because he is aiming for the NFL draft that'll probably be kept hush hush
I'm sure the NFL scouts will never find out...
It's weird b/c Freeman on Friday night made it sound like Mills would be back (he was walking/limping on the sidelines during the game, not, like, in the locker room), even said "it's not season-ending." And then the next day it was season-ending. Similar to the BenMo situation where one day he was playing and the next he was done for the year.
I realize they're not obligated to tell the public much but when a key player's status suddenly changes like that, a little transparency isn't the worst thing in the world.
