WR Joe Holder breaks fibula in William & Mary game

 

Update (Sun, Oct. 7, 10:20 PM): Holder told me it's actually his fibula that is broken, not the tibia. A broken tibia would mean no chance of a comeback, but a fibula break gives him a chance at a comeback. - Megan Soisson

Penn wide receiver Joe Holder broke his tibia in Saturday's 34-28 loss to William & Mary, and he's likely out for the season.

Early in the fourth quarter, quarterback Andrew Holland launched a pass intended for Holder, but the pass went wide and Holder went down on the play. He hobbled off the field and did not return to the game.

Al Bagnoli announced in the postgame press conference that he broke his ankle, but in fact Holder broke his tibia.

Holder stayed confident though, and tweeted this after the game:
