Can Marcus Lattimore be redshirted?

I read Marcus Lattimore is out for the season with a knee injury. I'm not sure how the different color "shirts" work, but are they allowed to medical redshirt him or medical black/grey shirt, whatever it is....and him get an extra season? I was just curious how that worked

It probably depends on when he was injured:

"A special case involves the eligibility of a player who loses the majority of a season to injury. Popularly known as a medical redshirt, a hardship waiver may be granted an athlete who appears in fewer than 30% of his or her team's competitions (with none coming after the midway point of the season), then suffers a season-ending injury. A player who is granted such a waiver is treated for the purposes of their eligibility as though he or she had not competed in that season."
