I hope they limit him this week (if he even plays at all), so as to no reaggrevate his injury. These things can linger around for a while if he pushes back too soon.

LAVISKA SHENAULT IS A BAD BAD BAD MAN

What things? Do we even know what the issue is? I find the great mystery surrounding his injury kind of strange. They’re cool with releasing specific info on literally everybody else, including the second best player on the team (Mustafa), but they won’t say a word about Viskas.

Vegas will get this fixed. Standardized injury reports coming soon.
They have their own reasons for not disclosing it, so I won't either.
?? This seems very unlikely considering HIIPAA.
I thought it was a shoulder issue?

How do pros handle it? They even post in-game reports on the big screen.
If concerned about HIPPA, how are current disclosures on Mustafa and Miller not violations.
I don’t understand.
Hot diggity damn. Glad to hear it.
Mustafa and Miller's injuries were pretty obvious from the broadcast. No one knows with Viska. We've heard shoulder, mid-section/ribs/abdomen, and toe. Could be any, all, or none of the above.
Hooray
They all gave consent to release injury information. To me, the team is purposely withholding the specifics on Viska.
I don't blame them.
An NFL player can agree to waive his privacy rights as a condition of employment. A student-athlete can't be forced to do the same.

So what?

Did Mustafa and Miller waive their rights?
I think it's interesting that for Mustafa they identify the exact play, but for Viska they just identify the series.
Lots of signs pointing to this being an injury that could be targeted by other players if they knew what it was.
Of course, they know where you're hurt, damn straight they'll target that.
I have no idea. Coach Tucker seems to prefer the Belichick approach to injuries, and I'm fine with that. After the ASU game, Miller's injury was to his sternum, now it's apparently moved to his knee.
Luke has really grown in his role as Allbuff’s color commentator
I think it’s weird when they released the specifics of other players
Now, I hear his posts in a John Madden voice.
“Of course, if, if they know, ya know, where you hurt, they’re, damn straight, they’re gonna target that injury right there. That’s why they call it an injury, because the player feels a little extra zinger if he, you know if, if he gets hit right on that spot. “
BOOM! RIGHT WHERE IT HURTS!

Just like hockey playoff injury reports. Upper body injury, ignore the limp!
None of the other players dictate a game plan nearly as much as Viska. Why wouldn't the staff keep it in limbo so that UA has to game plan for if Viska is in vs. if he's out (much like we've had to do with Tate)? The specifics of the injury being withheld also make it that much more challenging for UA.
It might be a more private, personal area type injury, with pain tolerance being the limiting factor.
You think he got bit by the Gonorrhea Goose?
Thinking more testicular contusion, wouldn't be surprised if he took a knee to the groin severe enough that it caused him problems.

I think it's gamesmanship.
I think we would have seen evidence of this on the field / sideline. I got a bruised dick once...
