Bison report saying BA has a hamstring injury
Soft tissue injuries like strained hamstrings are usually more problematic for RBs than at other positions. That's what's kept Leonard Fournette out the majority of this year for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course the severity can vary greatly from player to player and injury to injury but I wouldn't be shocked if it keeps him out this week and I'm sure Klieman will play coy about it at his presser today ("We'll work him out as the week progresses and see where he's at..."). If he can't go this week hopefully it's a game or two at most that he's out.
I don't think Brooks is too beat up. He was good enough to come back against WIU after sitting out the UNI game and didn't seem any worse for wear. I would guess between Dunn, Brooks, and Cofield they can handle the load and Klieman even mentioned on the coach's show yesterday that they're comfortable with Brock Robbins carrying the ball some as well. Maybe they'd dress Clark and Wilson in the case that there's another injury but there's still plenty of RBs to share the load I think.
If the Bison would commit to 12 or more carries for Cofield Im betting on him going for BIG yards!!! He's got the IT factor when I see him run.
