Report: De’Gabriel Floyd To Miss 2019 Season

[primal defense]

There are a number of players in the league that have had this. He can be back. He needed a redshirt year anyways.

I don't know enough about De'Gabriel to know if he needed a redshirt year. However, from everyone I read he was going to play this year because of his talent and need.

True freshman LB De’Gabriel Floyd has been sitting out spring practice due to injury, and now per reports he is likely to miss the 2019 season.

I hate that for Floyd. He is one of my preseason favorite players. A big thank you to the Texas A Department for sparing no expense in screening our atheletes for injury prevention. 

If this is the same congenital I am somewhat familiar with, it is a narrowing of the bone structure surrounding the spine cord. Is that correct?

i don’t know what treatment/treatments are available, but surely something is that will yield positive results for his future  as a Longhorn.

Carpe Diem, Gabe!

Hook ‘em!!!

Geeez, why did they even offer him then ? 

Not something the staff could have known prior to him arriving on campus. He played his entire senior year and also played in an AA game and this red flag was never raised.

Chip says he is very distraught and is considering transfering to some place that will let him play.

If what I have read elsewhere is true, chip brown is full of shit. As usual.

Gabe, from what I understand, Austin has a top notch spinal surgeon, if that is required, but don’t do anything until you are comfortable. It is your body and your career. 

There is also Dr. Andrews in Birmingham. (Think that’s his name). You should talk to Peyton Manning. Not the same injury, but he talked to a lot of people & saved his career. 

Chip Brown is generally a drama queen, and plays loosely with the truth.  UT did the right thing. It’s better to give up a few months of football than a lifetime of walking, or even perhaps, breathing on your own. 

Don’t give up on your dreams, just remember, patience is a virtue, particularly at times like this.

Andrews is an extremity guy, the go to guy for pro athletes over time.  I don’t think he does spinal surgery.

Ah, well the fellow in Austin has done wonders for people I know, but they aren’t athletes. Peyton’s injury was neck, definitely spinal. 

There should be options to evaluate.
