I'm actually for liberal use of the Medical..

It offers a player an opportunity to finish his degree if he is unable to play up to his potential due to injury or recurring injuries. This would include guys like Cory Robinson who could have played but chose not to do so due to concussion issues. We had a linebacker who took a medical last year, kid from Pittsburgh I believe. He could have probably given it a go but again I think it was a recurring injury and he chose to move on from Football.

I don't know what Ewell's injury is, I tried finding out but I couldn't find out what it was. But unless this is a total fabrication, like a Workers Comp Scam, I am totally ok with him saying No Mas Coach I don't want to play anymore and moving him to a medical hardship, even if maybe he could have played if he worked hard on his rehab and stuff like that.
