Starting Guard Landon Tengwall has just announced his retirement from football due to an injury.

He is a redshirt Sophomore.  Hopefully he will be OK.

He will likely be replaced by JB Nelson, a rJR. 
This was kind of expected, no?  I heard he hadn’t participated in fall camp.  Is that correct?  As an aside, one of the guys who runs WVU’s 247 site said he saw Tengwall at a WVU camp when he was in HS and he was one of the best OL he’s ever seen at a camp.  Tough break.

He was a future NFL player for sure.

Yes, he was being held out of fall camp, but it was expected that he would play.  Physically, he was good to go.   it isn't unusual for Franklin to hold his star players out or give them a "safer" workload.  I don't think most realized how serious his medical situation was.  Apparently he has had recurring concussion issues, and it just wasn't advisable for him to continue football.
