The Boise State football team's top wide receiver will be limited in practice as the Broncos open spring ball on Friday. Khalil Shakir is still rehabbing after an injury he suffered during the Mountain West championship game last December against San Jose State. Boise State football coach Andy Avalos didn't go into the specifics about the injury Thursday, describing it as a "lower half injury," but he did say it required surgery. Shakir is one of just two starters who will not fully participate as spring practice opens. Shakir led the Broncos led season with 52 catches for 719 yards and six receiving touchdowns. - Idaho Statesman
