LARAMIE — It might be flu season, but the most contagious issue currently plaguing the Wyoming football team is injuries to defensive tackles.
Four different Wyoming starting tackles have been injured at some point this season. First it was Sidney Malauulu, who remains sidelined with a knee injury. Then it was Youhanna Ghaifan, who has returned since injuring his foot at Utah State. Conner Cain started in Malauulu's place and suffered a season-ending ankle break at Boise State, and true freshman Ravontae Holt, who started in his place, tore his ACL in the first half of Wyoming's win last week against Colorado State.
