PrintIn news that sounds much worse at first than it will end up being, Syracuse Orange safety Phillip Thomas has been held out of practice since breaking his jaw over the weekend.
Ow.
Thomas has surgery on his jaw Monday and " will return to non-contact drills over the next few days." We assume he won't be yelling very much for the time being as well.
The Syracuse Football God Law that at least one Thomas (#SHAMARKO or Phillip) must be injured at any given time seems to be in effect. Shamarko Thomas is healthy again, so...
In less good news, offensive lineman Nick Lepak sustained a concussion on Monday and will be out of action indefinitely. Lepak is currently penciled in as the backup right guard, behind Andrew Tiller.
Finally, walk-on linebacker Zack McCarrell has a hamstring strain from over the weekend and will be out action indefinitely.
Speedy recovery, everyone.

BROKE JAW?!?!?!
:’( NOOOOO
Fortunately it says he wont miss much time, which would make me think that he only dislocated it? I feel like a fracture could end your season, given the severity. Too many nerves around that area and such.

Surgery might mean screws were inserted.
He’ll be jawing at opponents in no time.
I certainly hope so!

I just talked to Phillip
and he said the doctor said he prove his jaw in four places. But he told me he feels fine and will be 100% by the opener.
Good to know
OUCH, though, FRIGGIN OUCH!!!

Umm, Sean
Don’t tempt God to injure any more of our players with comments like that.
I'm just sayin'
I wrote the “Get to Knows” for Lepak and McCarrell.
My pen doth forebear troubles. Or something. Whatever.
