Not really much of a surprise, but DeAndre Daniels is still walking around in a boot.


Precautionary or worse than feared?

Discuss.

I posted this the day of the Houston game and have not heard anything since but hopefully the info was bad.

"I don't want to be an alarmist and hope this is bad info but from a reliable source he heard from the AD that DD won't play tonight (not shocking) but that the injury could keep him out potentially very long-term. This is in contrast to what KO said yesterday so I'd lean towards that cause he is the coach and closer to DD then Warde but just relaying what I heard."

I'm glad he's still wearing it. Even if he thinks he doesn't need to, good to keep the pressure off.

Better to be on the safe side and have him rest an extra week or so than risk having him come back too soon, aggravate it, and be out for multiple weeks again in late Feb/March when we need him most.

I'm pretty sure Caroline Doty wore a walking cast for her 6 years here.

Somehow not very comforting.

I remember this post and someone asking NG how DD was doing and NG saying it wasn't a bad sprain. So we'll just have to wait to know what the truth is.

I hope that is the truth, we need an aggressive DD down the stretch.

Good. Stay in the boot past the time you need it. A real problem is taking it off too soon. It promotes healing.

Absolutely. There isn't any harm keeping in him in a boot. They are far enough in to the season where he shouldn't be rusty from missing a few full speed practices.

Even if he plays against Cincy, I hope they put him right back in to the boot.

While it obviously would have been better news if he weren't in the boot, it doesn't surprise me that he is, and it doesn't mean he's unlikely to play.

Didn't Tom Brady wear a walking boot the week before Super Bowl XLII? He obviously played.

We're not going to find out DD's status until 7:04 on Thursday.

According to Neil Ostrout, Daniels participated in some portions of practice today. No contact though. Will test the ankle again tomorrow.

I'm sure that even in a walking cast she looked hot.

That's why he's not certain if she was in the walking boot.

#UConn junior DeAndre Daniels (high right ankle sprain) practiced today. Experienced some soreness. Still day to day.
