He's gotta go straight to an MRI. Make sure no structural damage. That could still be ligament damage, right?
Now Yianni v. Punia
Yianni TD for 2.
Y in on shots, but not able to finish.
In again, but Punia defending. Yianni got 2 somewhere else.
Now 2 TD for Punia.
But, they take 2 away from Yianni. It is 2-2, with Punia in the lead.
Break.

Break.
Yianni shot. Good defense from Punia.
No punia in on shot, but Yianni does Yianni things for his own TD. 4-2 Yianni.
2 exposure for Yianni, followed by 2 exposure for Punia.
Yianni gets another TD. 8-4.
Yianni bleeding.
And Yianni wins it! 10-8
The dude took GREAT shots. He didn't need to rely on his counters so much. They were still there, but his shots won him that. He's going to be a world champ/Olympic champ, no doubt.
Yianni is a freak. Zain and JO have an uphill climb.
If blood coming out of his nose is a lunger, then yes, he took a lunger.
Burroughs gets the pushout.
Burroughs double-legs straight to Ben's back for 4. 5-0.
And another 2 and 2. 9-0. Back to center.
Ben taking ground now, but JB may have taken his foot off the pedal.
He's going to let it go to break.

And that was the last time a NLWC wrestler ever competed at Beat the Steets . . .
Get well soon DT.
Bajrang may not have been at full capacity and/or jetlagged, but Yianni is a joy to watch wrestle. I'll cheer my butt off for Zain still, of course, but wow.

How does that work w/ his NCAA title at a weight in between the 2 olympic weights? He should stay at 92 anyway, IMO, but I'm curious.
Why? Can't an NCAA champion choose the weight he will compete at, since NCAA weights don't match world weights?
I think a wrestler who wins at NCAAs can go either up or down. For example, Ashnault can go 65 KG or 70 KG. Nolf could go 70 KG or 74 KG. And Bo could go 86 KG or 92 KG. Cassar can also go up or down.
i'm not an expert, just basing it on the titles in the link below that says 184lb champ gets the 86kg spot at WTT and 197lb champ goes to 92kg. there could be earlier documentation that says NCAA champs can choose between two weights.

edit: found the qualification procedures. it doesn't specify what weight the NCAA champs need to go at WTT, just that they qualify.

Photos from BTS... I can't look at the one where DT possible injured his knee.

"Any of the qualifiers may elect to change weight classes to compete at another weight at the World Team Trials Challenge Tournament only. The contestant should notify USA Wrestling in advance of this intention, but a change in weight may be made at weigh-in."

Given past experience, I, for one, am shocked that Cael hasn't already called a press conference to give us an update.

Ask Casey
Considering it is only about 13 hours after he was injured, I wouldn't read anything into the lack of news. Good chance he did not have an examination by an Orthopedist last night or a MRI.
Good news is he can request a delay in his Final X match which I expect him to do.Looking at the USA Wrestling calendar Fargo makes sense would give DT 6 extra weeks
