So, this is a bit of encouragement in what’s a dark time for most.
Master Teague is continuing to improve his Achilles. Teague’s injury would’ve forced him to be sidelined during the highly-anticipated spring game had it taken place.
J.K. Dobbins’ backup in 2019, Teague still put numbers that rivaled starting running backs on other Big Ten rosters. He did that much in limited snaps and is the projected starter for 2020.
He will have competition though, one reason he needs to quickly gain his strength back. With graduate transfer Trey Sermon in the backfield as well, Teague will likely be splitting carries again.
It certainly doesn’t bode well for his playing time if he isn’t ready at the start of team workouts. But, there’s apparently a positive feel around the team that he’ll back soon.
According to Land-Grant Holy Land, Day said that they are “hopeful” that Teague will have a quick recovery. Day went into praise the young back’s progress.
Day said injured running back Master Teague stayed local and is attacking his rehab to get back as fast as possible. Day called him "a genetic freak."

Teague accumulated 789 yards last season. Think about that for a second. A backup running back was 211 yards away from 1,000. His 5.8 average was strong, just like he is, standing 5-foot-11-inches and weighing 220 pounds.
That said, expect a quick recovery and more updates to come on Teague as he continues to mend.
