Looks Like they will repair and stabilize in the entire area...

From Jalen's mom on TOS..... "Good morning, everyone. There is a lot of speculation about Jalen's condition, so I wanted to let everyone know what is going on and what we've decided to do about this situation. On his 3rd or 4th carry of the game Sunday, he fell in an awkward position with his arm stretched out over his head. As he hit the ground, another young man fell on top of him while he was in that position. I know that most people didn't even realize he was hurt (heck, I didn't) because he plays with such intensity, but he did hurt his shoulder due to the fall. He has a minor labrum tear in his right shoulder. This is not the same area that was repaired last time; that area is still very much intact. The risk of him playing injured and causing further damage to that shoulder or the risk of him potentially hurting himself somewhere else because he would be playing injured is not something that we feel would be beneficial in any way to Jalen's future. So we have decided to go ahead and get this area repaired and also have this area stabilized to prevent future dislocations. He will have this surgery very soon so that he will have adequate recovery time and so that he will be completely healed when he enrolls at UT in January. This is obviously very disappointing to him, his team, etc, but he has had an extremely successful high school career and his main concern now is to being healthy for his Vols. Thanks to everyone for your concern and support!"

From a poster Vol74 on VN: jalen hurd... Shoulder is injured. Not that bad, but enough to question the stability of the area and if he will continue this year since Jalen likes to hit pretty dang hard. They are going to the doctor tomorrow, and I have been told they plan on giving a full report to everyone. IMO I think he addresses it now and worries about being 100% for Spring ball at UT.

It just seems when u voice the confidence of your teams chance at a victory and your reasons for doin so it's perfectly fine. However when we say our opinion we get slammed. Lets let the boys settle this on the gridiron. Go to the Bradley polk thread and see how confident they were even fans of other schools were saying Bradley by atleast 21. Best of luck to the pounders.

This Polk team is much improved from last season. As is Miller it seems he may have even a little more drive after his participation and what he learned during the US Army All American JR Invitation in Texas. Hope for a good game and every player injury free.

They were up 29-13 before fatigue set in

For the record Polk didn't Beat Bradley last minute. They controlled the whole and got tired in the final minutes. Bradley play a lot of kids and I doubt Central has WR duo better than Pickel and Crisp of Bradley or the defense. Polk controls the clock and wins 35-17...
