SEATTLE (AP) — Washington outside linebacker Zion Tupuola-Fetui will miss the next six to 10 months after tearing his Achilles tendon in practice. Washington coach Jimmy Lake says the Huskies are not yet ruling Tupuola-Fetui out for the entire 2021 season. He is expected to undergo surgery later this week. Tupuola-Fetui was a revelation in his first season as a starter for the Huskies despite playing just three games last fall. He had seven sacks and 13 tackles. He also forced and recovered one fumble.
