Jalen Thackeray lost for the year to an Achilles

Turbines

Jalen Thackeray is hurt again, and this time it is an Achilles and the whole season. That is his season.

The ledger, after four seasons: 3,546 yards, twenty-one scores. There was a 1,194-yard year in there. This is not it.

Twenty-six, and Cinderbrook, Pennsylvania before that. Around the building he says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. He was converted from linebacker in his second professional season.

Turbines are 7-5 through thirteen weeks. Roman Speight is new. He is out of contract after this.

He will not step on the painted logo at midfield, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 13 of 1993. The rest of the season is there too.
