Not sure why Ralphie Report is saying he can apply for medical redshirt.

He could, if he hadn't already redshirted. It's confusing. Most people have it in their heads that if you miss a season due to a medical thing that the NCAA can give you that year back. Often the case, but there's more to it than that.
You can apply for a hardship waiver (6th year) if you have missed two or more seasons due to injury. You can also get a hardship due to injury if you have competed in less than 30% of the season and you still have a redshirt year available.
@Buffnik is almost always correct, but I'm not so sure in this case. Case Keenum was granted a sixth year of eligibility after being injured his senior year in 2010. There was no previous injury year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_Keenum
2006 - Normal redshirt year. No injury.
2007 - Played in all 13 games.
2008 - Started the full season and passed for over 5,000 yards.
2009 - Another full season of playing. Over 5,800 yards of total offense.
2010 - Tore ACL in the 3rd game.
2011 - Granted 6th year of eligibility. Led Houston to a bowl game.

Per Howell's chat, McCartney will "look into" a medical redshirt.
I mean no harm in asking. It would be wrong not to look into it.
Liar!

The NCAA grants a sixth year of eligibility only if a player has missed two seasons because of an injury or circumstances beyond the player's control. Keenum was granted a medical redshirt in 2006 because of a separated shoulder sustained late in his senior season in high school.
So they need to

McCartney is a Junior so he has next year. I wonder if he can take Med courses while at the Boulder Campus...He has greyshirted, redshirted and now looking at a medical redshirt year. The kid will be 30 by the time he is done playing.
