Desmond Hensley returns diminished

Desmond Hensley DL
Timberjacks

Desmond Hensley is cleared. That is not the same as recovered. He lost 11.2 points of ability and will not get them back.

Fifty-four sacks and zero interceptions across eight seasons. He has done it in three buildings.

He is twenty-nine, out of Auckland, New Zealand. Ask anybody: he talks constantly and means about half of it. Nobody planned any of it. He was undrafted out of Pitchfork A&M, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

Timberjacks are 7-9-1 through eighteen weeks. Kellen Norwood is in year eight of it.

He has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 18 of 2022. The rest of the season is there too.
