LONG Long Term Injury - Foot

2026 Outlook

Veteran defender had a great 2025 season, averaging a career-high 93 and playing 23 games. Question would have been whether this was an outlier and will he regress, but with Bowey's injury and other departures it's hard not to think he'll play a large role in 2026 once again.
