One of the top Quarterback prospects in the 2011 NFL Draft will be sitting out this weekend, possibly more. Washington’s Jake Locker was banged up against Stanford last weekend and has some rib injuries to show for it.
“He took a couple pretty good shots (against Stanford) as you guys probably saw that kind of escalated this thing to a whole another level for us,” Coach Steve Sarkisian told the Seattle Times on Monday. “It’s unfortunate. I know Jake wants to be out there in the worst way, but this is the right thing to do.
“He was pretty shook up about it. Jake is a courageous guy, a competitive guy, extremely loyal. The thing that bothers him the most is that he feels like maybe he’s letting his teammates down, and his team, they don’t feel that way at all about it. They understand that, ‘Man, this is the right thing to do for him, this is the right thing to do for us as we continue to move forward.’ Hopefully we’ll get him back here in a few weeks for the UCLA game.”
The Huskies next play November 18th against UCLA on ESPN.
