Man, hope Dixon, Powell, Bailey, Rainey are back in 2 weeks

[SBP]

This was really an unexpected blow. I wonder how bad injuries are.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

I expect at least three of them back... which three, I don't know.

IMO my ranking of most needed back (so a combo of ability and, importantly, our depth at the spot):
1) Powell
2) Bailey
3) Flip
4) Rainey

 

[DJ Spanky]

Dixon played yesterday.

I can't wait to see our Defense at full strength.

Dixon played yesterday.

Spanky's right, you guys can cross Dixon off the list, #10 was out there for limited snaps.
Powell has been warming up each week and in pads
Rainey no idea
Bailey I would worry about, he was in street clothes but walking fine so no idea WTF happened to him in practice.

You mean,THE FULLY OPERATIONAL DEATH STAR?

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. 😊

Powell coming back will be huge.
We could use Bailey too.

 

[RutgersK1d]

Bailey and Powell are essential to our D.

Some hope….The NJ.com beat writers seemed to think that both Powell and Bailey would be available but don’t know for sure.

Available and playing have been two different things so far. Bailey in street clothes makes one think he may be available but won't play. Powell in uniform and warming up offers some hope. Dixon on the field for limited snaps is higher hopes.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them are back.

 

[RU#1fan]

I wouldn’t be surprised if all of them are back.

Would make a big difference in this game.

Do we have any “inside info” on Powell and Bailey ?

No. No we don’t, Virginia Tech scout.

Not necessarily. Different types of injuries have different medical protocols associated with them. Some things (like concussion protocol as a random example) are more black and white than others - when your cleared your cleared without restriction.

Without those guys back it will be very difficult to beat USC and Nebraska .

 

[Bagarocks]

Without those guys back it will be very difficult to beat USC and Nebraska .

right now they look to be the toughest games of the season.
Nebraska Illinois game will be the coming our party for one of them.
they got 4 home games to start the season. Nice way to start out a Freshman QB.

If all 3 or any of them know they are playing they still will be listed as doubtful/questionable until tech takes the field on O Saturday
