Injury Update: That's no Fracture

1250984.jpeg

Turns out a shadow was masquerading as a clavicle fracture, and wide receiver Landis Williams will return to Maine's lineup for Saturday's 2:30 p.m. game against Massachusetts.

Williams (42 yards on four receptions) missed last week's game at Villanova when an X-ray technician thought his clavicle was fractured.

Team doctors weren't so sure and X-rayed Williams again this morning.

And? The offending shadow was gone.

"He's back. I feel great for the kid," said Maine Coach Jack Cosgrove. "He was devastated."

Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
excellent-gas-mileage
Honda Civic to prove it.


Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
