USC Saturday Buzz: A Five-Star Injury

Sophomore defensive tackle Jahkeem Stewart is apparently on crutches with a foot injury and expected to be out 3-4 weeks.

Remember, Stewart underwent surgery last November for a stress fracture in his foot that bothered him throughout last season.

The question now is whether this is going to be a recurring injury and something to be concerned about even after he returns. He was fighting for a starting job during training camp. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that he gets healthy and the situation with his foot gets resolved.

  1. Not good. Plus he was a leader on the team in terms of toughness, work ethic, giving 100%.

    He had surgery last year so it would seem unlikely it is a reoccurrence of the same issue. But at 295 lbs, that is a lot of load on those small foot bones…

  2. KAM:; That says something about SC’s newly founded depth, that a guy like Stewart was fighting for his starting job

    DON: It shows what being competitive in the NIL market can do for a team

  3. Speaking of the great John McKay —we should pre-arrange a day where we all get blasted and post whatever crazy, stream of consciousness crap comes to mind [maybe for our opener]….

  4. DON: With SC it is always about the porous defense.

    KAM: I know how the offense can help the defense. Have at least a 10-point lead at all times during the 4th quarter

  5. DON: Apparently the Dodgers owner is using the money from his Lakers sale to help with his sinking insurance business

    KAM: The Dodgers need a billionaire owner just to pay the salaries. Ohtani has a 7/10 of a billion contract and the new guy has a 1/4 billion agreement

      1. KAM: The bililonaire owners were trying to use the Dodgers as the reason for locking out the players until they surrender to having a salary cap.

        DON: But if the Dodgers were built on fraud then the owners argument disappears in a puff of smoke!
