'18 FL WR Kevin Austin (Notre Dame Signee)

already sat out a year so that's not a factor. When he can go, he goes.

Kelly is usually on the optimistic side with injury timetables so this news is not good.

Agreed.

Any word on when he could return?

I think the hope is FSU (wk 4) at this point, but I could be wrong.

I've read anywhere from FSU to Clemson (4 week window between the two). So, basically nothing confirmed. Broken foot can be weird (fast or slow) recovery apparently.

Just don’t want a Greg Oden situation.

Weird, weird fear.
Far from all the stuff that man went through, not to mention a body type difference...lol

Also, wasn't Oden's thing a knee?

I was told he should be back practicing in some capacity before FSU, but when he actually returns to play depends on a lot of factors you can't really predict. There are reasons to be cautious with work load coming back from foot injuries.

If I had to guess, I'd say he'll start getting game reps at either Louisville or Pitt.

Yeah, definitely hope he doesn't start looking like a 105 year old man.

Knee(s) - I believe.
But I think he had feet issues too (bone spurs?) - don't care enough to look it up. Lol

He looked 90 when he was in HS.

Developed that during recovery after the injuries started to pile up. Didn't know how to cope with it. I believe he's over that now.

The receiving corps we THOUGHT we were going to have this year is finally starting to come together!

In seems quite weird to write about not pushing him back quickly vs FSU so he's 100% for the more dangerous duo of Louisville and Pitt, but that's the reality.

FSU is a mess, they had two more guys quit the team this week. Their fans are unable to figure out which coach to blame for the total collapse of their winning culture.

i watched their game, they lost their 4th straight season opener....hadn't happen to them since the 70's in bobby bowden's 1st year....

Hopefully. Austin, Lenzy, Keys at 100% with our TEs is good enough to get open and score points. We are so lucky we joined the ACC and got this super soft schedule.

Yep, and I don't hate it. At all.

That's quite a feat to lose 4 season openers in one year. I'll show myself out.

I kinda like it. If USC was still on the schedule to end the year, I would probably legit love it. It is definitely more interesting having a conference championship game hanging out there.

Did he play yesterday? I didn’t get to see much of the game.

He got one deep ball thrown to him but McKinley was having a good game + emphasis on the run so he didn't get a ton of snaps. Think it's smart to ease him back in.

Keyes really in the dog house, he got barely any reps at slot or PR after his fumble

I thought they mentioned on the broadcast that he was injured on the play where he got knocked to the ground by his own blocker. Did I dream that?
