Jimmy Clausen Hides Black Eye, Practices With Visor

If you buy something from a link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

The Jimmy Clausen-got-punched saga rolls on. Yesterday, it was a series of reports saying Clausen was punched in the face by an irate fan at a South Bend bar after the Irish’s ugly loss to Connecticut. (Clausen may or may not have initiated the altercation.) It’s generally accepted that Clausen has a black eye, but few have been willing to go on the record with that assertion. Today, Clausen practiced with a dark visor, which he doesn’t customarily wear.

↵In other words: Yes, Jimmy Clausen got punched. Yes, this punch led to a black eye. Yes, this story is basically over now. Let’s all move along, shall we?
