Notre Dame Basketball: Robby Carmody Update

Although not surprising, the still unfortunate word on the rest of his 2019-20 season came this morning in a release from the Notre Dame Athletic Communications Department:

With under a minute to go last night in their loss at No. 3 Maryland, Notre Dame guard Robby Carmody suffered what looked to be a brutal knee injury.

Although not surprising, the still unfortunate word on the rest of his 2019-20 season came this morning in a release from the Notre Dame Athletic Communications Department:

Report: Alabama DL DJ Dale doesn’t travel with team to Auburn

Charlie Potter of 247 Sports reported that Alabama’s true freshman nose tackle, DJ Dale, will not be playing in the 2019 Iron Bowl at Jordan Hare stadium as he did not travel with the team.

His knee injury is to blame for him not making the trip to Auburn.

Dale has played in six games in the 2019 season where he has accumulated 17 total tackles, a lone sack and a fumble recovery.

His absence won’t be a huge loss for the Alabama defensive front, and as Potter reported, Saban believes “everybody else has a chance to play in this game.

Report: Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson headed back to injured reserve

In an unexpected turn of events, Seahawks TE Ed Dickson – who was just activated this week – could be headed back to the injured reserve.

Just days after the Seattle Seahawks activated tight end Ed Dickson back to the 53-man roster, he might be headed back to the injured reserve.

A report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler indicates that’s exactly what is likely to happen.

“Seahawks expected to place TE Ed Dickson back on IR, according to sources,” Fowler tweeted early Thursday evening. “Dickson was activated this week but there’s concern over his recovery from injury.”

This report contradicts what coach Pete Carroll had said earlier in the week – that Dickson would actually be able to carry a full workload Sunday against the Eagles.

“He’s going to play a regular load if the week works out fine,” Carroll said Wednesday. “He’s been conditioning for a long time. He’s been practicing with us for quite a while. He should be ready to go. Weight’s in a good spot. He looks like he’s in good shape. He won’t play the whole game because we’ll be moving guys in and out. We expect him to play a regular role.”

If the Seahawks do place Dickson back on the injured reserve, they will undoubtedly have to active Tyrone Swoopes up from the practice squad.

This story is continuing to develop.
