While we should never want to see an injury to our guys or those on other teams, Ohio State QB Sayin left the game today with a shoulder injury with about 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

We play tOSU on November 7.

If it is a pinched nerve, he should be good to go by tomorrow. The other possibilities would might keep him out of the game against us.

When a quarterback leaves a game holding a limp, dangling, or heavily supported arm (often cradling the elbow or forearm in a sling or jersey position), it typically points to a significant structural shoulder injury. The recovery timeline depends heavily on the specific diagnosis and severity:

Common Shoulder Injuries and Timelines

• AC Joint Sprain (Shoulder Separation):

  • Grade 1 (Mild): About 1 to 2 weeks of recovery.

  • Grade 2 (Moderate): About 2 to 4 weeks.

  • Grade 3 (Severe): Can take 6 to 12 weeks or longer, and may require surgery if the stability is severely compromised.

• Shoulder Dislocation or Subluxation:

  • Conservative (No Surgery): Typically takes about 6 weeks to return once strength and range of motion are restored, though rushing back carries a high risk of re-injury.

  • Surgical Repair: Requires 5 to 6 months of rehabilitation before returning to contact sports like football.

• Labral Tear or Rotator Cuff Strain/Tear:

  • Minor strains: 2 to 4 weeks of rest and rehab.

  • Severe tears or surgical intervention: Can sideline a player for several months to a full season.

Ryan Day said he'll be out several weeks.

Ryan Day stated postgame that he did not have all the details yet, but that Sayin would "probably be out several weeks". Day likely didn't have a full diagnosis.

With Sayin's injury today, there are now 6 starting QBs in the Big Ten who are out with injuries.

Along with starters who aren't meeting expectations, it is something every reserve QB should think about before flirting with the portal.

Clearly the SEC has a secret bounty program to take out B1G quarterbacks. Totally believable.

Also, I have a bridge for sale if anyone’s interested... 🤪
