According to some information I have received defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger will have to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage that was done to his foot when three
This most likely means that Granger is done for the remainder of the 2008 football season. In the three games he has played in this season he has 6 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
There is always the hope that I’ve received false information on this but I have to tell you it isn’t likely.

That isn't good
Son of a b1tch… I guess we will see Bennett or Moore take his spot in the rotation?

Thank God
We are loaded on the line but losing him will definitely hurt in the long run. Hopefully he can get a medical redshirt.

Oklahoma defensive lineman DeMarcus Granger will miss a minimum of four to six weeks, it was announced Wednesday.
Sooners coach Bob Stoops said Granger is deciding whether to have surgery on his left foot, which was injured last Saturday in OU’s 55-14 victory over Washington. Surgery would end the junior’s season.
Granger was diagnosed with a sprain, but more extensive tendon and bone damage was found, Stoops said.
Granger has not started this season, but has seen extensive action in OU’s four-man defensive line rotation.
He has six tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss for the 3-0 Sooners, who host TCU at 6 p.m. Sept. 27.

NORMAN — The future for Oklahoma defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger is still up in the air.
Granger left last week’s game against Washington with an injured foot.
On Wednesday, OU coach Bob Stoops said the team still hasn’t decided what the next step will be in Granger’s comeback from the injury, which the coach described as more of a detached tendon in his foot.
It will either be rest for Granger or surgery.
With rest, he could be back to play as soon as three or four weeks from now. Surgery would end his season.

Oh brother....
Here’s hoping that it’s more the 4 weeks then the 6 weeks and definitely not the surgery option….
Makes me hate the Huskies and the Pac10 even more….

This is rotten
Hoping for Demarcus to heal up and get well. Foot and ankle injuries are always tough to heal from.

Even if he is able to
get back on the field in 4-6 weeks, his conditioning will be adversely affected, especially for a man of his size. On the other hand, we we could ease him back into the rotation as our depth is pretty solid.

I am deeply disturbed.
Accidents and injuries are a part of the game – it’s a contact sport. But here’s where I don’t understand – why can athletes get away with malicious actions on the field whereas if you do the same thing off the field you’ll end up with a police record? This was a clear case of Granger being purposefully abused by three Washington players. There was nothing incidental about this. This was an act that is likely ending his season.
Does anyone know if there are going to be any disciplinary actions taken?
Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.
