UL RB Carter out for season after knee injury

[CajunRed]

Very unlucky start. We won...which had no luck involved...but lost Montrel for the year. Bad luck.


Edit...lost Montrel for a while.

Where did you hear for the year???

I heard he is done for the year. Torn ACL, LCL, and part of the meniscus. Surgery is Wednesday!

This is unfortunate! I hope your information is inaccurate, in the event that your right these RB's just need to press on. The little I witnessed last night from Montrel Carter was enough to know this kid had GREAT potential.....I'm very upset right now.

Sorry, Boomer. Mis-type. Edited above to say...for a while.

Update: the Montrel Carter thread is reporting that he is out for the year. That is the definition of BAD LUCK.

The head football coach reported last night that Montrel would undergo & MRI Monday. I would believe that the medical staff wouldn't make an official diagnosis without an MRI to confirm anything until such point as they recieve this information. Does anyone have an official release of medical information, or is this speculation?

That's really bad news. Listen, if Harris or Reed end up having a great season, that would be awesome. Montrel has a little of that special speed and moves from what I have seen. UL hasn't had that type moves in the backfield since B. Mitchell. (yes a QB, but an excellent runner)

Do you think our backfield will be ok without Carter?

If he should be shut down for the year, I would assume that this is a textbook case for a Medical Redshirt. He had like 6 carries before a season ending injury, so I would assume that although terrible news, we probably will have Carter for 4 more years. God, to say I'd be bummed if he were out for the season would be an understatement.

Have MRI results already been released? I thought Coach said that an MRI would be performed on Monday.

That kind of damage can be determined without an MRI.
