Bison All-American Cole Wisniewski out for 'significant' time

What happened?

Cole Wisniewski went down with a left leg injury in the third quarter of the Bison's FCS quarterfinal game against Samford.

He was helped off the field and did not return.

It was later revealed that he had suffered a torn ACL.

How long will he be out?

Wisniewski is expected to miss the rest of the season and will likely not be available for the start of next season.

Bison head coach Matt Entz said that Wisniewski will likely be out for a "significant" amount of time.

What does this mean for the Bison?

Wisniewski is a key player for the Bison and his absence will be a big blow.

He is one of the best offensive linemen in the FCS and his injury could hurt the Bison's chances of winning a national championship.

NDSU has a bye this week before opening up the FCS semifinals against Montana State on December 10.
