Young Outside Linebackers Tested As Injuries Pile Up

Related Topics: Lynden Trail, Junior Galette

With a plethora of injuries at outside linebacker, players such as Lynden Trail are trying to take advantage of increased reps to fill the void left by others.

It was a thin group at outside linebacker for Saturday’s practice, a product of a series of injuries, the most devastating of which came early in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Ravens, when Trent Murphy was lost for the season with a torn left ACL.

Murphy walked off the field with the help of trainers in serious pain and learned of his fate after an MRI.
