11/1512:30pmCody EndresQB Out For Year ShoulderStarting QB Endres has elected to have season ending surgery on his shoulder after he suffered a sprain of the AC joint in week nine.  The injury is similar to the one that shut Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford down for the year.  Zach Frazer has been elevated back to the #1 spot on the depth chart.  He began the year as the starter before losing his job to Endres when Frazer went out due to injury.  Frazer has been largely ineffective in short bursts as the starting QB this season.

11/018:08pmRobbie FreyRB Out For Year ShoulderFrey is done for the year due to a torn labrum that he suffered in week nine against Rutgers.  An occasional ballcarrier with 5 rushes for 60-plus yards and two TDs this season, Frey did his best work as the primary kickoff returner.

09/285:43pmKelmetrus WylieRB Out ArmReserve RB Wylie is out for 4-6 weeks after breaking his arm in week four.  The reserve running back was the primary backup to Jordan Todman.

Three redshirt freshmen remain on the roster at tight end; Ryan Griffin and John Delahunt have separated themselves from the pack according to HC Edsall. Both are big and physical and could help out the offense tremendously.
08/2512:11pmJohn YurekS Out For Year KneeReserve safety John Yurek suffered a knee injury and will miss the 2009 season. RS freshman Jerome Junior will solidify his role as backup to 2nd TM BE stud Robert Vaughn at free safety.

Jones missed the final two games of the season (including SEC Championship Game) and is questionable for the Sugar Bowl.  Jones had earned the starting SLB position ahead of fellow junior Brandon Hicks, but it appears that Hicks will start at SLB.  Jones is sixth on the team in tackles with 37.

09/159:11amDesmond ParksTE Out For Year RedshirtTrue freshman TE Desmond Parks will likely redshirt due to a slow-healing dislocated kneecap.  Parks was supposed to be the back-up TE behind starter Aaron Hernandez, but the injury set his progress back several weeks.

11/2310:54amKeiland WilliamsRB Out For Year AnkleSenior RB Keiland Williams will miss the rest of the regular season with a significant break of a bone in his ankle, according to head coach Les Miles.  He is out for the season with the injury.  Williams entered the season as the primary back-up to fellow senior Charles Scott--who is also out for the season with an injury--before taking over as the starter when Scott went down.
11/0110:42amAkiem HicksDT Out UndisclosedJunior DT Akiem Hicks has missed four straight games and is out indefinitely.  Hicks was supposed to be a major contributor for the Tigers this season as a defensive lineman, but injuries and illness has sidelined him for much of the season (has only played in one game in 2009).  Hicks is a JUCO transfer participating in his first season with the Bayou Bengals.
09/1411:17amRichard MurphyRB Out For Year KneeJunior RB Richard Murphy will likely miss the rest of the 2009 season with a serious knee injury.  The reserve RB is listed as the No. 3 RB on the depth chart behind All-SEC performer Charles Scott and speedster Keiland Williams.  Says head coach Les Miles: "I'm saddened that Richard Murphy will probably not make the next game and maybe the next game. It's sad to have a quality, young back get hurt, but those things happen."
09/126:50amTim MoltonWR Out For Year Left teamRedshirt freshman WR Tim Molton left the LSU program for unspecified reasons.  Sources believe that Molton was disappointed with his decline on the depth chart after sustaining two knee  injuries.  Molton was named a back-up WR to true freshman Rueben Randle, the No. 1 prospect at his position coming out of high school.
08/145:27pmSidell CorleyDE Out For Year TransferCorley was released from LSU's football program and will now look into an immediate transfer to Alabama or Auburn to be closer to family. Corley's father said his son plans to apply for a hardship waiver from the NCAA to allow him to play this year.

08/095:21pmShomari ClemonsLB Out For Year Left TeamSophomore LB Clemons left the football program this past spring saying he felt the stigma of a 2008 arrest forever clouded his reputation at the school. He was arrested on misdemeanor charges of shoving a police officer and disturbing the peace. "I needed to go somewhere and get a fresh start, just get away from there," he said. Clemons was No. 2 at MLB behind senior Jacob Cutrera. That job will now most likely be filled by true freshman Kevin Minter or redshirt freshman Kyle Prater.

12/269:52amDelvin JohnsonDT Out AnkleJohnson will not play in the Little Caesar's Bowl on 12/26 due to an ankle injury.  The once key defensive lineman has seen action in only five games this year due to various injuries, so The Herd are used to being without him.
12/269:47amDarius MarshallRB Probable AnkleMarshall sprained his ankle in week 11 and couldn't play on Nov. 21 against SMU or on Nov. 28 against UTEP, however he's expected to start in the Little Caesars Bowl on Dec. 26 against Ohio.  The star RB has rushed for over 1,000 yards and 11 TDs on the season as the focal point of the Herd offense.  Martin Ward has received the second most carries but is yet to get consistent work this year.
12/148:03amRobert HenryTE Questionable UndisclosedHenry suffered an undisclosed injury in week 12 and did not play in the regular season finale on Nov. 28 against UTEP.  He should be considered questionable to go in the Little Caesars Bowl on Dec. 26 against Ohio.  With top TE Cody Slate out for the year, Henry was elevated into a starting role.  Without him, the Herd are extremely thin at the TE spot.
12/148:01amCourtney EdmonsonWR Questionable LegEdmonson is questionable to play on Dec. 26 against Ohio in the Little Caesars Bowl due to a leg injury after failing to play significantly since injuring his left leg during Marshall's first game against Southern Illinois.  Originally a starter at wide receiver, The Herd have turned to Antavious Wilson, Chuck Walker, and Wayne Bonner to fill the void and all three are playing well.
11/206:25pmCody SlateTE Out For Year KneeSlate has been lost for the season after a tear in his ACL was discovered following what was thought to be a minor knee injury.  When healthy, Slate is the Herd's top TE, and frequent target on offense.
09/248:12amTroy EvansWR Out For Year FootJunior WR Evans will not play again this season after breaking his foot in week three.  Evans, who provides depth in the Marshall receiving corps when healthy and also sees time as a kick returner, will take a redshirt and keep two years of eligibility.  Highly regarded freshman Michael Rhynes seems like the most logical candidate to replace Evans, however Marshall may want Rhynes to keep his redshirt and look elsewhere for help.
09/248:09amJohn SaundersFS Out For Year NeckSaunders was carted off the field on a backboard in week three.  While he did have movement in his extremities and was able to give a thumbs up to the crowd, he is not likely to be able to return to the football field this season.  Saunders had made 14 tackles on the season.  Omar Brown is his most likely replacement in the starting lineup.
08/127:16pmJosh EvansOL Out For Year TransferJunior OL Josh Evans decided to transfer from Marshall citing personal issues as the main reason for leaving. Senior Landis Provancha is listed No. 2 on the depth chart although the Oregon transfer has no game action as a part of the Thundering Herd.

12/228:56amJason FoxT Out KneeSenior LT Jason Fox will miss the Champs Sports Bowl (Wisconsin) after having surgery on his knee.  Fox missed the USF game with an irregular heartbeat, but this new injury does not appear to be related to the irregular heartbeat issues.  The senior tackle made 47 starts for the Hurricanes, which is third most in school history.
12/0710:02amEric MoncurDE Questionable Lower extremitySenior DE Eric Moncur is battling a lower extremity injury that kept him out of the previous five games.  He is questionable for the Champs Sports Bowl.  Moncur has missed two games earlier this season with a groin injury.

10/1612:29pmRichard GordonTE Out For Year ArmSenior TE Richard Gordon had his right arm in a sling during the Sept 9 practice and has not played since.  He is ruled out for the season by head coach Randy Shannon.  Senior Dedrick Epps (last year's starter) and former UM basketball player Jimmy Graham have been stepping up in Gordon's place.
10/1612:28pmAdewale OjomoDE Out For Year JawDE Adewale Ojomo had surgery in mid August for a broken jaw and is out for the season. HC Randy Shannon, who confirmed Ojomo had surgery but would not disclose the injury, reiterated after practice that the sophomore was hurt "horsing around in the locker room." Shannon said Ojomo, who started three games last year and is one of the bright young stars at defensive end, is out indefinitely. Shannon repeated that Ojomo was not suspended for any reason.
10/1612:28pmMarcus ForstonDT Out For Year Lower extremitySophomore DT Marcus Forston missed the FAMU game and is out indefinitely.  Forston missed the VT game (Sept 26) with a lower extremity (ankle) injury but returned for the Oklahoma game.  There is a good chance that he will redshirt this season according to head coach Randy Shannon.  Forston was considered the top defensive lineman on the Canes roster and one of the top DLs in the ACC entering the 2009 season, but he has struggled with injuries this season and has yet to record a tackle. 
10/1311:27amRyan HillCB Out For Year Upper extremitySenior CB Ryan Hill missed the FAMU game with a shoulder injury and is likely out for the season.  The senior reserve defensive back made five starts (in 13 total games) at CB last season, making 34 tackles.  Hill has already missed one game this season (FSU) with a shoulder injury and currently qualifies for a medical redshirt (has only played in three games).
10/1311:25amDyron DyeDE Out For Year Lower extremityTrue freshman DE Dyron Dye missed the Oklahoma and FAMU games with a lower extremity injury.  He is likely out for the season according to head coach Randy Shannon.  Dye is a reserve DE for the Hurricanes in 2009.  His injury affects Miami's depth at the position, with Andrew Smith battling back from an injury and Eric Moncur also trying to fight back from a preseason injury.
10/1311:04amJordan FutchLB Out For Year KneeSophomore LB Jordan Futch will miss the rest of the season with a severe knee injury.  Futch had started two games for the Hurricanes and was an important performer on special teams.  Fellow sophomore Sean Spence will continue to start in place of Futch.

08/175:12pmMichael CannonWR Out For Year KneeSenior receiver Michael Cannon will miss the entire 2009 season after tearing his ACL early last week. Cannon caught six passes a year ago. With the dismissal of Eldred King, HC Stockstill is looking for depth from incoming freshmen. Stockstill stated he liked what he saw from Richard Drake and that Drake has a slight edge over Arthur Wililams.
08/136:39pmTravis LilienthalC Out For Year DismissedRedshirt freshman Travis Lilienthal has been dismissed from the team due to a violation of team rules. "This football team has strict rules and standards that we expect to be followed on a daily basis," said HC Stockstill. "We wish him well in his future endeavors."

11/153:41pmDan OrseskeP Questionable MonoFreshman punter Dan Orseske has mononucleosis and has missed the last eight games. He is questionable to play at Iowa. Senior Blake Haudan has taken over the punting duties.
10/274:58pmEric DeckerWR Out For Year FootDecker may need surgery to fix the arch he sprained at Ohio State and is out indefinitely. If he doesn't need surgery he might be able to play in a bowl game. The senior ranks second in the B10 and eighth nationally with 758 receiving yards. The last time Decker went down with an injury the Gophers lost their next five games. Sophomores Troy Stoudermire, Brandon Green and Da'Jon McKnight have not taken advantage of opportunities the past two weeks, but somebody is going to have to step up.
09/2010:19pmMike RallisS Out For Year LegRallis broke a leg in the second quarter of the Cal game (week three) and will miss the remainder of the season. The sophomore is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday. HC Brewster said the loss of Rallis is a tough blow. The Gophers were already without senior Tramaine Brock and are extremely thin behind starters Kyle Theret and Kim Royston.
08/0911:53pmTramaine BrockS Out For Year AcademicsBrock will not play for the Gophers in 2009. Brock left school for academic reasons in January and was expected  to return in time to play this fall. But he was unable to improve his academic standing enough in the ensuing six months to become eligible. Brock started all 13 games last season after transferring from Mississippi Gulf Coast CC. He finished third on the team with 73 tackles and also had an interception, adding some toughness to a defense that was one of the worst in the nation the year before he arrived. Kim Royston, who sat out last season after transferring from Wisconsin, will likely step in to fill the void.

10/088:14amRickey ThenarseS Out For Year KneeThenarse will not play again this season after suffering a knee injury on the opening kickoff.  The loss greatly thins Nebraska's depth at safety, as now redshirt freshmen Courtney Osborne and P.J. Smith as well as sophomore Austin Cassidy are in line for more playing time than perhaps Pelini is comfortable with.  Larry Asante and Matt O'Hanlon serve as the Huskers' starters at safety.
08/255:44pmKody SpanoQB Out For Year KneeBackup QB Kody Spano tore an ACL for the second time in four months and will miss the 2009 season. The sophomore had competed with junior Zac Lee for the starting job during the spring before injuring the knee. This injury is a big loss for the Cornhuskers considering the lack of experience behind Lee. It likely means that heralded freshman Cody Green will be ticketed for duty with the team this season and probably has killed any hopes of redshirting him. The Cornhuskers also have converted linebacker Latravis Washington and freshmen Ron Kellogg Jr. and Taylor Martinez in camp.
08/255:39pmMatt HoltLB Out For Year ShoulderSophomore LB Matt Holt will miss the 2009 season with an injured shoulder. The reserve's injury might come at a position where the Huskers can afford it. They still have five linebackers with some playing experience coming back for the upcoming season.
