Reece Vander Zee is back on the field.

For the second straight year, Reece Vander Zee was sidelined with a foot injury. This time it wasn’t something that simply happened. The sophomore wide receiver said the preseason foot injury was more of a gradual issue that reached a significant point just before the start of the season.

The foot issue required him to miss the first five games of the season, but he returned to action this past Saturday against Wisconsin, catching three passes in the contest. He talks about that process of returning and his chemistry that developed during fall camp with starting quarterback Mark Gronowski.
