I have a hope and a question.

My hope is that the "pop" Braxton felt was simply a dislocation and nothing torn.

My question is how does one dislocate a shoulder through a simple throwing motion?

I've had major shoulder issues and surgery to fix them. Honestly if he did dislocate there is no way he'll be throwing a ball at the NCAA QB level for at least the next 6 months. Luckily I played OL so it didn't matter if I couldn't throw. Luckily for me I just subluxed my throwing shoulder so I was still able to play catch or be on the office softball team. My other shoulder was dislocated and it has never been the same even after surgery. I've had it dislocate or sublux several times after the surgery and between the two my ability to strengthen my shoulders or things like bench press were greatly diminished. I couldn't imagine going from a dislocation to throwing a football 40 yrds with any kind of accuracy in less than a year. Any other position I would say it could be a few weeks to recover enough to play, but not a QB's throwing shoulder.

Labrum tears are tricky... very easy to tear them again after surgeries.. especially if the initial surgeries were just to clean things up... lived thru it with oldest son... multiple times... and via heavy weight lifting he has additional tears... they can go in and "do it right" but you're out of commission many months.. time to go see Dr Andrews

All of the OSU/B1G beat reporters have mentioned this morning that media availability today has been cancelled. Obviously wouldn't be fair to any players to put them out there for the barrage of Braxton questions.

my daughter subluxed the SC joint in her throwing shoulder (softball/catcher) she missed 6 months and took 3 more to rebuild the strength. If he did in fact dislocate his AC joint by throwing it means the joint wasn't stable to begin with and there is no ways he's even picking up a football before the combine. I pray this is not the case.

Regarding taking a year... I can't believe that this isn't the absolute best option for him. Heck, he's only in his fourth year. Having a full year to get healthy and focus on school and rehab would put him in a better position on and off the field no matter what happens with the rehab.

Either way, only wish the best for him.
