The Badgers starting fullback Chris Pressley is likely out for the season with a very ambiguous "lower leg injury." Little has been leaked out this, so we have no idea what sort of injury Pressley sustained and thus far there haven't been any unequivical comments on whether or not his season is totally over.
On the Packers' side of the ball, fullback William Henderson underwent a knee scope today. Coach Mike McCarthy was supremely optimistic, saying Henderson could be back in 2 or 3 weeks.
Not bloody likely.
And not only are we without Henderson, but we have no one to replace him. The only candidate is a guy who flat out dropped two passes in the last preseason game.
What's likely is that we're looking at some halfback-cum-fullbacks and one back situations.
This loss is a big one, not just for talent, but because Henderson is truly one of the good guys. He's a renowned team player. He's solid and reliable and strong and has absolutely no ego. He's a rarity in a sea of big heads and individual performances.
Get back soon, William!
