Husker FB - Spring Practice

via Huskerextra.

The injury bug has again bit Husker CB Zach Bowman, who suffered a yet to be determined knee injury yesterday in non-contact drills. Bowman, who suffered an ACL injury to one knee last year, did not reinjure the same knee, which is the only good news about the situation.

On another note, RB Kenny Wilson also suffered a freak injury while still recovery from a staph infection this spring. He apparently broke his leg while moving a television set, and has already had surgery in an Omaha hospital. It is likely that Wilson will miss the 2007 season. Wilson's injury is likely to make Major Culbert's move from safety to RB a permanent one.

One some positive notes, juco transfer QB Zach Lee appears to be recovering nicely from his winter knee surgery, has started to run a bit and might be able to participate in drills toward the end of the spring practice sessions. Fellow frosh QB Patrick Witt and frosh RB Marcus Mendoza appear to both be picking up the Husker offense quite well, and Mendoza is said to have added about 10 lbs (up to 185) since entering school in January while maintaining his 4.4 40 speed.
