Joseph Bertrand Had Shoulder Surgery

He'll miss most of the offseason while recovering.

USA TODAY Sports

Joseph Bertrand is going to play a much larger role for the Illini next season and what will be his senior season is already off to a rough start. You know that shoulder injury that was bothering Bertrand for the last month or so of the season?

Yeah, well, Joe had surgery on that shoulder.

The good news is that he'll be more than healthy in time for next season. The bad news is that he's not going to be able to work on his game much this offseason. Still, while this is not good news, it's much better to have Bertrand missing time now than during the season.
