Manti's nose injury?

[sportallyr]

Please fee free to bump this if it has been addressed in another thread, but I couldn't find anything. Anyways, what was the extent of his nose injury? If it is broken, how might that affect his play this week?

Teo is a throwback, I bet he plays and plays well, this game may move him closer to something I think many people see as impossible-----Heisman consideration his senior year. I felt that when he first came here and still feel its possible.

He would have been back on the field last week if the game had been closer. Broken noses, at least in hockey, are considered no different than a small aesthetic improvement; I assume the same in football.

This. ^^

Many people don't understand injuries at this point. It's not about being tough anymore. It's about making sure that the athlete is cared for in a way that does not leave lasting damage.

Nose break...painful, but no lasting damage.

Concussion...different.

Broken nose is nothing. He could stay on the field so long as the bleeding is stopped.
