Glad he's ok enough to travel. Hopefully a quick recovery with no complications.

"Probable thoracic spine fracture"?
I would think that means he is out for the season (at least).

Glad he's going to be ok. Also glad that wasn't the cervical spine area! Get better JL!

Is Blount still with the team? wonder how he has progressed as far as being the new "back up" QB for garretson?

"Probable thoracic spine fracture"? I would think that means he is out for the season (at least). I'm wondering this as well. Is there any history with football players coming back to play after a fracture in that area? Hope he heals quickly for his sake. I hope we have a quality backup QB.

"Probable thoracic spine fracture"? I would think that means he is out for the season (at least). A lot would depend on what part of vertebrae it is...weight bearing or vertebral process, which doesn't do much

"Probable thoracic spine fracture"? I would think that means he is out for the season (at least). A lot would depend on what part of vertebrae it is...weight bearing or vertebral process, which doesn't do much From Medscape.com... "Thoracic spine fractures, especially those resulting from high energy, can be devastating, often resulting in permanent neurologic injury. Neurologic deficit is encountered in 10-25% of all spinal column injuries, irrespective of the level of injury. A deficit occurs in 15-20% of all thoracolumbar injuries. In the event of a complete neurologic injury, very few patients regain any useful motor function. Concomitant neurologic injury with spine fractures also adversely affects long-term survival. The 10-year survival rate for people younger than 29 years is 86%. This percentage drops precipitously to 50% for patients older than 29 years." From orthoinfo.org "A fracture of the thoracic or lumbar spine causes moderate to severe back pain that is worsened with movement. If the spinal cord is involved, the patient may experience bowel/bladder dysfunction along with numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs."

If the spinal cord is involved, the patient may experience bowel/bladder dysfunction along with numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs." Just speaking from experience. Breaking a transverse process isn't that bad (have had 6). Weight bearing vertebrae are a real bitch and pretty sure what Medscape is describing (3 of those, T 7,8, and 9). Feels like a giant boa constrictor is squeezing you to death. I don't wish that on anyone. There's a big variation...slight discomfort to career ending. Gives me PTSD just thinking about it
