We will be "whole again"
I don't remember when or where, but not that long ago (within the last week or so?) I recall CMY indicated we would be "whole again", and "very soon." I know we heard that Lawal might be back Wednesday, but what about Dorn and Johnson? If they are all, indeed back soon, this stretch will be remembered for having "stretched" the team for the better. Let's get our depth back!

I believe he said that in the UVA postgame. Doesn’t make as much sense
for him to say this if Johnson is indeed out for 4 more weeks or so. I guess ‘soon’ is a subjective term.

Post-game uva press conference. I took it to mean at least
1 was out for the year, another most of the year. Mike Young usually says the opposite of the truth when it comes to injuries....what he says publically means nothing.

I do. After the UVA game. "we're as thin as nickel soup now fellas,
but we will be whole soon."

I reckon Dorn is out a long long time
No news is bad news Johnson probably a month at best. Broke his tibia.

Dorn is the very definition of day to day...
If he hasn't had surgery on his back (and he hasn't to my knowledge) then it is truly about meeting key milestones to reduce risk of re-injury. That can be very tricky and fleeting with back injuries and Im sure the last thing the staff or the training staff want to do is give an athlete chronic back issues at age 22 It can feel good one day and flame up the next...its all about getting to a point where endurance and physical activity dont weaken then muscle/structure around the injury...then go from there I have zero idea where he is in this process but he very well could be back tomorrow or never play again. Its a tricky situation

I think that was before Johnson was hurt. He'll be a while I fear.

Yes. Let’s get our depth back to being depth and get Lawal and Johnson back
in the starting line up. H
