Texas junior RB Roderick Bernard suffered another significant injury that puts his remaining career at Texas in doubt per a source close to the Longhorns staff.
We will have more details if they become available, but as of now, we've been told that the injury occurred outside of football - and the strong indication was that it was the same knee which Bernard, one of the team's fastest players, injured in his 2014 freshman season versus Kansas State. Bernard returned for the 2015 season and played in 10 games. According to the source, there is a feeling that Bernard's days of playing at Texas are likely over. The staff reportedly feels that Bernard's health is now of primary concern and no one wants to put him at further risk.
I'm currently on vacation, but received this news along with a few other team notes; and felt I should pass the nugget regarding Bernard along ASAP.
