What we learned from Chris Petersen: UW injury concerns, WR depth chart and more
Chris Petersen waited four seconds to say one word.
“Does Hunter’s injury history require you guys to manage his snaps differently?” the sixth-year Washington head coach was asked during his weekly press conference on Monday.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Wait. For. It.
“Yes.”
Petersen later explained that the UW coaching staff monitors everyone’s snaps, both in games and practices — not just those of 6-foot-2, 239-pound junior tight end Hunter Bryant. Still, considering that Bryant 1.) is a crucial, irreplaceable cog in the Huskies’ prospective passing attack, and 2.) missed 13 games in his first two seasons with knee injuries, the Eastside Catholic alum’s health is always going to be a concern.
