This is a super unfortunate situation for the Gophers and Ibrahim. He was balling out Thursday night before he went down.
Now, his entire season is over after less than a full game in the books. It’s a cruel reminder that football is a dangerous sport.
Will be OK in long run but not this season. By video, clear left Achilles tendon rupture. Fairly classic. Season over and surgery. https://t.co/tUFeWjF6om

Hopefully, Ibrahim is able to bounce back after surgery and return better than ever. You never want to see anyone get hurt, especially a guy with so much potential.
He was supposed to be a monster weapon for the Gophers this season, and he certainly looked the part before getting hurt Thursday.

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that he is able to eventually return to 100%.
