Austin Davis will be sidelined for an undetermined period of time after suffering a right foot injury against Toledo.
Davis suffered a plantar fascia injury in his right foot during a non-contact movement against Toledo, per a U-M release. He will begin rehabilitation immediately.
“While we are sad to have Austin suffer an injury right now, we were glad to hear that there is a possibility of his return at the appropriate time,” said Howard in a statement. “We know Alex (Wong) and all the members of the U-M medical staff will take good care of ‘Big Country.””
Howard said he’s not sure how long Davis will be out, but that he expected the injury to last multiple weeks.

Would’ve been nice for Johns to get more center reps against the mid majors in hindsight. Oh well.

Welp I guess Dickinson is starting now

Bummer for Davis. Thankfully we don’t play much the rest of December. Silver lining is that this forces the coaching staff to start Dickinson.

A quick google search says 9-12 weeks for recovery, but I am not a doctor and have no idea how accurate that timeline is and how it changes with severity.

Oh man. Feel terrible for the big man. Fifth year and all. That’s a painful injury. Recall Adreian Payne suffering through this some years ago.
