OT Josh “Jimmy” Simmons (Official Thread)

[gmen6981]

I know the injury looked bad when it happened especially since it appeared to be non contact, but has anything even been said about whether he's done for the season or not? ( judging by how it looked I have to assume he is)

Edit: Just saw that Day said in the post game presser that it was probably as bad as it looked and he wasn't hopeful about Simmons returning this season. He was awaiting updates from the medical staff.

It looked to me like an ACL injury, was it?

Haven't seen it reported anywhere yet.

Devastating loss

I though this loss was bigger than the game loss. In theory there is still a way to the B1G championship and Natty after losing to Oregon. It will be a lot harder without Simmons.

I'm just catching up on individual threads but this would be very bad...it's not hyperbole to say Simmons was probably the most important player on our offense and he was coming into his prime this year. We're going to have to think hard about how to mitigate this loss, and keep our QB from getting crushed. Not to knock a player, but Zen is a significant downgrade at LT and that could be a big liability.

As for Simmons, speedy recovery my guy.
