Duke had its first fall football practice Friday.
Nothing unusual about that. It is the first week of August, after all and Duke is scheduled to have its first gave in five weeks, visiting Notre Dame’s fabled stadium.
Duke also had a media availability Friday, reviewing that first day of practice.
Again, nothing unusual.
And we found out that two Duke players would miss the 2020 season.
Unfortunately, nothing unusual about that. Football is a collision sport and injuries are a part of the deal. After last fall’s first practice we learned that quarterback Gunnar Holmberg would miss the season with a knee injury.
