On Tuesday we all received some terrible, awful, no-good news. In a press release the IU football program announced that redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will miss not only the remainder of the regular season, but the postseason as well with an injury to his right sternoclavicular joint.
For those of you who may not know what exactly that is I, famously A Doctor (read: a person capable of using Google), can tell you that it’s the joint that attaches the sternum to the clavicle. Really put thought into naming that didn’t they?
Medical lingo aside this turn of events really does put a damper on things not only for the Hoosiers’ season, but for a young career that has limitless potential as well.
