Eye on the Y: The injury bug is bouncing around the Cougar football and men’s basketball teams

It seems that the injury bug is still going around, affecting football and men’s basketball in a major way.

After the Cougars’ football loss at Toledo, Micah Simon said the team’s main priority during the bye week would be to simply get healthy. Three days after the road game, it was confirmed that quarterback Zach Wilson had surgery on his right (throwing) hand and will be out 6-8 weeks.

That’s the latest blow to a team that lost starting running back Ty’Son Williams a week prior against Washington and linebacker Zayne Anderson to season-ending injuries.
