Shane McElrath - Wrist
Comment: McElrath broke his wrist about two months ago and got the pins removed last week. The team still isn’t sure exactly when he’ll be back on the gate, but word is his recovery is going well so far.
Jessy Nelson – Banged Up
Comment: Nelson had a big crash during the week and was taken to the hospital for evaluation. The team didn’t return our inquiries regarding his status for the weekend, but a recent post on the team’s Instagram, while open for interpretation, didn’t confirm he’d be racing in San Diego.
In light of @jessynelson13 's recent crash on Tuesday all MRI and CAT scans have come back negative and fortunately no major injuries were sustained. Jessy’s recovery will be taken on a day-by-day basis to ensure he will return to racing at his full potential. We look forward to cheering Jessy on to another podium finish in the near future.
Jackson Richardson - Shoulder
Comment: Richardson injured his shoulder at the opener and has opted to undergo surgery to repair the damages "that have been giving him trouble for a while," he announced on social media. There is no timetable for his return.
