Shaun Lane Injury

Sorry guys . . . I'm not really a buckeye fan *gasp* but I do have a question.

What were the extent of Shaun Lane's injuries during the game Monday night and what's the prognosis. Was it infact just a stinger?

All I can find online are little snippets of info and we, my husband and I, are still wondering . . .

Thanks guys. I did search this forum, as well as the internet in general. Nobody seems to know anything so I came here.

I'm assuming it's not serious since nobody is talking about it??!!

I'll check back . . . surely someone will keep us posted . . . :tongue2:

BuckeyeXtra - The Columbus Dispatch : OSU football: Lane returns from Phoenix

Ohio State defensive back Shaun Lane returned from Phoenix on a late-afternoon flight yesterday, three days after suffering a pinched nerve in his neck area while making a tackle on kickoff coverage during the Fiesta Bowl.

He spent three nights in a Phoenix hospital under observation before being allowed to fly home.
Lane said his right arm and right leg went numb after his hit on Texas return man Jordan Shipley. While feeling returned quickly to his leg, his arm has been slow to rebound, though he has been assured it will. He had his right arm in a sling for the flight home.

Ohio State football: Lane's recovery is in full swing
Fiesta Bowl injury was 'scary,' but his NFL dream is alive

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Being strapped to a backboard and carted off the field obviously was not the way Shaun Lane saw his college football career ending.

"It was an unfortunate situation, but I wouldn't have rather gone out any other way than going down for my team and trying to finish out the game the right way," Lane said.

As the senior leader of Ohio State's punt- and kickoff-coverage units, he made a reputation for his fearless assaults on blockers and return men. But his college playing days came to a crashing halt Jan. 5 in the first half of the Fiesta Bowl, when a collision with Texas' Jordan Shipley left Lane almost motionless on the University of Phoenix Stadium field in Glendale, Ariz.

"It was kind of scary when it first happened," Lane said. "The right side of my body went numb. I couldn't feel my leg or my arm.

"As I lay there my leg started to come back to me, but my arm -- I wasn't even sure my arm was still attached to my body. That's a weird feeling, believe me."

Ohio State notebook of March 16

Lane surgery

The scariest scene from the 2008 season came in the bowl game when Shaun Lane lay motionless on the field after a collision with Texas? Jordan Shipley. The right side of Lane?s body was numb. Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel said the feeling has returned in all but below his right elbow. Lane?s football career likely is finished, but Tressel seemed hopeful that surgey would bring back the feeling to the rest of his right arm.

After football, injury lingers
Former Buckeye Shaun Lane is still waiting to get the use of his right arm

Shaun Lane, a natural right-hander, has had to adjust to using his left hand for everyday functions, such as taking care of daughter Gianna, 2.

Shaun Lane signals that he is OK while being carted off the field after making a tackle on a kickoff return during the Fiesta Bowl against Texas on Jan. 5.

It was a marvel watching Shaun Lane maneuver his wriggling 2-year-old daughter Gianna into a restaurant booster seat the other day.


He whispered to her, she whispered back, then he positioned the seat before lifting her gently into place. Naturally right-handed, he did it all with his left.

"I've learned to write left-handed," Lane said. "I can even tie my shoes with one hand. I never thought I'd be able to do that."
He never thought he'd have to.

But that was before his last play as an Ohio State football player -- likely his last football play, period. As he tackled Texas kickoff return man Jordan Shipley late in the first half of the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 5, Lane's right arm and right leg went numb.

Taken from the field on a cart, the feeling in his leg returned within days. But not his arm. As he dealt with his daughter the other day, his right arm was still in a sling. "I still can't move it," Lane said.
