Mika's Eye Injury Update

[twistedredbird]

Spencer Linton ‏@Spencer_Linton 8h Hearing Eric Mika's eye injury involves scratched cornea(s). Eyes and surrounding area swelling up pretty badly. Lots of red & purple. #BYU

Good thing is a scratched cornea heals pretty quickly. May miss a game, but from what I understand heals in a few days. Good news from my perspective.

I get teh scratched cornea from time to time, just from abusing my contacts too much. He's going to want to stay in a dark room for a couple of days, I feel bad for the guy.

Yeah, that's a tough injury to hear about for a fanbase. I hope he gets better quickly.

Dude's a beast. I'm love to see him v McGary in a 1-on-1 matchup.

 

[MNCyGuy]

Glad it's nothing too serious, all things considered.

Mika's a heck of a player. He matched up with our guys much better than I thought he would and played a really good game.

RIP...

Good to hear.

Good to hear. I wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[GMackey32]

Hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

 

[clonehenge]

Great to hear...I was worried it was something worse because it looked bad and he looked like he was in a lot of pain. Felt bad for the kid.

Glad he's going to get better. Still have a hard time feeling too bad for him after he got nothing for the elbow clear out.

Hope Milan gets well and I hope Kane reaches out to him which I'm sure he will. BYU will have a great year we may see them again.

Non slow mo, now with 50% more BYU announcer homerism:

Thanks for the update. Regardless of how they played or who won, you never want to see these young folks sustain serious injury. I'm glad to hear that it's a relatively minor injury.

That was the ref's fault, not the BYU player's.

 

[keepngoal]

Im glad the accidental injury isn't a serious one. Best wishes and heal quick.

Thats more on the refs though and less on Mika. He was being overly aggressive just like Kane.

 

[Go2Guy]

I hope he heals fast and I'm sorry they had to lose a good player at an important time of the game. Was he just a freshman???

 

[ThatllDoCy]

Glad his eyes are going to be OK. Had to hurt like heck.
