UL RB Carter out for season after knee injury

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?

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

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.

This is a lick

Montrel was off to a good start averaging 4.5 yards per carry and his long was only double that so the average is not padded by some long run.

True, but IMO most guys just aren't the same after an injury to the knee like that. This sucks for Montrel!

Well,.......here goes. I just know this one's gonna go over like a turd in the punch bowl at the ex-girlfriend's wedding, but what the hay? I'm not a medical doctor, but having stayed at the Holiday Inn before, just exactly how does anyone figure that much diagnosing without an X-ray or MRI? I'd hazard to to guess one might guess & manipulate to find one, maybe two, but all three without X-rays or MRI? Furthermore, how does anyone get an operating room date on a weekend without dying?

Having a bit of a medical background, I can tell you that a doc could hazard a pretty good guess just by manipulating the knee. As for the OR sched, trust me, cases are sched all the time.

So do you or anyone else have a confirmation of this exam? Like let's say a news release? Or did the old medicine man just make a fire & send up smoke signals? Sorry guys, but the last I read was that Coach Mark Hudspeth said & I quote,"Montrel Carter will have an MRI taken on his knee Monday to determine the extent of the damage to his knee." Unquote. What did I miss that everyone is running around the block about?

I hate to see the kid go down, but I think if Reed and Harris stay healthy, then we will be fine at running back. I thought Reed was the most impressive back last night. He hit the hole hard and the defender even harder.
