Here’s a feel-good story for a Wednesday morning.

Buffalo punter Evan Finegan, who broke his leg during a blocked punt attempt by Penn State’s Journey Brown, is back on his feet, according to his social media account. He said in a tweet that Tuesday was his first day back walking, and shared a video to document the moment which can be seen below.

Finegan had surgery to repair a broken right leg on Sept. 8, one day after the Lions topped the Bulls 45-13 at Beaver Stadium. He returned to Buffalo on Sept. 10, and said in an interview that he holds no ill will toward Brown.

“Everyone’s trying to make a play," Finegan told The Buffalo News.

I don’t hold anything against him. It’s part of a violent game and I’m in a vulnerable position at times.”

Penn State coach James Franklin and members of the special teams unit visited Finegan during his hospital stay in State College. The Buffalo News reports that the punter could be back on the field as soon as spring practice in 2020.

“Obviously the injury of the Buffalo player, Evan, you never want to see that happen in college football, really any sports,” Franklin said on Sept. 10. "Got a chance to go over and see the family and the young man, and seems to be doing well.

“I think that kicker/specialist/long snapper community is tight. They all know each other, especially our guys who are over there supporting him, as well. We wish him and his family nothing but the best and a speedy recovery.”
