MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — This time a year ago, David Long was slowly jogging around the practice field while teammates knocked each other around during camp. He was recovering from a torn meniscus and wasn’t healthy until the season’s fifth game.
Last spring, it was more of the same for Long, slowly running along the sidelines and working on the spin bike while he recovered from minor shoulder surgery.
Nowadays, as West Virginia digs into preseason camp, Long no longer saunters the sideline. Instead, he was popping pads with his linebackers group as a full participant.
