Brandon Lingen‘s injury-plagued season continues. Or, more accurately, has come to an end.
Citing people familiar with the situation, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that the Minnesota tight end will miss the remainder of the regular season. Lingen sustained a left foot injury in last Saturday’s game against Purdue.
On the weekly injury report, Lingen is listed as out for this weekend’s game against Illinois. Beyond that, the school has not addressed Lingen’s status moving forward.
Lingen had missed three games earlier this season with a broken clavicle. That issue helped limit him to three catches for 28 yards on the year.
A starter in 10 of 12 2015 games, Lingen was third on the team with 33 receptions for 428 yards. He was named honorable mention All-Big Ten.
With Lingen injuries, Nate Wozniak (eight receptions, 92 yards) and Colton Beebe (5-42) have taken over the bulk of the responsibility at the tight end position.
