TCU LB won't miss start of 2010 season

FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU linebacker Tank Carder, the Horned Frogs' leading returning tackler, underwent successful arthroscopic shoulder surgery and will not miss the start of fall camp in August.

The second-team All-Mountain West Conference selection injured his shoulder during spring practice. Coach Gary Patterson initially feared that Carder might miss the start of the 2010 season, but that will not be the case, according to the TCU media relations department.

Carder, a junior-to-be, finished second in tackles last season with 89 -- 19 more stops than the next-closest Horned Frog. Sophomore-to-be Tanner Brock is projected to start alongside Carder. Linebacker Kris Gardner, who will be a junior, also was held out of spring workouts with a shoulder/arm injury.

TCU is coming off a breakthrough season, going 12-0 before losing to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, the Horned Frogs' first appearance in a BCS bowl game. TCU finished No. 6 in both major polls.

Let's hope this is the case because what I got straight from the horses mouth didn't sound as upbeat.

well he was supposedly walking around the banquet without crutches. must have a hell of a pain tolerance.

Yo could do that with a torn ACL, it just really depends.

I was talking to a customer on the phone this afternoon when I read the subject line Good News. While ending the call, I blurted out Good News! instead of good-bye. The customer was confused and I just hung up.

a day after tearing it? like i said before, you would have to have a hell of a tolerance. knowing the supervision given to the players, no doctor is going to remotely recommend that. after a couple of weeks when the swelling and bleeding goes down you can start walking again. i know this from experience.

bottom line is it was obviously bad info he was walking around.

I'm paranoid about how much injury information can be revealed on the board. Remember GP doesn't like injury reports on message boards.

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough through other means.

Good call...a little self-control is needed around here sometimes.
