IN has quotes from Josh's coach Christy Krall:
No timetable for Farris' return from concussion
U.S. bronze medalist suffered injury on hard fall during summer practice
Hope Josh knows that he has the strong support of many GS fans.
His tweets from yesterday are posted in the U.S. Men thread.

Excerpt:
... according to Krall, Farris had a bad fall on a quadruple toe loop in practice in the middle of July in Colorado Springs and "snapped his neck back, like whiplash."
"I didn't see it happen," Krall said. "But about a half hour afterward, he came up to me and said he wasn't feeling right and he headed over to the (U.S. Olympic Committee's) Training Center.
"He had some headaches and just didn't feel right," Krall added. "He felt jittery and nervous. Three weeks later, he came in and did a double axel and he didn't fall, but when he landed, he said something wasn't right, and he hasn't skated since. We're being very aggressive on his treatment and he's healing. ..."
Krall said that Farris has not been on the ice since.
Krall, who is known for studying the science of the sport, stressed that right now, Farris "needs the fan's support." .....
