Va Tech Qb broken collarbone Sept 7, Is a game time decision to start this week. I guess Tony's age Is a factor?

That's about 5 weeks time for the VA QB. Aikman came back after 5 weeks with the same injury. I think he was 31 when that happen.

Isn't the collarbone different than a clavicle? Collarbone is in front, clavicle on the back?

You were thinking scapula.

I broke mine the 2nd game of a 12 game softball season. played the next game took about 4 months to fully heal and I still can't rest all my weight on that shoulder for really long periods.

I also makes a difference in where the break occurs on the bone, apparently (I'm no medical guy, just stating what I recently read). Tony's break occurred more toward the end of the bone whereas Troy's break was more in the middle. Those in the middle supposedly heal a little faster.
