Maryland football has been burdened by injuries this season, with six players suffering season-ending afflictions since the spring. But this week, head coach Mike Locksley will have three key members return from short-term impairments.
Running back Anthony McFarland Jr. and quarterback Josh Jackson are both back at “full 100 percent,” Locksley announced at a press conference Tuesday.
“They’re at 100 percent in terms of their expectation to play this Saturday,” Locksley said. “It’s good to be able to have both those guys back as weapons for us from an offensive standpoint.”
McFarland was dealing with a high ankle sprain that kept him limited in practice for the last four to five weeks, though he only missed a full game against Indiana.
