If it weren’t for bad luck, Jared Poplawski would have no injury luck at all.
According to the Boulder Daily Camera, head coach Mike MacIntyre confirmed this week that Poplawski suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder. The tight end sustained the injury during a practice session late last week.
As a result of the injury and subsequent surgery, Poplawski will be sidelined for the entire 2018 season. Poplawski had rehabbed a torn ACL this offseason after injuring the knee late during the 2017 season.
“His knee is fine, but he tore his shoulder,” MacIntyre said according to the Daily Camera. “It’s a shame.”
Poplawski was a three-star member of the Buffaloes’ 2017 recruiting class, rated as the No. 27 tight end in the country and the No. 9 player at any position in the state of Arizona. He was limited to nine games played as a true freshman because of the torn ACL he suffered Nov. 11 against USC.
