Unfortunate news struck the Houston Cougars this weekend, which will certainly have lingering effects felt next fall.
On Friday, the Houston Chronicle’s Joseph Duarte first reported that Houston running back Alton McCaskill suffered a serious non-contact leg injury in practice that night. Then on Saturday, McCaskill confirmed in a statement on Twitter that he tore his ACL in his left knee:
The ACL recovery schedule varies between athletes, with a general return timetable ranging from eight to nine months. Thus, it is possible McCaskill misses the entirety of the 2022 season.
