Though the Arizona Wildcats had to cut short spring practice back in March because of the coronavirus pandemic, that didn’t stop athletes from working out on their own to stay in shape and be ready for when activity resumes.
That includes players who had yet to join the program, such as incoming freshman linebacker Jabar Triplett, who was doing his best to maintain his physique at home in Louisiana. Unfortunately, that led to an injury that will keep him sidelined for the 2020 season.
Triplett announced Thursday he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in a workout earlier this week, an injury that has since been surgically repaired.
