Any official word on Manny?

[salth2o]

I never heard an official report. Has anyone heard anything?

[SoonerStormchaser]

All I've heard is it's not good...possible season ender.

[CK Sooner]

Stoops said he will most likely play next week.

Where did you hear that?

[salth2o]

Well there are two highly conflicting reports.

My report comes from the mouth of Stoops.

[soonervet]

Said dislocated elbow on ABC.

Post game press conference?

[CK Sooner]

Post game press conference?

Yep

[aurorasooner]

Stoops said he will most likely play next week.Isn't that pretty-much the standard reply from Bob?
I just saw a replay of Manny's injury and I don't know HitH he didn't break his arm or completely dislocate his elbow with torn ligaments.

[CK Sooner]

Yep and probable for next week.

I agree! It looked ugly.

Trust me he didn't break his arm.

Stoop's got his information from the medical staff and I believe him.

[OU-HSV]

It looked really nasty. I thought he broke his arm. But obviously it's not a break or they would've put more than tape on his arm, correct? I'm thinking a dislocation, the way it looked like his elbow kinda popped out of place

Correct.

[OUinFLA]

If BS has to remove his arm with a chainsaw, He'll be working with the lad to catch the ball with his other hand.
and, he'll play next week.

[stoopified]

tHEY'LL JUST RUB SOME DIRT ON THE ELBOW AND HEWILL BE FINE.THAT APPROACH WORKED IN B-BALL LAST YEAR WITH BLAKE. :D

That sounds like standard Stoop's-speak on injuries. He said DM would miss a couple of weeks right after the TT game last year.

[JLEW1818]

Aint gona matter if we have Manny or not, don't get me wrong he is great! all up to the defense


SAM BRADFORD IS THE NEXT PEYTON MANNING

[CK Sooner]

Chaney is a GREAT replacement if he somehow can't go next week.

[sooner59]

If its a dislocation, then it won't be "that" bad as long as nothing is torn. However, I heard it was a hyperextended elbow. If that is in fact the case, no big deal. I had the same things happen to me in a playoff game in high school. I played the next week and it didn't really hurt by then. Either way, hope to see him well enough to be on the field next week. We are good either way with Bradford.

[rainiersooner]

Man - when I saw that replay, I thought it was a career ender: that was horrific. Godspeed, Mr. Johnson!

[Harris County Sooner]

Sooner coach Bob Stoops said it's “probably likely” that Johnson could play next Saturday at Kansas State, but others in the OU camp said Johnson's injury appeared to be a dislocated elbow and he might be out longer.

Stoops is probably likely correct.

[1890MilesToNorman]

If he plays next week the man is made of the same stuff as Gumby, it looked horrible on the replay.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Simply by the looks of the injury, I would put some money on him not playing next week.

[Okla-homey]

here's the AP story:

[kevpks]

Just because he can play next week, it doesn't mean he should or will. I am glad the injury is not serious but I would rather have him sit out a week to be 100% for the rest of the year. If we need him to beat KSU we have problems.

[ousooners182]

Carey Murdock from rivals who talks to stoops said that he told him

They are terming it a sprained elbow, not a dislocation. They think he could return next week so we'll see how he progresses.

yay

[StoopTroup]

This ESPNU link has a clip which shows manny's injury...

Pretty awful...

[OUmillenium]

I doubt he plays more than a couple plays next week.

That looked nasty.

If it really was just a dislocation and no breaks, yeah he would be fine. But looked worse.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

It is only a flesh wound. Nothing serious...;)
