Paulson injured

Gophers tight end Jake Paulson left Saturday's 38-22 win at Northwestern early with an injury.

The sophomore limped off the field, barely putting weight on his right leg, after a collision on the Gophers' opening drive. He was carted off the field, with KFAN reporting during the radio broadcast the player would go for X-rays on his ankle. Paulson appeared on the sidelines in the second half back in street clothes and leaning on crutches, his right foot in a boot.

The starting tight end did not play in the Rutgers or Maryland games either with an injury. He's made four receptions for 81 yards this year but contributed more in blocking, helping the offensive line with protection. Junior Ko Kieft took more reps in Paulson's absence.


Go Gophers!!
 

He's a good blocker. Would like to see him beat the he!! out of some badgers.
 


Was on crutches and in a boot.
Going to see more Kieft and Spann-Ford.
 

This hurts for sure...he's been devastating in the run game at times this year. That said, he's missed plenty of time with injury and we've seen Kieft, BSF, and even Witham perform admirably. Gophers started using the 6 OL formation more often as well. I wish Paulson could play because I want MN at 100%, but I doubt it'll be the difference in the game.
