I will say, I’m kind of shocked to see that Chase Hendricks has posted/reposted things about the bowl game and is interacting with posts about in on Instagram. To me that suggests he plans to play.
Why wouldn't he? Players play. Gives me a chance to showcase himself for whatever comes next.
50 yards away from a 1K season.
He's playing.
It may not change who is chasing (ba dum ts) him, but being that close to a milestone like that, you can't turn your back on.
(Unless someone slides him a big ass check in the next few weeks and say it's contingent on you not playing)
