Whit Wombold returns diminished

Copperheads

Whit Wombold is back from the MCL but has lost a step, and his durability grade has fallen to Fragile. He lost 10.9 points of ability and will not get them back.

Four sacks and zero interceptions across five seasons. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.

Chicago, Illinois is where he is from. He is thirty-three. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. Nobody planned any of it. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go.

Copperheads are 8-9 through eighteen weeks. Gravy Trubisky Jr. is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 18 of 2008. The rest of the season is there too.
