sure Hampton’s body is capable of healing infinitely better than mine, but if he has something like I did, the key is going to be giving it plenty of rest and not pushing it to come back too soon, even if he thinks he feels good enough to try. This sucks, but good luck to him.

I heard today that Hilliard has a tendon problem in his throwing hand. Not anything official, just from another fan.
