If you attended or watched the TCU Rose Bowl celebration you might have noticed a couple of banged up TCU players. Linebacker Tank Carder had his arm in a sling and running back Ed Wesley was on crutches. Stefan Stevenson of the Star-Telegram had an update for both players on his blog Monday.
Running back Ed Wesley is still nursing a mid-season injury that was aggravated during the Rose Bowl, in which Wesley only carried the ball four times. Wesley said he has about five more weeks of recovery, which means he should be healthy for spring practice.
Carder, who injured the shoulder last spring, had surgery last week. It's unknown whether Carder will be ready for contact by April.
It looks like neither injury should be that serious. As Stefan’s posting said Wesley needs about 5 weeks to recover. 5 weeks from today would be February 21st so he should be able to heal in plenty of time.
We already know what Tank Carder is about, it’s not like he has to prove himself in spring practice. If he isn’t back in time, I am really not that concerned about it. The Frogs defense just needs him healthy for September. Tank had surgery last offseason and recovered fine, hopefully this isn’t any different.
