For the second time in a week, Duke’s roster has taken an injury hit.
Duke announced over this past weekend that rising redshirt junior linebacker Brandon Hill underwent arthroscopic surgery this past Friday to repair unspecified damage in his right knee. A couple of days later, the football program acknowledged that rising redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Jacob Rimmer underwent surgery on Monday to repair an unspecified injury to his left shoulder.
As was the case with Hill, Rimmer will be sidelined indefinitely as he rehabs from the medical procedure.
Coming out of high school in Tennessee, Rimmer was a three-star member of the Blue Devils’ 2017 recruiting class. After redshirting as a true freshman, the 6-7, 295-pound lineman played in three games this past season.
