The way he was limping it looked like an ankle injury.

Per Gerry... After game on crutches, no boot.  So injury may be knee.  Hopefully not too bad...  

Get healthy JB 🤘

It's all speculative right now, but I just don't think it's a knee.  They said he was crawling off the field on his hands and knees.  Seems like an odd thing to do if you just injured your knee.

To me it looks like he might have played his last down for us.  Which really sucks.

This. I can’t imagine he’s back for the next 2 (or 3) games and no way he will play in the bowl unless it’s CFP maybe. 

My guess is ankle injury that keeps him out until the big xii champ game. Baxter, Blue, Robinson should be enough to get us there.

It's as if you haven't seen the last three games

Watching the replay it’s hard to point where the injury of it was the dickhead twisting. Or if it was a freak pop 

It's the knee and MRI is scheduled for tomorrow

I have. Baxter and Blue are good enough to fill in. It isn't like we are scrapping because Brooks goes beast mode or something.

Not ideal but I think we can win with those guys.

Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Based on how I watched the lower leg shift after he sat up on the replay I’m guessing knee. 

Based on how he reacted, and watching the replay, especially how it behaved on the twist, I think he popped and tore his ACL when it hit/twisted on the ground, before the roll over and twist from the TCU guy. 

 

And as someone that tore an ACL and kept playing for a few weeks, crawling around to try to get off the field is exactly how you would react.

If it’s a knee he’s probably coming back unless he wants to go rounds 3-6, not many teams will take a RB in rounds 1-2 that can’t do the combine.  Come back and build the draft stock back up and get a big increase in NIL.  🤷🏻‍♂️

Fuck, I was hoping for an ankle sprain. We gonna need him for the home stretch.

Dirty tackle with malicious intent.

TCU are always a bunch of dirty cunts. I hope the 3 point loss in their losing season stings more than ever. Shit ass program.

He twisted the knee after the tackle. That was dirty.

his long-term financials are what worries me the most.   

With him not starting this year, and not really coming on until 3 games into the year, he wasnt projected to go very high in the draft ( if at all) to start the year....  which means, unless the school reminded him of the NCAA insurance policy recently, there is just a scary small chance he took out the NCAA draft insurance policy against catastrophic injury in the last 6 weeks.

It is an ankle and he will be back for the big 12 championship/CFP

You're blind. He gave it a hard twist at the end.

Objectively real time I think it was fine for a DB trying to stop a guy that had been shitting on you all game. Slow mo as a Texas fan though, arrest that man.

We're not going to agree.

I saw an extra twist at the end but I'm skeptical that it actually contributed to the injury

Yes, I got it. You have terrible judgment.

This i agree with. 

Hopefully, someone will post a replay. It didn’t look that bad to me at the time, but I’d like to see it again. 

Hopefully we’ll get the “inside scoop” on Brooks prior to Monday’s PC. I know tonight is too early, but at least he was hobbling/assisted off the field and not in a cart. Unless he’s >80%, I’d sit him for ISU. Baxter and Blue can be the running game next week.

Hook’em!!!

Brooks was on the precipice of something amazing and I am pissed for him. Damn. All I have to say. 

Furk!!!  This sucks.   Great season so far.  The way he was moving makes me think he’s done for the year.

Watching him walk off to the locker room he didn't look done to me. Hurt, sure, but not done. But who knows ...

Thats my hope. He walked to the locker room at 1mph, but If he tore his ACL, would he have been able to walk at all? He wasn't on crutches walking to the locker room so he was putting some pressure on that knee.

It's a meniscus or ACL tear, most likely.  Just based off the fact he could not put weight on it.

When I tore mine, I had help but walked off.  This was indoor soccer, and none of us idiots knew what to do, so I just iced it and drove myself home after the game.

Walking off or not is a terrible gauge of knee injury severity most of the time. Training staff assessing him in the tent and then letting him walk with weight is a slightly better sign though. 

Ketch seemed to think it was 100% dirty. So it was probably a clean play.

If Sark knew how to put other teams away up by 20, Brooks wouldn't have been in the game that late to get injured.

This was my reaction as well. I can't imagine them letting him walk on it at all, even with help, if they thought something was badly damaged. But I guess we'll know when we know ...

Edited by wood

Just saw some replays. Not malicious. Shit happens. Sucks.

I don't know much of anything about knee injuries.  Juts hope good luck for Brooks.

This shit deal with Brooks really put a damper on the win...even moreso than yet another solid choke attempt.

The guy has been a total stud and hated to see him get hurt like that. Fuck.

Gonna need CJ to step up big time.
