The video board had been lowered in Charles Koch Arena for the video shoot. It’s unclear how exactly Bear-Chandler might have injured himself, though Marshall said players might have been “horsing around” following the shoot.
The freshman did not suit up in WSU’s public scrimmage on Saturday. Marshall revealed news of the injury following Saturday’s scrimmage.
“You know you have a young, inexperienced, and sometimes dumb team when you do stuff like that,” Marshall said.
Bear-Chandler reportedly entered Friday’s practice with a black eye. Marshall said he asked him where the black eye originated, and Bear-Chandler did not reply.
Marshall said Bear-Chandler started experiencing headaches, and has since been placed under concussion protocol.
