Blake Corum did an interview with 247 yesterday evening where he said he has a "nagging" injury. He said, He'll "see if plays on Saturday" or not. So, what's he dealing with?
The consensus I'm reading is that he has a bone bruise to an area of the lateral femur that sticks out (the femoral condyle). You can feel it below your knee cap on the outside of your leg. Bones have similar properties to your skin. There are layers, three to be exact in bones. The outer layer is the periosteum - a bruise hear is often mild and heals quickly. Not likely what Corum is dealing with. The next two layers are the compact bone and spongy bone from outside to in.
A traumatic injury like Corum experienced when his femoral condyle was forcefully struck by a defender's helmet injured one or two of those inner layers of the bone. That type of injury causes blood to pool around the compact bone beneath the periosteum, called a subperiosteal hematoma. This leads to swelling around your bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. If bleeding occurs in the center, softer part of your bone, it’s an intraosseous bone bruise. That's a significant injury to an athlete that can be and, in Corum's case, is limiting.
These things are a pain - literally and figuratively. Their debilitating nature can last from weeks to months. We all saw Corum's left leg all bandaged up last Saturday. He may have been wearing a compact sports brace under the wrap. These things have gotten versatile in recent years and can be worn without impeding an athletes use of the knee but, at the same time, are protective to further injury. Obviously the pain must be pretty intense as he tried to go and just couldn't. It's not an injury that gets worse if you play but, like high ankle sprains, it can take a long time before you can play football without limitations, in Corums case, push off and cutting.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

There's no sense in even dressing Corum on Saturday. He needs proper time to heal. The national semifinal is 30 days away.
Also, I'm surprised there aren't more of these types of injuries considering players these days don't have any knee pads. They're basically wearing shorts out there.

Ripping English when he blitzes with PA, hitting deep routes, running JJ responsibly with ROs and letting Edwards and others do the dirty work behind great OL play is the pathway to a win. Leave Corum on the sidelines.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off.

Long enough that I know when to be confident and when not to be. I expected a blow out last year in Indy and Michigan delivered. Let's put it this way: I think we can all agree that Michigan is a deserving playoff team as of today. Worthy of the #2 ranking. What recent playoff teams would you be worried about beating Purdue on a neutral field?
