Preseason, Day 9: Injury Update


The Brown team has been incredibly fortunate this preseason, as few players have sustained serious injuries and many have been able to play with minor ones. The latter fact is due, in part, to the handy work of athletic trainer Matt Culp, pictured here wrapping Isaac Jabola-Carolus '11's ankle for the sixty-eighth time this week. Jabola-Carolus's near-perfect attendance in the training room has been surpassed only by the chronically ailing Laurent Manuel '08, diagnosed with sore forearms (too many pull-ups), an eternally bad back, and an unknown upper hamstring injury that apparently requires daily treatment with a deep tissue stimulating "massage gun." Hey, we're not asking questions.

Also among the mildly injured:

Steve Sawyer '08 - Strained quadricep (day-to-day)
Iain Eldgredge '10 - Strained groin (day-to-day)
Chris Roland '10 - Strained hip flexor (missed last five days or preseason, hoping to return soon)
Kevin Davies '08 - Cut toe, sustained during team trip to local swimming swamp (see Preseason, Day 8).
