Nightshift
Zaire Hensley will miss the rest of the season with a knee. He reads Durable, which is what makes this one feel unlucky rather than inevitable.
He has 7,040 yards from scrimmage in five seasons, and forty-six touchdowns. He got to 2,030 once. Not this time. For two clubs.
Sable, North Dakota is where he is from. He is twenty-six. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. Nobody planned any of it. He was the second man taken at his position out of Saint Ambrose.
Nightshift, 1-4, and five weeks gone. Meatball Speight is in year fourteen of it.
Hensley has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.
