Wait.... This is terrible for Cardale. But how is this happening?
Wow, really hope it is nothing serious and he is good to go on Monday.
Explains why 11W crashed.
Thank goodness. We only want him suffering a metaphorical headache late on Labor Day Night.
Would not be surprised if they keep him out of the game as a precaution. Those things can be nasty
Speaking strictly as a pre hospital care provider and with no input into his ACTUAL condition. If I took someone complaining of headache so bad they needed to go to ER I would looking for an underlying cause. Could be nothing if he has a history but if not that's a lot of looking for something.
Exactly my thoughts. He might have a history, but if not there could certainly be an underlying cause which could be minor or extremely serious. Prayers sent.
And even if he does have a history, it's concerning he had an ambulance called. Head issues are bad news and its probably in his best interests to not play this week as a precaution. And really, if it could possibly be concussion related, leave him in Columbus and don't subject him to that atmosphere.
As someone who has suffered from migraines that can be very debilitating; to the point of getting physically sick when I start seeing the jaggies. A severe attack making you really wish you were dying. Fortunately, once the attack is over all is well; other then feeling weak and sick to the stomach for a while.
I have no idea what happened to 12 Gauge; but I agree, as someone with no medical training beyond emergency first aid, that you need to see if there is a casual factor or "just" a bad migraine. Given the heightened attention to, and awareness of, concussions I suspect he will get a full workup to be sure there is no serious problem.
Thanks for all the good wishes, I'll only be rooting against you guys for a few hours during the regular season.
I also suffer from migraines, but the most benign kind. I get the aura, I get the opposite side of head headaches, but they are far from debilitating. After twenty minutes or so, I'm ok to function. That said, if you're calling 911, it ain't something to be casual about. Hope the guy is ok.
I really hope he is ok. At the end of the day football is just a game and it sucks hearing about incidents like this
Hope everything works out for him
Wtf with our QB's. Hoping it's just a migraine, but Fireman is right - better be looking for underlying causes if this is unusual. Thanks for all the classy well wishes. It's hard to hate you guys. (But I'll get liquored up Monday night in an honest effort to do so)
I'll be sure to make it easy for you ;-) /S
A phrase never uttered to WVU fans in the history of mankind.
Hope he's alright but who goes to the hospital for migraines? I mean I guess if it's bad enough...?
The initial report is that this is new for him, it's prolonged, and he couldn't stand. That could be pretty scary for a young man IF he's never experienced migraines before.
I randomly had one come on last Monday. I can totally see why someone would call an ambulance the first time. Hopefully for him it was just an isolated thing and he bounces right back too.
Percy Harvin was sidelined a good bit of his rookie season in the NFL with migraines. I think he was hospitalized a couple of times.
MANY people go to the ED for migraines, and that is with the full knowledge that it's definitely a migraine.
However, often times it's not that easy.
Simple/classic migraines are easily treatable, but if one is having nausea and vomiting then it makes oral medications ineffective and requires IV's/injections at times.
Migraines can be debilitating at times with severe pain and with complicated migraines patients can present with stroke-like symptoms. It can be very concerning and requires imaging at time. (CT/MRI)
Now, imagine if you just have the worst HA ever with no prior diagnosis of migraines. It is entirely reasonable to go seek care as there are many potential serious causes. (not to mention in a football player who likely has had some contact recently.) You would have to consider concussions, hemorrhages, temporal arteritis, strokes, etc.
These are all unlikely, but worthy of medical evaluation.
IF the internet is true, then Mr. Jones should be ok, meds, rest etc.
We'll hope for the best and wish him well.
Thanks for the insight, Doc!
The first time I saw my then-GF-now-wife getting a migraine she had a severe case of aphasia. Even though she had a long history of migraines, It was the first (and last) time that happened to her. We stopped by Patient First on our way to the emergency room. She was fine by the time she got some fluids, etc.
I echo the comment above RE metaphorical headaches.
Migraines suck. I've had a few that were almost hospital-worthy. It is unusual but not out of the realm of possibility
I hope it's nothing.
Stress and pollen reaction.
Get well.
Hope the guy is okay. Football is one thing but health should be the top priority especially for someone that age who plays a major contact sport.
The word is that someone showed him this video and this was the result...
On a serious note, the latest reports it's just migraines and he is expected to be ok.
That link man. You're alright.
"Mah...."
You're not you when you're hungry, Rosie O'Donnell!
Seriously hope he is ok. I've had three concussions, and head stuff is not to be taken lightly. Hope that he is ok to travel, but if not, I hope that he recovers in a safe way.
I highly doubt it's concussion related. They monitor that very carefully, and the QBs have been wearing black jerseys all fall.
It doesn't have to be an immediate aftereffect to be related. I had a couple concussions 3 or 4 years ago, had a migraine last week out of nowhere, and I have no doubt it's due to long-term damage to my noggin.
Was going to joke, but thought better of it. Hope it is nothing serious.
He probably was sent to the hospital as a precaution. I mean come on, this guy is possibly the starting quarterback for the number one team in the nation. It's 5 days before the season opener. Everything they're doing now is out of precaution.
Maybe it's just stress-related...? Hopefully? Anyway, hopefully the young man's okay. From the latest updates, sounds like everything is seemingly okay now.
Get well soon Cardale so you can experience the atmosphere at lane stadium after a loss.
Best wishes to Cardale for a speedy recovery. Migraines are no joke. My wife gets them and they can be debilitating.
Wow, how can one team have so many injuries at QB? Buckeyeing isn't easy...
Best of luck in your recovery kid.
Don't jinx us and ask about how many injuries one team could rack up to another position.
Has he ever had a concussion? I hope it's not related to that. Wish the guy well
I hope it's not concussion related, concussions symptoms can vary widely. My son is going through one right now (he believes from heading ball), He blew away all his impact and baseline testing (scored higher on his already high baseline) but still has headaches. His trainer and Dr are puzzled because they never have seen someone test in this manner. It took about 2.5 weeks for him to be symptom free - no headaches. This allowed for the start of return to play protocol - easing into physical exercise with increasing intensity and an eventual return to full contact practice. (1 week). In his first full practice, he simply fell to ground (no hard contact) and started experiencing headaches and eventually pulled himself out of practice. He is now starting process all over. This is his second diagnosed concussion, but the manner in which he shows symptoms is not typical. Its hard to say how many concussions were not diagnosed over the course of his soccer career.
Best wishes to Cardale for a speedy recovery.
I'm sure it is different for College Football, but I really can't imagine playing Cardale by Monday.
I haven't heard anything about concussions. Don't know where that's coming from.
It's probably coming from the fact that it's not uncommon for there to be an underlying issue to someone experiencing their first migraine and it being so debilitating that they need to go to the hospital. Given the awareness of concussions in sports, especially football, at the moment, it's a fair thought to believe it may be concussion related. Head pain is never good. It can mean absolutely nothing and it can mean something very serious. My hope for Cardale is that it's nothing serious.
Not me, just saying that I hope he did NOT have a concussion, Also, describing how the symptoms can be very different and my sons recovery process. I've seen the classic kid looks like he is on another planet, can't count backwards, eyes dilated, weak knees, ect.
My son showed none of that on his first concussion, in fact it was delayed a little. Only tip off was when he was vomiting in the middle of the night. Baseline tests scores were more than 20% off in 3 of 5 tests. With his current concussion, again vomiting was tip off, but his baseline scores were + 20%. Concussions aren't straight forward and that might be why we sometimes hear about un-diagnosed concussions.
Hopefully nothing more than a migraine, but as has been said...if it is bad enough that they took him to the ER, I definitely hope they search high and low for the underlying cause. The young man's life is more important than any football game. Hope he's okay.
I feel like every day I'm reading about a buckeye being suspended, injured, or taken to the hospital. Can gameday please get here soon! This offseason needs to end now! Hopefully Cardale makes a full recovery, but the coaches just need to leave him in Columbus as a precaution. When it comes to head injuries it is always better to play it as safe as possible.
Not to mention what flying on an airplane can do to a head injury with the pressure changes and so forth. I once got a migraine during landing. It only lasted about 15 minutes but was nearly the worst pain I've ever felt. I couldn't see straight and actually started tearing up from the pain.
I was kinda thinking something along these lines, and not because I don't want him to play in our game. I think it's best to be cautious and by having 2 QBs who are more than capable of running the offense, I don't see the need to put Cardale in. Just take every precaution to make sure it's nothing serious, especially with only 4 days until our game.
Yep, playing on the side of caution is always best. Of course, I understand the coaches hesitation as well. Our QB's get dinged a lot and if JT gets hurt on Monday we are in trouble. I know our 3rd string QB thing last year turned out great, but this year the 3rd string QB really does look like a 3rd stringer. Player safety always comes first, but this does make for a very delicate situation. You don't want to be like Michigan and put in a QB who is still having concussion symptoms. PR nightmare.
In your opinion, if they hold Cardale out and JT goes down, do you go to your 3rd stringer or do you think you put Braxton under center? Regardless of what the coaches might do, which would you prefer?
I'd say put Braxton under center. A new, inexperienced QB might suffer the same fate as Barrett last year, particularly at Lane Stadium. Unless Braxton shows he can't throw at all, then ____?
That's what I was thinking as well. Play conservatively, no long bombs, lots of run and option-based plays, and Miller could be serviceable even with a bum shoulder.
"enter night" seems to have hit Cardale early.
on a serious note, glad it looks to be nothing serious. he's a helluva player and one I actually hope we do not see much of Monday night. hope he's feeling better though.
Urban said he is fine and will practice today. Has had migraine issues before.
