TAYLOR REICH: On the mend

Post by **PonyPride** » Wed May 09, 2012 10:43 pm

SMU's spring workouts ended a little earlier for freshman tackle Taylor Reich than he would have wanted, thanks to an injury he suffered when a teammate fell across the back of his leg. Reich visited with PonyFans.com to discuss the injury, how it happened and when he expects to return to the field.

Enjoy!

Thanks for finding Taylor to get the update for us.

Do everything asked of you and more in rehab, Taylor -- we want you back at 100 percent in the fall! Here's hoping for a full recovery.

That's great news, Jeff. Hope Taylor continues to progress and comes back healthy and ready to go. Looking forward to seeing him tear it up in the fall! Safe travels back to Big D.

Just a quick update for those interested. Taylor had his first physical therapy today. Went very well and he took his first steps on his injured leg\ankle. There was no pain and we were told his progress is excellent! He has been working out at a 24 Hour Fitness location for the last few weeks lifting as well. He is excited to get back and continue his rehab with the SMU staff. We begin the 21 hour drive back to Dallas later this month! Thanks again to all the well wishers!!

Pony Up!
