So what is Clifford's injury?
- Thread starter LionsandBear
- Start date
It’s Holiday Inn ExpressI'm no medical doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
My diagnosis says it's a simple hang-nail!
and I heard he needed time to sort out the whole BWI/McAndrew Board debacle.
I didn’t mean to trivialize the tackle, all I meant to say is that it was a textbook tackle, nothing dirty.
When I was 16 a friend took me skeet shooting. With no instruction, no preparation they just handed me two boxes of 12ga loads. I broke a 16/14 on a regulation field. Sounds like a nice afternoon out right? The next day I had a black and blue the size of a cantaloupe on my right shoulder/chest. It took five days of icing/heat before I could lift my arm beyond parallel.
By the way, the work comp claim story is horrible, truly tragic.

I don’t think anyone in here claimed it was a dirty tackle, but being tackled by a 300 pound guy could result in an injury whether it was clean or dirty.
If only we could figure out women!🤷🏽🤷🏼♀️🥴
Well i would actually take advice from some of you on this topic. The others...not so much
Huh, what? Tackle was absolutely clean, but your notion that it was "soft" is absurd. Campbell's entire body-weight came down on Clifford chest-to-chest.
No kidding. Campbell's full body drove Clifford into ground chest-to-chest, plenty of force to flex the bones at the bottom of the rib-cage.
During the first half of the Indiana game, he was dinged up on a 3rd and 1 QB draw. Before the next offensive series, he spent the whole 4 minute TV timeout running/throwing on the sideline trying to get himself right.
But Levi’s had a chance in 2019 and he was decidedly worse than Clifford. Not sure what the staff could have done differently
It’s possible he was hurt on an earlier play and that last tackle just exacerbated the injury.
Coach Tomlin says "We're going to evaluate the injury in the course of our preparations moving forward in the context of what's best for our football team as a unit. The medical staff will confer with the player and the coaching staff and we'll come to an understanding of the situation that we can investigate to determine how future considerations will need to be considered. I don't want to speculate before I have all the information available that can be ascertained. Regardless, the standard is the standard and we'll hold ourselves accountable while seeking to shed some light on the matter at hand."
And that was the old RPO system that does not jive with his skill set. It is no accident he went to where the OC runs a more drop back system that fits him better. And Yurcich runs far fewer RPOs and does it much differently. Levis may have done quite well under Yurcich. Maybe not. We will never know.
I'm going to guess that whatever medical instruments the team or Iowa had in the stadium or probably not enough to give a complete evaluation of the injury. No sense in coach giving anything more than that until they get back home today and he can go get it checked out fully.
CJF also knows that if he discloses SC’s injury without SC’s permission, he chances a violation of Federal law.
Agreed. The staff was much quicker to let Levis in the game than Roberson. I think Levis was much much closer to Clifford than he was to Roberson. It’s just Occam’s razor dude.
HIPPA prevents the release of private health information. CJF has no choice. I don’t know why people don’t understand that.
I am with you on this bison. They know the area of the injury obviously, but will need to get to a real medical facility to fully assess the situation. I assume that will happen back in SC when they return. Maybe we hear from coach during the week along the line or either "SC is a week to week situation" or "SC is gone for the year". I assume same with PJ.
Keep digging bro. You will eventually get to China.
I hope he is not worried about the polls. Just want to win a few more games this year and start building for next year. Going to miss Brisket and Dotson big time.
Spleen is on the left side. I ruptured my playing football.
Of course we're all speculating, but I will just add my own two cents: Sadly, I think that it's pretty damn bad, whatever it is, for him to have absolutely no option of playing in the 2nd half and be in street clothes. It sucks, but I fear it's gonna be a long time before we see him on the field again.
But he got right back on the ladder and finished the job, didn’t he? He didn’t quit and leave the work to be done by someone else, right?
Unofficial news: just passing along, i do not know anything else....
Grandsons friend, Olivia, spoke with the team doctor following the game. Two fractured ribs, possibly play in three weeks.
Please--take your likes away, the only thing I like about this is Sean can recover from his injury.

Have you guys ever made a post in the heat of the moment, out of frustration, that you wish you could take back?
I shouldn't have questioned Clifford's toughness. I know if he could be out there he would. I was frustrated by the fact that it didn't look like anything significant on the surface, we collapsed on Offense without him and we don't know the nature or severity of the injury.
I'm gonna fall back and watch my Birds gets crushed by Carolina now.

Makes a lot of sense as that was the word (fractured ribs) going around on the message boards late last night and early this morning. Just shows how valuable Clifford is to PSU
Makes complete sense that the Penn State team doctor, knowing HIPAA laws and how tight CJF is regarding release of injury updates on players would casually mention to a youngster named "Olivia" the diagnosis and prognosis of the injury to Sean Clifford. Okay.
