My feeling on injury is it's a little like S. Jackson's last year. You can play on it at 80% (give or take), or you can get surgery and have a good chance to recover fully. If you have NFL aspirations and can still redshirt, the latter choice probably makes the most sense. If you can't redshirt or just like playing behind a super deep D-line with all seniors starting, maybe you go ahead and finish your career at a sub-optimal level. EDIT: note this is pure speculation on my part. It could be a completely different deal.
I'm still not sure about the redshirt rule. From my quick read I feel like the rules say Noah could get a redshirt, but my credence in LC's posts, plus the fact that S. Jackson only played in two games last season IIRC, makes me uncertain.
