Syracuse two-sport athlete Calvin Russell III will miss an indefinite period of time after sustaining an undisclosed injury during spring football practice, the program announced.
Russell, who splits his time between football and basketball for the Orange, also played for Syracuse’s basketball team this season. The school did not provide details on the nature of the injury or a timetable for his return.
What it means for Syracuse
Russell’s absence is a notable development for a Syracuse program that has leaned on his versatility as a multi-sport contributor. With spring football practices serving as a key evaluation period ahead of the upcoming season, the Orange will move forward without one of their two-sport athletes while he recovers.
No further updates were provided beyond the team describing his status as out for an “indefinite period of time.”
