Abdul’s injury?

He's either just trolling, or this would indicate he's trying to come back from a pretty serious issue. Vader didn't slap a Band-aid on a paper cut ... he had to be, essentially, reborn and regrown, with all sorts of mechanical help to keep him alive thereafter, because most of his body was gone. Now, I'm not saying Carter lost his limbs to light sabers and lava ... but, to me, this would indicate they're doing serious treatment and maybe robo'ing him up (harness or something similar) to return. Or, again, he's just messing around and having fun with this on social media.
 
I think Carter plays if he can as much as he can. I wouldn't expect all of this (at least 3 posts on his social media) to simply troll ND and he doesn't dress.
I mean, he could be out (or likely out) and just trolling to make folks think he's coming back, or he could be relatively fine, and just trolling to make it seem like he's returning from the (near)dead, since everyone's asking about it and making a big deal out of it.
 

LOL! Wild.

I'm a little behind on modern culture so have no idea what any of that means but I think he'll be playing on Thursday evening.

On the Irish side, word is that their star running back, Jeremiyah Love, is going to play after leaving the game against Georgia with an apparently injured knee. Their star defensive tackle, Rylie Mills, who leads the team in sacks, remains out after an injury against Indiana. Another defensive tackle, Howard Cross, left the Georgia game with an undisclosed injury but he's still listed at the top of the Irish depth chart so I assume he'll play.

Thursday night will be our 16th game of the season. One thing about this expanded playoff on top of a CCG is it's akin to a war of attrition. Gotta hope key guys stay healthy.

Yeah, I mean, to me if he is going to post and troll on social media, he has to do more than dress, no? I have zero inside info and am just guessing that whatever it is, isn't a career or NFL draft dropping injury. IMO, he needs to at least be out there for various 3rd downs here and there. It seems to me (and maybe this is just in my head) that our program and players have a hard time differentiating b/w being hurt vs being injured...something that JF has alluded to. I'd be disappointed if he doesn't at least play here and there.

He’s going to play. How much is to be determined, but he’s going to give it a go.

Well, we consistently see your irrational negativity on these boards, so there's a VERY good chance this incredibly negative view is all in your head. On what basis are you asserting this? What are your examples?

Even here, in this instant case, you have NO IDEA what injury he does or doesn't have, but you're already going to be disappointed if he doesn't give it a go.

Holy crap, some folks are just looney tunes.
