Duke... In game chatter

[Rollout-the-Barrel]

I think from where the pad was, Ox didn't have a shoulder dislocation but rather an AC sprain - also a "shot" before the game could help the AC joint but wouldn't make sense if there had been a dislocation.

Agreed. AC joint sprain or slight separation, which is better than a dislocation.

I can tell you from experience that a dislocation requires a sling to prevent the arm from coming out again and you are looking at 6 - 8 week before rehab can start.

based on my experience this is correct.  I've dislocated my shoulder twice (most painful thing I've ever experienced).  If Ox had dislocated his shoulder he'd be out for a good part of the season.
