By Scott Eklund, Dawgman: Husky Nation got bad news on Wednesday as head coach Jimmy Lake informed the media that starting BUCK linebacker Zion Tupuola-Fetui will likely miss the entire 2021 football season with an Achilles injury. The fourth-year player suffered his injury last Friday during a team-session as he appeared to get tangled up with some other players. He was carted off the field that day and has not been seen since.
Lake said that Tupuola-Fetui will have surgery this week and the expected recovery time would be 6-10 months.
