Word is that Tyrone will be taking the medical redshirt for the 2006 Football Season. Last report says that he is still using his cruches, however he is doing some walking on his own. His rehab is going well and he has been seen catching the football on a couple of occasions. There is talk that it is a possibility that Tyrone may play towards the end of the season, however this has not been confirmed. I would imagine this would depend on his training and rehab.

This is sad news for those of us die hard Prothro fans. I personally was so looking forward to seeing Tyrone out there kicking some serious butt, but I can wait another season if I have too. As a sister of a former football player, I know how difficult it will be for Tyrone to sit on the side lines and feel helpless in the fight for every win.

Keep working hard, Tyrone! We will miss you this season, but looking forward to seeing you out there doing your stuff!
