People are interpreting this Instagram post to mean he's possibly out for the year. Could be premature but ...
Dylan Raiola Injury Status
- Thread starter Removed Spleen of Jordan
- Start date
Horrible news, but if there's a silver lining, it will remove the Raiola vitriol and rally everybody to Lateef as we go to the Rose Bowl, 50 miles from where TJ played HS football. It'll be quite the story this week.
The coaches are going to talk with Lateef to see where he stands on redshirting this year (as he's only played in 3 games.) If he's good to go to burn it he will be the starter the rest of the year. Otherwise he'll start this Saturday and try to get that 7th win. And then shut him down until the bowl game as bowl games don't count against your redshirt.
This makes that Northwestern win a big moment in the season.
Praying that DR won't be discouraged, but he seems like someone who will get through this setback quite well.
Yet more weight will be placed on EJ. Please keep him healthy!
Looking for a silver lining: maybe DH can break out some new schemes for UCLA that will keep them off balance. Lateef can run plays like some of our more recent QBs. Let's break out a few option plays!
They will have to settle him down some... and it won't be easy when he's playing a few miles from where he went to high school.

Well everyone that has been calling for Lateef will now get the chance to see what he can do (maybe). Guess we will see how good the young man really is. I hope he is AWESOME!!!
Sorry didn't mean to mislead, choose to play or not, thanks for the sharp eye.
Well crap. I broke both my lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) playing football and it was a long hurdle coming back. I still have a crooked left leg however both of mine were displaced. I hope Dylan's break is either is more of a hairline crack or at least close to being in-line. The good news for him is the fibula is not a load bearing bone (that honor goes to the tibia) and it is slender so the healing time should be shorter. Still, we have it for a reason and should take no risk of making things worse.
That's what I thought last night when he went in. He'll get even more reps now. Hope he's ready!
GO BIG RED!!!
He will play this week as it's only his 4th game. If TJ wants to R/S probably Gramstead would start after UCLA.
