Ugh. #Gophers star running back Mohamed Ibrahim will miss the rest of the season with a lower-leg injury that will require surgery, coach PJ Fleck announces.
Ibrahim was brilliant in Thursday's game against #OhioState before going down late in the third quarter.

Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim will indeed miss the rest of the 2021 season with a leg injury, Golden Gophers head coach PJ Fleck confirmed to the media Monday morning (via ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg).
Ibrahim suffered the injury in the second half of Minnesota’s season-opening loss to Ohio State, after he had already racked up 163 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
One of the top running back prospects in the country, Ibrahim will now face the decision of whether or not to return to the college ranks next season once he’s recovered from the injury, or make the jump to the 2022 NFL draft.
