That's a shame.  But also not much info.

Could he theoretically apply for an injury redshirt in this scenario?

 suppose possible, but I doubt he will. He still has 4 years to play. That would only make sense if he planned to redshirt again.

I think the injury red shirt is only granted at the end of your senior year. I think I remember that from Otule’s doctorate year.

Perhaps explains why he wasn't participating in warm up drills prior to the game on Saturday like he usually does.

I saw Eke during warmups on Saturday and it was pretty obvious to me that he was hobbled by something.  Guess this explains in.

Edit: not sure if he was actually warming up (I was distracted by the 8-year old kid running weave drills with Rowsey) but he ran in with the team during warmups.  He was limping then.

I noticed he was limping pretty good in pregame warmups in Maui.  Clearly this has been bugging him awhile, but I certainly didn't think it was his back.
