OL injury status ?

[RickinDayton]

Donkoh went down early in Minny game. Was there any mention of his status going forward?

Did J.B. Nelson play against Minny? I remember he went down I the Purdue game.

Did Cooper Cousin get many reps on the OL against Minny?

Unfortunately, he appears to be an injury prone player. And the unfortunate thing about injury prone players is that they get injured. He effectively has been a co-starter since he got injured in the UCLA game; he missed a lot of the Wisconsin game, didn't start against OSU, and now got hurt on the second play of the game against Minny.

He also may be our best OL Player.

His run blocking for a tackle is very effective.

I understand that, and maybe things will change next season and he'll become an iron man. However, an employer of mine once told me that showing up for your job is 95% of being a good employee.

I realize that most injuries are by chance and unavoidable, especially knee injuries, so I'm not talking about this most recent one, despite the fact that he was totally pushed back onto his rear on that play by a bull rush. However, I listened to Franklin's PC very closely the week before the OSU game after the Wisconsin game, and I interpreted his comments about this player that he needs to learn how to play through some discomfort, and again I'm not talking about this current injury.
