Syracuse Gets One Safety Back, Another Suffers Injury /

In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football had a scary situation during training camp last week. Safety Ja'Had Carter was taken off the field on a stretcher and sent to the hospital. Head coach Dino Babers said at the time he had feelings in his limbs, but did not elaborate further. One day later, Carter was back at practice though he was dressed in street clothes.

On Tuesday, Carter participated in practice in full pads and appears to be good to go moving forward.

"If he's in white, he's 100 percent," Babers said.

While that was the good news in the secondary, the bad news was that fellow safety Jason Simmons suffered an injury and his status is uncertain in the immediate future.

"We've got to see," Babers said.

Wide receiver Isaiah Jones, who had a strong spring and was continuing that early in training camp, was back after being out with an injury. Babers said he could play week one. That would be good news for the Orange as Jones appeared poised to earn a spot on the two deep prior to the injury.

The season opener against Louisville is less than three weeks away, and the Orange continues to prepare during camp each day.

"Camaraderie, staying together, pushing each other, sharpening other," Babers said of the preparation. "Iron versus iron."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
