Backup corner and dimeback Will Blackmon suffered his second significant injury of the season, and his fourth in two years, when he broke his foot at the end of practice yesterday. The injury will put Blackmon on the bench for the remainder of the season, and puts his future in question as he has only managed to be elligible for half of the games of his pro career.
Blackmon started his first NFL training camp last year by breaking his foot, 4 games after his return to the active roster last year he broke a rib and was done for the season. This training camp Blackmon broke a finger and needed a cast, which turned into a club on gamedays, but he played in the first four games and was doing well, until yesterday.
The injury leaves Tramon Wiliams and Frank Walker to fill his shoes in the dime package. Williams is already returning kickoffs, and now may see an expanded role in the defense as well.
What better team to cut your CB teeth on than the QB-less Bears. Maybe he can get a pick or two and gain the confidence he needs to be a star.
Stranger things have happened.
