For anyone who missed it, the Gophers lost star running back Rodney Smith to injury during the first series of this past Saturday’s game against Fresno State. Since that moment, Gopher fans have been anxiously awaiting final word on his status.
Here’s what we know for sure as of lunchtime Monday:
- The injury appeared to be non-contact. Rather it appeared to happen when Rodney was making a football move.
- It’s been termed as a “lower extremity” injury with no specifics given regarding whether it’s the knee or the ankle which has been injured.
