I suspect Byers probably got clued into some accurate info off the the record, where the ground rules are this stuff should not be disclosed. I think Cael walked it back to provide cover. Weither it be HIPPA or other reasons, Cael has never been open with medical details.
We all saw the video and could see RBY put some pretty good torsional stress on that knee. A sprained ligament certainly isn't out of the question, and those injuries tend take the timeframe that Byers indicated to heal.
I would love to see RBY tonight but am not counting on it. I could see Cael rolling the dice and keeping both RBY and Shak out even if they are ''good enough' to go. At 90% they both are likely to lose anyway. What is RBY without his most potent weapons - speed and athleticism?
Agreed, imagine if RBY finds the weight room this offseason while walking around campus? Might no longer Be Noodle arms 2.0
