Fleck on Ibrahim: "I hope to have him back next week, [but he’s] day-to-day."

per Megan:

For the third consecutive game, Gophers sophomore running back Mohamed Ibrahim warmed up in full pads, only to not play.

Ahead of the Georgia Southern game in Week 3, Ibrahim endured a noncontact leg injury in practice. He was supposed to return after the bye week at Purdue, but he just checked into the game briefly without making a carry. Again ahead of Illinois on Saturday, Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said Ibrahim seemed likely to return.

But instead, seniors Rodney Smith and Shannon Brooks led the running game to its best performance all season.

“I thought we’d have him back by now,” Fleck said of Ibrahim. “We’re getting closer. I hope to have him back next week, [but he’s] day-to-day. I want to make sure he feels really good.”

That’s doesntsound day to day. Luckily the other guys seem relatively healthy and he can afford to lay low for at least the next 2-3 weeks.
