Sean Chambers, Montana State Football News: Draft Scout Player News

10/28/20 - RB Sean Chambers, rSr/2024, Montana State

At a game that had nearly no fans in attendance, the University of Wyoming found its own energy in the form of Sean Chambers, even though he was unable to play the majority of the game. The redshirt sophomore quarterback and team captain was knocked out with a fibula injury just three plays into Saturday's 37-34 overtime loss at Nevada. A UW spokesperson said it is potentially a broken fibula, and UW coach Craig Bohl said the injury could ultimately be season ending. It would be the third consecutive season Chambers has seen his season end prematurely due to leg injury, as he broke his right ankle as a true freshman again Air Force, and suffered a left knee injury against the Wolf Pack in 2019 that required surgery. Chambers was carted off the field but returned to the sideline, where he sat on the bench and stood on crutches for the remainder of the night without his pads or helmet in sight.

Following his return to the bench, a group of wide receivers, including junior Gunner Gentry, embraced Chambers. He couldn't impact the game with his arm or his legs any longer, but Chambers was able to inspire his teammates just by being there. When the game went to overtime, it was Chambers, crutches and all, who came to midfield to call the coin toss. "It just really goes to show the kind of person Sean is. He's a big team first guy. He really will serve others before he serves himself," Gentry said. "And that really goes to show, the way he came out on the field even though he was still in a ton of pain and still hurting, he still came out and supported us. "He was locked in the whole game. He was vocal, he was energized. Just having that, I think, was huge. Just showing us that, no matter what, you can fight through anything." - Wyoming Tribune Eagle
