Duke’s spate of significant injuries has shown no signs of abating five weeks into the 2018 season.
Following a loss to Virginia Tech over the weekend, Duke announced that RB Marvin Hubbard III will miss the remainder of the 2018 season because of injury. Specifically, the redshirt freshman running back suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg during the loss to the Hokies.
Hubbard underwent surgery Sunday morning to repair the damage. A timeline for the back’s return to football activities has yet to be determined.
Through five games this season, Hubbard had carried the ball 30 times for 118 yards and a touchdown. The yardage is fourth on the Blue Devils and third amongst running backs.
