The news out of Tuesday evening's Illinois football spring practice didn't sound good.
Mikey Dudek had suffered another knee injury.
New Illinois coach Lovie Smith was vague on details, but almost a year to the day Dudek saw his 2015 season end before it started with a torn ACL, the thought of him sustaining his second knee injury in 12 months doesn't sit well.
What does this mean for Illinois in 2016 if the standout wide receiver misses some time? What other Illini players are ones that can't afford to get injured?
