Fresno State running back Ronnie Rivers is ahead of schedule coming back from a foot injury suffered during spring practices and he could be ready to go well ahead of the initial prognosis — which was six to eight months, the latter third of the 2018 football season.
That is a positive for a program that has more than a few on its side headed into 2018, but it could also pose a conundrum for coach Jeff Tedford and the Bulldogs’ offensive staff, who have a deep backfield and a balance-between-classes issue at the position.
“It may be that he’s even able to do stuff before the end of camp, but we’ll see how his progression goes with his rehab,” Tedford said.
