Here's how my story about safety Zac Etheridge starts for today's newspaper:

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn safety Zac Etheridge will miss the rest of the season after suffering a neck injury against Ole Miss and his future in football is uncertain, head coach Gene Chizik said Sunday.

Etheridge injured his neck while trying to make a tackle in the first quarter of Saturday’s 33-20 victory against the Rebels. He was immobilized and taken to East Alabama Medical Center before being transported to a Birmingham-area hospital Saturday night.

“In talking to the medical people, I think everybody’s hopeful for a full recovery,” Chizik said.

“I don’t know where that goes,” he said. “We’re talking about full recovery as a person.”
