Syracuse football faces an injury concern at wide receiver as the potential second-stringer experiences a leg fracture; a player who was fondly compared to Wes Welker within the team.
Syracuse Football's Darius "Boobie" Johnson Sidelined with Fibula Fracture
Darius "Boobie" Johnson, a freshman wide receiver for Syracuse football, has suffered a fibula fracture during practice, according to preseason coverage in August 2025. The specific details about his current status and recovery progress are not yet available, but a fibula fracture typically requires several weeks to months of healing.
Johnson, who was seen with a bright blue cast on his lower right leg and navigating the practice field via a scooter on Monday, will be sidelined for the next five weeks. His injury leaves a gap in Syracuse's wide receiver depth and overall offensive options.
The Syracuse football team is currently focusing on defensive improvement, as two 4th-down failures have highlighted the need for a stronger defensive performance. Despite Johnson's injury, several Syracuse alums have shone in weekend football action in the NFL preseason, although specific details about their performances were not provided.
Meanwhile, David Reese, a transfer to the Syracuse football team, is making strides in his eighth year of eligibility. Kyle McCord, another alum, played in the NFL preseason debut with the Philadelphia Eagles, but information about his performance was not disclosed.
The practice field, located in Syracuse, N.Y., remains the team's training ground as they work towards improving their defensive skills and adjusting to the absence of Johnson. The team's resilience and determination will undoubtedly be tested in the coming weeks, but their focus remains on the field and achieving success.
