The Fighting Ostriches
Jamarcus Knucklebone walked off under his own power and did not come back. It is a broken forearm, and it is the rest of the season. That is his season.
4,929 yards over five seasons. Thirty-one touchdowns. Fifty-five games. He got to 1,542 once. Not this time. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.
Twenty-eight, and Muddy Creek, Kentucky before that. He keeps his own counsel and his own hours. He was found at a regional combine by a scout whose flight had been cancelled.
The Fighting Ostriches are 1-3 through four weeks. Rico Norwood is in year twenty of it. He is out of contract after this.
Knucklebone keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.
