Just watched Lamichael's press conference and:

1. He is a tough sumbitch

2. He seems like a really nice kid

3. He does not actually look like a "kid" - he looks like he is 35 years old.

Says he will play again this season.

Looks like a complete dislocated elbow from this pic.

wow that looks terrible hopefully he is okay and can recover from it, but even if he does recover it might lower in draft rankings

WOW, that's one of those injuries that you don't wana see happen to a good guy, not sure is he can bounce back this season though; it's just about half way through.

Apparently the Xray said there were no breaks hopefully it turns out to be just a dislocation

Not sure if anyone has ever had this type of injury, but it’s really not a difficult injury to overcome. I dislocated my elbow rounding up some hogs. I actually made the situation so much worse for myself because I initially thought I dislocated my shoulder as well, and because I had had multiple shoulder dislocations before, I immediately yelled and asked a buddy to pop it back in.

BIG MISTAKE!!

He grabbed my arm thinking he was going to try and set my shoulder, and because the elbow had popped out, my arm and no give whatsoever, and all my weight fell behind me with him holding my arm. He ended up popping the elbow back into place, but the pain was so IMMENSE that I actually went into complete shock, passed out, and stopped breathing. When I woke up, I was intubated in ICU. I obviously don't recall anything after going into shock, but the second or two right before was far and away the most painful moment of my life, and trust me, I have had some very painful things happen. I once had Gen Green in my thumb after a surgically repaired "game keeper's thumb" surgery. Because of the infection, they had to remove the pin that was spiraled into my bone. They said they couldn't numb it due to the counter actions of the infection, so they used a pair of pliers and yet started to yank it out. That pain was brutal, but did not even come CLOSE to the pain of my elbow getting set. Like I said, I have had both of my shoulders dislocated at least a half-dozen times, and while the reset doesn't feel good by any stretch of the imagination, its almost an immediate relief the second it goes back in.

Anyhoo, just thought I share a similar injury story. James will no doubt recover from this and I wouldn't be shocked at all to see him bad within 4-6 weeks.

They honestly don't need him until the Stanford game (prolly not even then), so I'd just rest him until then.

Kind of reminds me of an injury i saw on espn years ago. If I remember correctly, it was a Kentucky guy who was going down and decided to put his hand down to keep himself up and he put his hand down, elbow bent the wrong way all the way to the ground. This had to have been 10 years ago. Maybe I am just making crap up again though.

He said after the game that he had the same thing happen in high school and he was able to play pretty soon after that. He doesn't anticipate having to miss too much time, but who knows.

not only was I super impressed with what LaMichael James did on the field the other night, I thought he represented himself well in the post game conference. seems like a good guy, and good teammate.

You know what? I watched LaMichael's presser as well and the kid came off very well. I was very impressed with his poise and he seemed extremely genuine. Reminded me A LOT of Mike Floyd to be honest. This is the kind of kid I can get on board with. Get well soon, LMJ.
