Cornerback J.R. Richardson is wearing a protective boot on his left ankle and walking on crutches after suffering a sprained ankle during Monday's practice. The injury occurred, he said, when another player landed on Richardson's ankle as he intercepted a pass. Richardson said that "unless some crazy rehab goes on," his spring is over. He said doctors told him he is out for about six weeks.

Oh jeez another one in the secondary....

Dudes been in rehab since he got here

Here's to a full recovery.

JJ was right, we shouldn't touch each other in practice.

If it had to happen, this is the time. Get healthy, J.R.

All that accomplished was not touching the opponents in games.

And JR has not made it through 2 consecutive practices in his college career.

I'd say he's due for some good luck by now.

Have to find a balance, zero depth. This secondary is downright scary at this point. True freshmen coming in cannot be expected to make any difference.

You would have to think that some of the smaller WR's (who are unlikely to get much PT in Morris' system), might want to try moving to the defense.

You know what they say about injury prone players...



they tend to always be injured.

CB is really, really hard to learn. Switching a WR over isn't going to make a big difference. I would put more odds on a true frosh. Lancaster obviously has experience from HS and I would guess he might switch after the easter break (if he hasn't already).

One thing I noticed during practice was a "double star" formation. In a nickel package, they would put in another star player and switch to a 3 man front. So it isn't like we go to a 4 corner set or even a 3 corner set much. We need starters and backups, but we don't have to be 6 deep at corner. JR, Horace, Montes, Washington are a good start there. I'm not saying we shouldn't be concerned about the talent there, but I think I would be more concerned about the depth at Star because of that nickel look and Shaq getting injured.

Do you mean Montgomery? Jeanlys? Washington isn't on the team anymore.
