Another Fresno State freshman has gone down with an injury, the Bulldogs losing running back Justin Rice with a broken bone in a foot.
Rice went down midway through the first practice of fall football camp in a non-contact drill and it was not thought at the time to be a serious injury – but coach Tim DeRuyter confirmed Friday that Rice would be out for six to eight weeks, which could make him a candidate to redshirt this season.
“You can’t predict the future and if we get some injuries down the road maybe we’ll have to (bring him back), but right now that’s probably the likely scenario for him,” DeRuyter said.
