You never want to see a teammate go down with an injury. But you have to be ready if that teammate is the guy ahead of you on the depth chart.
That was the case for UConn Huskies wide receiver Mason Donaldson when Hergy Mayala went down early against the East Carolina Pirates on Sunday. with what head coach Randy Edsall said is most likely a “high ankle sprain”.
Mayala was UConn’s leading receiver in the two games before he went down with the injury. But with the all hard work Donaldson has put in, he was going to split time with Mayala during Sunday’s game.
