Good news on Blye Hill injury

[vailhusker]

If he dislocated his knee he’s out a lot longer than 4-6 weeks. Maybe it was his patella

Rhule said they both had patellar tendon injuries in their right legs.

On Bell....Trust your eyes and ears, guys. Here's what we saw and heard. (to my knowledge)

1: He went down and immediately grabbed his knee and was looking to the sidelines for help.
2: He needed 7-8 minutes of attention on the side and the game was stopped.
3 He left on a cart.
4: He wasn't seen later.
5: The coach who is better off minimizing or down playing things right now went as far as to say it was a "significant" knee injury.

Do not wait for good news here. I can't remember a time when all that happened and the guy was back a few weeks later. That dude is injured injured. Rhule didn't even go with the "We're waiting for tests".

Whereas Hill's injury was described as "semi" significant and he was seen on the sidelines later on crutches. Again, not good but obviously not as bad as Bell.

Quite honestly, we seemed to have a really lucky Spring in terms of injuries despite those two. (Knock on wood)

Bell stood up to walk with support and immediately crumpled to the ground. His knee is fucked and it'll be lucky if he's back next spring

Doing a little Google research sounds like Hill may have a patellar tendon strain or small rip which will require up to 6 weeks in a brace. Bell may have a patellar tendon tear that reguires surgery which requires around 9 months before returning to sport/practice according to this article -

God struck down Demetrius for creating a blemish on Dylan’s otherwise stellar statline.

I would think a grass field will be here by fall.

Sounds good but I don't have access. If anybody wants to give us the cliff version.

"Both players underwent surgery this past seek."

Not sure if Sip is trying to say a Sikh did the surgery or they had surgery this past week.


Blye could be back by the season but it's still months

Nebraska cornerback Blye Hill will likely return in time to see action in 2024, Matt Rhule says

Rhule on Saturday told HuskerOnline that Hill, who had an inside track to be a starting cornerback to begin the 2024 season, likely will return to action sometime during the coming fall. On the other hand, Bell, a speedy redshirt freshman wide receiver, will miss the entire season, Rhule said.

Both players underwent surgery this past seek.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Hill, a native of Baltimore, played one season for Saint Francis before transferring to Nebraska. He made a rapid ascension up the depth chart during spring practice before going down with a knee injury in the second quarter of last week’s spring game.

“Blye’s injury will take him into the season — he’ll miss some time in the season — but he has a chance to be back,” Rhule said Saturday during a break in a youth football camp in Omaha.

Rhule said Hill has a four- to five-month injury, meaning September could be a legitimate target period for Hill’s return to action. Nebraska opens the season August 31 against UTEP before playing heated rival Colorado the next week.

Blye Hill benefits from parents’ background, Rhule says
Hill has made a very strong impression on his coaches and teammates.

“I think he’s got the right brain,” Rhule said Saturday. “His father played in the NFL, his mother was an athlete. He comes from a great family. He was a little under recruited going to a smaller school, but you saw all the traits.

“A lot of guys come in with traits. They’re big, they’re fast, they can run but they’re just not mature enough to handle the coaching. He’s very, very mature, which is a credit to his family.”

Yet another thing to appreciate about Rhule is how straightforward he is with injury news.

Wait and see I guess if they decide to go to the portal for another CB. If they can find a good one they would have a good chance to start or at least get some good playing time.

My understanding is patella injuries aren't turf related.
