| 10/10 | 9:31am | Chris Jacquemain | QB | Out For Year | Suspension | Jacquemain has been suspended indefinitely from the Zips' football team for a violation of team rules. He will not return after his suspension. Sophomore Matt Rodgers has taken over the starting duties in place of Jacquemain. His backup will be either RS freshman walk-on Jared Wackerly or freshman Patrick Nicely. | | 09/23 | 11:43am | Cowles Stewart | OL | Out | Suspension | Stewart has been charged with felonious assault for repeatedly punching a man during a fight last month and has been suspended from the team.

|
Next game: Army at Temple on 10/17
|
| 10/04 | 10:06am | CeDarius Williams | FB | Questionable | Ankle | Williams has not played the last three weeks due to an ankle injury and is questionable to return on Oct. 10 against Vanderbilt. The starting FB was replaced by slot back Pat Mealy in formations with a fullback. Mealy has become the Black Knights' leading rusher this season. |
|
Next game: Baylor at Iowa State on 10/17
|
| 10/10 | 6:25am | Blake Szymanski | QB | Questionable | Shoulder | Szymanski, who is Baylor's #1 QB with sophomore Robert Griffin out for the season, suffered a bruised shoulder in week four's win over Northwestern State and was a late scratch on Oct. 3 against Kent State. HC Art Briles has not indicated whether Szymanski will be able to play on Oct. 10 against Oklahoma, saying only that he needs to "get better". Nick Florence got the start last weekend and would presumably do so again if necessary. | | 10/10 | 6:25am | Jay Finley | RB | Questionable | Ankle | Starting halfback Finley did not play on Sept. 26 against Northwestern State or on Oct. 3 against Kent State. He is questionable to return on Oct. 10 against Oklahoma. The star runner had 121 yards and a TD against UConn before leaving injured. Terrence Ganaway and Jarrod Salubi will continue to be the featured backs if Finley's injury remains. | | 10/06 | 6:30pm | Tim Atchison | CB | Probable | Hand | Starting CB Atchison broke his hand in week five against Kent State but is not expected to miss any time. HC Art Briles said he expects Atchison to play in a cast on Oct. 10 against Oklahoma, so consider him probable. | | 09/28 | 8:22am | Robert Griffin | QB | Out For Year | Knee | Griffin suffered a torn ACL in week four's win over Northwestern State and will not play again this season. The talented sophomore was initially injured on the first drive of the game when his leg bent awkwardly as he was tackled, but Griffin remained in the game until halftime with his knee heavily wrapped before being removed for good. Griffin was responsible for 28 total touchdowns as a freshman in 2008 and considered the Bears best hope of making a bowl game in 2009. Senior Blake Szymanski, who was the starting QB before Griffin arrived on campus, is slated to take over the starting spot. | | 09/28 | 8:21am | Mikail Baker | DB | Out For Year | Knee | Baker is out for the season after tearing his ACL in week four against Northwestern State. The senior defensive back sees action in nickle and dime packages, but perhaps his biggest contributions come on special teams, where he is the Bears top kick returner. | | 09/21 | 7:49am | Antareis Bryan | CB | Out | Foot | Starting CB Bryan, the most experienced member of the Bears secondary, is out 6-8 weeks after breaking a bone in his foot during week three's match-up with UConn. Bryan will replaced by the tandem of Clifton Odom and Mikail Baker. |
|
Next game: North Carolina State at Boston College on 10/17
|
| 10/09 | 9:05am | Ifeanyi Momah | WR | Out | Knee | Junior WR Ifeanyi Momah has been out indefinitely with a sprained right medial collateral ligament injury. It has been reported that Momah is healthy enough to play, but the Boston College coaching staff wants to redshirt him (which is why he isn't expected to play the rest of the season barring injury to other WRs). The reserve receiver caught 11 passes in 2008 for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns (second on the team last season). | | 10/09 | 9:04am | Austin Giles | DE | Doubtful | Back | Senior DE Austin Giles is experiencing back spasms and is listed as doubtful for the Virginia Tech game. Giles is the back-up to junior Alex Albright, who is expected to play. | | 10/09 | 9:02am | Okechukwu Okoroha | S | Out | Leg | Redshirt freshman FS Okechukwu Okoroha will miss the Virginia Tech game with an unspecified leg injury. Okoroha is the No. 2 FS on the depth chart behind junior Wes Davis. | | 10/09 | 8:57am | Roderick Rollins | CB | Probable | Hamstring | Senior CB Roderick Rollins could not go full-speed for the FSU game with a hamstring injury, but he vows to return to full speed against Virginia Tech (Oct 10). Rollins injured his hamstring during the fourth quarter of the Wake Forest game. The No. 1 LCB on the depth chart will be replaced by sophomore Isaac Johnson, who made a game-saving hit on WF's Riley Skinner during OT to preserve a win for the Eagles. | | 10/09 | 8:56am | James McCluskey | FB | Questionable | Achilles | Junior FB James McCluskey has battled an Achilles injury (and subsequent infection) for most of fall preseason camp and has missed the first five games of the season. He is questionable for the Virginia Tech game with an outside chance that he could see significant game action. In 2008, McCluskey rushed for 84 yards on 23 carries and one touchdown and also caught 19 passes for 123 yards. Senior DT Brendan Deska could see action at FB during McCluskey's absence. | | 10/09 | 8:54am | Will Thompson | LB | Doubtful | Shoulder | Sophomore LB Will Thompson missed the first five games of the season and is doubtful for the Florida State game. Thompson is listed as the No. 1 WLB on the depth chart. In Thompson's absence, true freshman Luke Kuechly has excelled. | | 10/09 | 8:53am | Alex Albright | DE | Probable | Ankle | Junior DE Alex Albright left the FSU game with an ankle sprain and did not return. His status for the Virginia Tech game is probable. Albright received treatment on his injured ankle for several hours on Sunday (Oct 4) and was upgraded on Thursday (Oct 8). | | 10/09 | 8:52am | Damik Scafe | DT | Probable | Shoulder/Neck | Junior DT Damik Scafe has been bothered by shoulder and neck injuries this week but has practiced. His status for the Virginia Tech game is probable. Scafe missed the Clemson game earlier this season with shoulder and neck ailments. | | 10/09 | 8:51am | Jordon McMichael | TE | Out | Leg | Junior TE Jordon McMichael is battling a leg injury that kept him out of the FSU game. He is ruled out for the Virginia Tech game. McMichael caught a 50-yard touchdown pass (the longest of his career) from QB David Shinskie during BC's win over WF. | | 08/10 | 5:33pm | Mark Herzlich | LB | Out For Year | Cancer | Herzlich has been diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer in his left leg. The ACC Defensive Player of the year is two months into an aggressive chemotherapy plan and will not play in 2009. The cancer gives him a five-percent higher chance of breaking his leg. "If it breaks, the cancer spreads," he said. | | 08/10 | 5:23pm | Dominique Davis | QB | Out For Year | Academics | Projected starting quarterback Dominique Davis was declared academically ineligible and will transfer out of the BC program. The QB position in BC is a bit chaotic. There are six QB's on the roster, NONE of which have taken an in-game snap from under center in their careers. Billy Flutie has played college ball - at wide receiver, punter and holder - but he will only get a handful of chances for "change-of-pace" snaps. Codi Boek played in every game last year, including four starts - at FullBack. The other four candidates are either true freshmen or redshirt freshmen. |
|
Next game: Cincinnati at South Florida on 10/15
|
| 10/06 | 9:52am | Robby Armstrong | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Starting LB Armstrong underwent season-ending knee surgery prior to Cincinnati's week five matchup with Miami (OH) and will not play again this season. Sophomore Alex Delisi was elevated into the starting lineup to replace Armstrong. | | 10/04 | 10:48am | Dominique Battle | CB | Questionable | Undisclosed | Battle did not play for the second straight week due to an undisclosed reason and will be reevaluated during the week six bye. In his stead, junior Marcus Bennett, who is primarily a wide receiver, will remain on defense and take over at CB. Bennett earned his first career start last week in place of Battle. | | 10/03 | 6:19am | John Goebel | RB | Out | Hamstring | Goebel remains out indefinitely with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action all season long. The redshirt freshman was in the mix for carries during fall camp but obviously now health is his only concern. | | 09/20 | 7:39am | Curtis Young | LB | Out | Knee | Cincinnati's defense suffered a huge blow when senior LB Young suffered a knee injury in practice leading up to week three's match-up with Oregon State and required surgery. Young is expected to miss 2-3 weeks while recovering. The Linebacker/DE hybrid started the first two games of the year, recording 13 tackles and a sack. | | 09/18 | 2:22pm | Malik James | DB | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore DB James has left the University of Cincinnati to return to his native California, ending his football career as a Bearcat. James played sparingly, primarily appearing on special teams in his one plus year on the team. | | 08/11 | 1:57am | Vidal Hazelton | WR | Out For Year | Eligibility | Projected starter and USC transfer Vidal Hazelton will not play in 2009 after the NCAA denied his request to become immediately eligible. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver caught 50 passes for 540 yards with the Trojans in 2007. Bothered by a high ankle sprain last season, he had only six receptions. Hazelton's addition could have given Cincinnati the deepest receiving corps in the Big East. The Bearcats still return Mardy Gilyard, a first-team All-Big East performer last year, and improving sophomore D.J. Woods. |
|
Next game: Arkansas at Florida on 10/17
|
| 10/10 | 2:40pm | Tim Tebow | QB | Probable | Concussion | Senior QB Tim Tebow is still on track to start against LSU according to head coach Urban Meyer and has been medically cleared to play. The Florida star participated in football activities on Oct 6 for the first time since Sept 26 (Kentucky game). Tebow is the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, a 2008 national champion as a starting QB, and is considered one of the top college players in the country in 2009. | | 10/09 | 11:56am | Dorian Munroe | S | Out | Knee | Senior safety Dorian Munroe tore his meniscus in practice and underwent surgery in late August. He has missed five games and is not quite ready for the October 10 game vs. LSU. Head coach Urban Meyer says that Munroe is "one week away" from returning to action. Munroe was projected to start in 2008 before tearing his ACL. This season, he was in a battle for a starting safety position with Major Wright before injuring the same knee. | | 10/09 | 11:54am | Brandon Antwine | DT | Questionable | Shoulder | Junior NT Brandon Antwine sustained a shoulder injury during the Kentucky game that is slow-healing. He is questionable for the LSU game. Antwine's injury leaves the Gators with one completely healthy starting caliber NT: sophomore Omar Hunter. | | 10/08 | 10:24am | Moses Jenkins | CB | Out | Concussion | Junior CB Moses Jenkins was knocked out of the Kentucky game (concussion) and has been ruled out of the LSU game. The reserve CB did not show proper signs of recovery from post-concussion symptoms. | | 10/08 | 12:08am | Matt Patchan | T | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Sophomore LT Matt Patchan will miss the remainder of the 2009 season after suffering a torn ACL during non-contact drills (Oct 6). Patchan is the No. 2 LT behind junior Carl Johnson. The loss of Patchan hurts Florida's depth at OL. | | 10/06 | 11:22pm | Marcus Gilbert | T | Probable | Elbow | Junior RT Marcus Gilbert is battling an elbow injury that is keeping him out of full contact drills this week (Oct 5). His status is probable, as he is being held out "as a precaution" (per Urban Meyer). Gilbert's health is of the utmost importance, as he is the primary blindside blocker for the southpaw QB, Tim Tebow. | | 10/06 | 11:16pm | Maurkice Pouncey | G | Probable | Shoulder | Junior LG Maurkice Pouncey is battling a shoulder injury that has kept him out of full contact drills this week (Oct 5). He is being held out of contact drills this week (per Urban Meyer) "as a precaution". His status for the LSU game is probable. Maurkice and twin brother, Mike, are vital to the Gators' rushing attack. | | 10/06 | 11:05pm | Mike Pouncey | G | Probable | Ankle | Junior RG Mike Pouncey is battling an ankle injury that has kept him from fully participating in practice this week (Oct 5). Head coach Urban Meyer says that Pouncey is being held out of contact drills for "as a precaution". His status for the LSU game is probable. Mike Pouncey is considered the top offensive lineman on the Gators' roster, and his absence would have a detrimental effect on the rushing attack. | | 10/06 | 10:58pm | Lawrence Marsh | DT | Questionable | Ankle | Junior NT Lawrence Marsh continues to battle a slow-healing ankle injury (high ankle sprain) that has limited his playing time. His status for the LSU game is questionable. Marsh is the No. 1 NT on the depth chart this season. | | 10/06 | 10:54pm | Deonte Thompson | WR | Probable | Hamstring | Redshirt sophomore Deonte Thompson is battling through a minor hamstring injury and has not appeared in an SEC game (Tennesse or Kentucky) in 2009. Head coach Urban Meyer says that Thompson has been cleared to return to full-speed practice (Oct 6). Thompson caught two touchdown passes against Troy on Sept 12 in the first half of a lopsided game (56-6). Senior Brandon James is starting in place of Thompson. | | 10/05 | 11:22pm | Justin Williams | WR | Probable | Flu | Junior WR Justin Williams should be ready for the LSU game after battling the flu the week of the Kentucky game. He did not play against Kentucky (Sept 26). Williams is a reserve receiver who is in his first season on offense for the Gators; he made 16 tackles as a safety in 2008. | | 09/27 | 8:01am | Brendan Beal | LB | Out | Sore neck | Redshirt freshman LB Brendan Beal is suffering from a sore neck that forces him to receive limited reps at practice. According to head coach Urban Meyer, Beal had separated himself from the rest of the reserve linebackers and had established himself as the No. 2 MLB behind All-American Brandon Spikes. Beal's injury further depletes the Gators' reserve linebacker corps. Beal has not played all season. According to the coaching staff, Beal is "likely to miss the next few weeks". | | 09/15 | 9:11am | Desmond Parks | TE | Out For Year | Redshirt | True 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. | | 09/09 | 9:06am | Andre Debose | WR | Out For Year | Hamstring | Highly touted freshman WR Andre Debose is out for the season after undergoing surgery to reattach a torn tendon. The Florida Gators coaching staff believes that Debose initially injured the hamstring during the track season of his senior year in high school. Meyer had hoped that Debose could play a "Percy Harvin" role in 2009 despite being a true freshman. | | 09/05 | 9:04am | Carl Moore | WR | Out | Back | Senior WR Carl Moore has missed practice since having an undisclosed procedure done on his back on Aug 18. Head coach Urban Meyer says this about Moore's injury: "I was worried about that one. I'd give you the term, but I don't know what it is--something about the nerves in his back. It's still going to be a little while until he's ready." Moore will miss the Sept 5 game against Charleston Southern and It is believed that his injury could be season-ending. The reserve WR gained 185 receiving yards as a junior in 2008. | | 08/25 | 8:25am | Paul Wilson | WR | Out For Year | Foot | Sophomore wide receiver Paul Wilson's football career came to an end August 7 when he suffered a second broken foot in less than a year. The reserve wide receiver was projected to play special teams for the Gators. Wilson will now seek a medical hardship. | | 08/07 | 6:55pm | John Jones | LB | Out For Year | Transfer | Seeking more playing time Jones has decided to transfer. The third team linebacker dressed for 13 games last season and saw action in all but two of those games as a member of the kickoff unit and as a reserve linebacker. |

Next game: Florida State at North Carolina on 10/22
|
| 10/09 | 9:23am | Daniel Gard | FB | Out | Knee | Redshirt junior FB Daniel Gard did not play against USF or BC and is ruled out for the Georgia Tech game. Gard, the No. 1 FB on the depth chart, began spring practice as a back-up FB to Marcus Sims, who transferred. | | 10/09 | 9:23am | Vince Williams | LB | Out | Back | Sophomore MLB Vince Williams missed the first five games of the season with a back injury and is ruled out for the Georgia Tech game. Williams is listed as the No. 2 MLB on the Seminoles depth chart. His injury opens the door for more playing time for Rechardo Wright. | | 10/09 | 9:21am | John Prior | T | Out | Knee | True freshman OT John Prior has missed the first five games of the season with a knee injury. He is ruled out for the Georgia Tech game. Prior is a reserve OL for the Seminoles in his true freshman season, but it appears he will receive a redshirt. | | 10/09 | 9:21am | Aaron Gresham | LB | Out | Knee | Sophomore LB Aaron Gresham has missed three straight games with a knee injury and is ruled out for the Georgia Tech game. The No. 3 MLB on the depth chart is suffering from an injured knee. His absence, along with the anticipated absence of No. 2 MLB Vince Williams, leaves the Seminoles thin at MLB. | | 10/09 | 9:19am | Patrick Robinson | CB | Questionable | Ankle | Senior CB Patrick Robinson sprained his left ankle during the Boston College and did not return. His status for Georgia Tech is questionable. Robinson is the No. 1 RCB on the 'Noles depth chart. His injury could open up the door for true freshman Greg Reid to receive more playing time on defense. | | 10/09 | 9:19am | Justin Mincey | DT | Questionable | Knee | Senior DT Justin Mincey missed the first five games of the season with a knee injury and has only recently began practicing for the first time this season (Sept 30). He is questionable for the Georgia Tech game. The senior starter at DT made four starts in 2008, amassing nine tackles (4.5 tackles for loss). | | 10/09 | 9:18am | Korey Mangum | DB | Probable | Shoulder | Senior ROV Korey Mangum practiced at full speed on Thursday (Oct 8), which is a sign that he will play in the Georgia Tech game. The No. 1 ROV has been battling a shoulder injury this week. Mangum is one of FSU's best defensive backs in terms of defending the pass, as he led the Seminoles in passes broken up (seven) in 2008. | | 10/04 | 12:50pm | Demonte McAllister | DT | Questionable | Ankle | True freshman DT Demonte McAllister has missed the first five games of the season with an ankle injury. His status for the Georgia Tech game is questionable. With fellow tackles Mincey close to returning and McCray returning, it is unlikely that McAllister will play against Georgia Tech. McAllister remains eligible for a redshirt. | | 10/02 | 11:26am | Antwane Greenlee | T | Out | Knee | Redshirt sophomore RT Antwane Greenlee suffered a Grade 3 sprain of his MCL. A timetable has not been set with regard to Greenlee's return. Greenlee was involved in a tight battle with sophomore Zebrie Sanders (2008 starter) and redshirt freshman Rhonnie Sanderson for the starting right tackle position. | | 08/10 | 5:09pm | Marcus Sims | FB | Out For Year | Transfer | Senior fullback Marcus Sims has transferred to N. Alabama. He started eight games in his three-year Seminole career. |

Next game: Georgia at Vanderbilt on 10/17
|
| 10/10 | 7:14pm | Marcus Dowtin | LB | Questionable | Finger | Sophomore LB Marcus Dowtin tore ligaments in the ring finger on his left hand against LSU. The reserve LB (No. 2 WLB behind junior Rennie Curran) underwent surgery on the finger and missed the Tennessee game. Dowtin is optimistic that he will return for the Vanderbilt game (Oct 17). | | 10/10 | 7:14pm | Akeem Dent | LB | Questionable | Hamstring | Junior MLB Akeem Dent missed the Arizona State, LSU, and Tennessee games with a hamstring pull and is questionable for the Vanderbilt game. Dent had filled in for previously injured starter Darius Dewberry at SLB (Dewberry has since returned to action). Dent is a major part of the Bulldogs' linebacker rotation, having made thirteen starts in his three seasons. | | 10/10 | 7:13pm | Kiante Tripp | DE | Questionable | Shoulder | Junior DE Kiante Tripp has missed four games this year with a slow-healing shoulder stinger. Tripp missed the Tennessee game and is questionable for the Vanderbilt game. The No. 2 LDE made three starts at OT in 2008. In his place, redshirt freshman Cornelius Washington (who has been impressive in practice) will see significant action. | | 10/10 | 7:10pm | Caleb King | RB | Questionable | Multiple | Sophomore RB Caleb King sustained a concussion and a fractured jaw during the LSU game and missed the Tennessee game. His status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable. According to head coach Mark Richt, King will not participate in football-related activities until he no longer exhibits post-concussion symptoms. King is the No. 2 RB on the depth chart behind fellow sophomore Richard Samuel. An increased workload for true freshman Washaun Ealey is expected. | | 10/10 | 7:09pm | Chad Gloer | CB | Questionable | Hamstring | Junior Chad Gloer missed the LSU game with a hamstring injury and did not play against Tennessee. His status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable. Gloer is a reserve CB and one of Georgia's best special teams players. | | 10/10 | 7:08pm | Tavarres King | WR | Questionable | Undisclosed | Redshirt freshman WR Tavarres King left the LSU game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. King missed the Tennessee game and is questionable for the Vanderbilt game. | | 10/10 | 7:07pm | Vance Cuff | CB | Questionable | Knee | Junior CB Vance Cuff sprained the MCL in his right knee during the third quarter of the Arkansas game and has not played since. Cuff, the No. 2 LCB behind senior Prince Miller, is questionable for the Vanderbilt game. | | 10/10 | 7:06pm | Quintin Banks | S | Questionable | Knee | Junior strong safety Quintin Banks has missed the entire season to date due to a knee injury suffered during the preseason fall camp. Banks' status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable, as he is still unable to change directions in a satisfactory manner (during practice). In Banks' absence, freshman Bacarri Rambo continues to see significant action. | | 10/10 | 7:06pm | Josh Davis | T | Questionable | Shoulder | Junior LT Josh Davis has not played this season despite being available since Week 2. His status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable. Davis is recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered in January that required surgery. Head coach Mark Richt seems optimistic that he could see action soon. Davis' availability is important with starter Trinton Sturdivant being out for the season and No. 2 LT Vince Vance being slowed by injury. | | 10/10 | 7:03pm | Bruce Figgins | TE | Questionable | Suspension | Junior TE Bruce Figgins missed the Tennessee game to serve out a six-game suspension for violating team rules. His status for Vanderbilt is questionable. The No. 2 TE on the depth chart is known more for his blocking abilities than playmaking abilities. Figgins started two games as a sophomore last year and recorded 32 receiving yards. | | 09/15 | 9:57am | Kris Durham | WR | Out For Year | Shoulder | Senior WR Kris Durham will redshirt this season after injuring his shoulder during spring practice. In 2008, Durham made four starts and caught 13 passes. | | 09/14 | 10:12am | Roderick Battle | DE | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Senior DE Roderick Battle will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a torn ACL. Battle, a starter for 22 games of his career, had three tackles this season. Says head coach Mark Richt: "It's just sad for Roderick first and foremost. But it's tough on us. It's why you recruit and train players. You try to get prepared for these moments. You don't want them, but you have to prepare for them." Battle will be replaced by sophomore Justin Houston, who is returning after his two-game suspension. | | 09/07 | 8:30am | Trinton Sturdivant | T | Out For Year | Knee | Mark Richt announced on Sept 6 that redshirt sophomore Trinton Sturdivant would miss the entire 2009 season with a torn ACL in his left knee. The starting LT tore three ligaments (including the ACL) in the same knee in 2008. Richt expects Sturdivant to recover fully in time for the 2010 season. It is believed that starting RT Clint Boling (seven starts at LT in 2008) could move over to LT to replace Sturdivant. | | 08/27 | 7:11am | Bryce Ros | TE | Out For Year | Toe | Redshirt freshman TE Bryce Ros suffered a career-ending toe injury during UGA's fall camp. He will seek a medical scholarship this season. | | 08/09 | 4:27pm | Tanner Strickland | OL | Out For Year | Shoulder | Strickland injured his shoulder in off-season workouts and will sit out the 2009 season. The backup lineman played in 13 games last year as a freshman. | | 08/09 | 4:24pm | John Knox | S | Out For Year | Transfer | Backup up safety Knox has decided to transfer to Georgia Military. He started two games his freshman season and had 8 total tackles. | | 08/09 | 4:22pm | Tony Wilson | WR | Out For Year | Ankle | Reserve wideout Wilson has been medically disqualified for the 2009 season due to an ankle injury. He started one game in 2008 before sitting the rest of the season out with injury. |
|
Next game: Hawaii at Idaho on 10/17
|
| 08/21 | 10:38pm | Virdell Larkins | S | Out For Year | Left Team | Senior safety Virdell Larkins has left the program, HC Robb Akey announced after Idaho's second scrimmage Wednesday. The third-year coach declined to give a reason for the departure of last year's leading tackler but did say it was an unfortunate situation. The Vandals have senior Jeromy Jones and junior Brandon Artz who might be able to fill in at the free safety spot. |
|
Next game: Louisiana Lafayette at Western Kentucky on 10/17
|
| 10/09 | 12:06pm | Marlin Miller | WR | Probable | Shoulder | Junior WR Marlin Miller missed the Nebraska game but is probable for the North Texas game. Miller is a No. 1 WR for the Ragin' Cajuns in 2009. His return will help improve the passing attack for ULL. | | 10/09 | 12:06pm | Jonathan Decoster | T | Probable | Rib | Junior RT Jonathan Decoster is probable for the North Texas game with a rib injury. The No. 1 RT sustained the injury at Nebraska (Sept 26). DeCoster was a third-team All-SBC performer in 2008. His immediate replacement, Colin Windsor, is ruled out of the North Texas game. | | 10/09 | 12:05pm | Richard Brooks | LB | Probable | Arm | Sophomore LB Richard Brooks has missed two straight games (LSU and Nebraska) with a broken bone in his left arm. His status for the North Texas game is probable. He has returned to practice (Oct 5) and was re-evaluated after the Oct 7 practice session. The reserve LB's injury further wears down the depth at LB for the Ragin' Cajuns. Brooks made five starts as a redshirt freshman in 2008. | | 10/07 | 9:32am | Kyron Benoit | LB | Out | Ankle | Sophomore LB Kyron Benoit injured his ankle during the first half of the Nebraska game and did not return. He is ruled out of the North Texas game. Benoit is a reserve LB for the Ragin' Cajuns (No. 3 MLB behind Antwyne Zanders and Richard Brooks). His absence, along with the injury to Brooks, leaves the ULL linebacker rotation thin for the UNT game. | | 10/07 | 9:23am | Colin Windsor | T | Out | Knee | Junior RT Colin Windsor missed two games earlier this season (K-State and LSU) due to a lingering knee injury and is expected to miss the North Texas game. Windsor is listed as the No. 2 RT on the depth chart. It is uncertain who will replace Windsor. | | 10/07 | 9:18am | Richie Falgout | WR | Probable | Ankle | Junior WR Richie Falgout missed three games with an ankle injury, but his status is probable for the North Texas game. Falgout returned to practice this week (Oct 5) and participated at full speed. The reserve WR is a big playmaker catching the ball (348 yards, 11.2 ypc in 2008) as well as throwing the ball (3-3, 3TDs in 2008). He threw a TD pass this season in a ULL win over Southern, making him 4-4 with 4 TDs in his career. | | 10/07 | 9:18am | Chris Richard | S | Probable | Ankle | Sophomore SS Chris Richard missed three games with an ankle injury, but he is probable for the North Texas game. Richard has returned to practice (Oct 5) and will be re-evaluated for the North Texas game after the Oct 7 practice. Richard amassed eight tackles as a true freshman in an injury-shortened season. His injury, along with the injury to fellow starting safety Gerren Blount, leaves the Ragin' Cajuns thin at the safety position. | | 10/07 | 9:17am | Gerren Blount | S | Probable | Leg | Senior FS Gerren Blount injured his leg against LSU (Sept 19) and missed the Nebraska game. His status for the North Texas game is probable. The No. 1 FS has returned to practice this week (Oct 5) and will be re-evaluated for the North Texas game after the Oct 7 practice session. Blount was fourth on the team in tackles in 2008 with 67. Next on the depth chart is junior Maurice Rolle. | | 10/07 | 9:16am | Lance Kelley | S | Probable | Back | Sophomore SS Lance Kelly played against LSU but re-aggravated his back injury and missed the Nebraska game (Sept 26). His status for the North Texas game is probable. Kelley is still transitioning to SS from WR, where he played in 2008. His injury, coupled with the injury to Chris Richard, leaves the Ragin' Cajuns thin at SS. | | 10/07 | 9:06am | Chris Masson | QB | Probable | Knee | Sophomore QB Chris Masson sat out the second half of the Nebraska game with a knee injury. His status for the North Texas game (Oct. 10) is probable. Masson is the No. 1 QB on the depth chart for the Ragin' Cajuns, and he has his team off to a 2-2 start in 2009. | | 10/07 | 9:00am | Chris Fisher | C | Probable | Shoulder | Senior C Chris Fisher missed the Nebraska game, but he is expected to return for the North Texas game.

didn't do anything wrong. He didn't violate any team rules. His heart
just wasn't in it any more," HC Dooley said. "We don't have a first and
second team now ... we just have four guys." |

|
| 10/10 | 9:00am | Akiem Hicks | DT | Questionable | Undisclosed | Junior DT Akiem Hicks missed the Georgia game with undisclosed ailments (did not travel with team). His status for the Florida game is unknown. 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). Head coach Les Miles does not have a specific timetable for his return, but he hopes the No. 2 DT will be ready to go against Florida (Oct 10). Hicks is a JUCO transfer participating in his first season with the Bayou Bengals. | | 10/10 | 9:00am | Lyle Hitt | G | Probable | Neck | Senior RG Lyle Hitt injured his neck during the LSU game and did not return. He was replaced by sophomore G (No. 2 LG) Will Blackwell, who played well in Hitt's absence. Hitt's status for the Florida game is probable, as head coach Les Miles does not expect Hitt to miss the game. | | 10/10 | 8:59am | Chancey Aghayere | DE | Questionable | Undisclosed | Redshirt freshman DE Chancey Aghayere is questionable for the Florida game after missing the Georgia game with an undisclosed injury.

Parsons is the No. 2 RG behind senior Lyle Hitt. | | 09/14 | 11:17am | Richard Murphy | RB | Out For Year | Knee | Junior 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.” | | 09/12 | 6:50am | Tim Molton | WR | Out For Year | Left team | Redshirt 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. | | 08/14 | 5:27pm | Sidell Corley | DE | Out For Year | Transfer | Corley 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. Corley was listed as a No.2 DE on the preseason depth chart Outside of 2008 1st TM SEC stud Rahim Alem the Tigers do not have any DE's with starting experience on the roster. | | 08/09 | 5:21pm | Shomari Clemons | LB | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore 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. |

Next game: Miami (FL) at UCF on 10/17
|
| 10/09 | 10:25am | Olivier Vernon | DE | Probable | Lower extremity | True freshman DE Olivier Vernon is probable for the FAMU despite a lower extremity injury. With the injuries to Steven Wesley and fellow true freshman Dyron Dye, Vernon could see some significant playing time against the Rattlers. | | 10/09 | 10:21am | Jake Byrne | LS/TE | Questionable | Illness | Senior LS Jake Byrne is questionable for the FAMU game with an unspecified illness. Byrne is also a reserve TE for the Hurricanes. | | 10/09 | 10:18am | Graig Cooper | RB | Questionable | Lower extremity | Junior RB Graig Cooper is questionable for the FAMU game with a lower extremity injury. Cooper was supposed to be the No. 1 rushing option for the Hurricanes this season, but it appears that Javarris James has assumed that role. | | 10/09 | 10:18am | Steven Wesley | DE | Doubtful | Lower extremity | Junior DE Steven Wesley is recovering from a lower extremity injury that has him doubtful for the FAMU game. Wesley is the primary back-up to sophomore Andrew Smith. His absence hurts depth at the DE position. | | 10/09 | 10:06am | Ryan Hill | CB | Out | Upper extremity | Senior CB Ryan Hill is expected to miss the FAMU game with a shoulder injury. 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. | | 10/09 | 10:02am | Marcus Forston | DT | Doubtful | Lower extremity | Sophomore DT Marcus Forston is doubtful for the FAMU game. Forston missed the VT game (Sept 26) with a lower extremity injury but returned for the Oklahoma game. Forston is considered the top defensive lineman on the Canes roster and one of the top DLs in the ACC. In his absence, the Hurricanes' run defense could suffer. Junior Josh Holmes will fill in for Forston. | | 10/09 | 9:56am | Lee Chambers | RB | Questionable | Leg | Sophomore RB Lee Chambers sustained a leg injury during Miami's victory over Georgia Tech (Sept 17). Head coach Randy Shannon would not go into specifics regarding the injury. Chambers did not play against Virginia Tech or Oklahoma, and his status for the FAMU game is questionable. In 2008, the reserve RB rushed for 116 yards. | | 10/09 | 9:56am | Dyron Dye | DE | Out | Lower extremity | True freshman DE Dyron Dye missed the Oklahoma game with a lower extremity injury. He will not play in the FAMU game. Dye is a reserve DE for the Hurricanes in 2009.

He is ruled out for the FAMU game with an unspecified arm injury.

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. | | 10/09 | 9:53am | Randy Phillips | S | Out | Arm | Senior FS Randy Phillips injured his forearm against Virginia Tech and missed the Oklahoma game. He returned to practice (Oct 6) but has been ruled out for the FAMU game. Phillips is the No. 1 FS on the depth chart in 2009 after missing most of last season due to injury. In his absence, Vaughn Telemaque (No. 1 SS) and Chavez Grant (No. 2 LCB) will have to step up. | | 10/09 | 9:52am | JoJo Nicolas | S | Out | Upper extremity | Junior SS JoJo Nicolas missed the Oklahoma game with an upper extremity injury. He returned to practice (Oct 6) but has been ruled out for the FAMU game.

He did not practice the week of the FAMU game. Hill, the No. 1 FB on the depth chart, is one of the top blockers on the team. True freshman Mike James filled in for Hill against Oklahoma and did an excellent job, so he is the likely starter against FAMU. | | 10/05 | 11:36pm | Shayon Green | LB | Out For Year | Torn ACL | True freshman LB Shayon Green will miss the 2009 season with a torn ACL. Green was expected to provide depth at the MLB position this season. | | 10/04 | 1:50pm | Levi Paalua | LB | Questionable | Upper extremity | Redshirt freshman LB Levi Paalua missed the first four games of the season, and his status for the FAMU game is questionable.

He is available for the FAMU game. The reserve OL participated on the scout team in 2008. | | 08/25 | 1:10pm | Taylor Cook | QB | Out For Year | Transfer | Backup QB Taylor Cook has decided to transfer to another school.

| 10/10 | 8:16am | Lamar Brumfield | LB | Probable | Multiple | Senior LB Lamar Brumfield played sparingly against Vanderbilt with ankle and foot injuries, but he should be ready to go against Alabama.

Brumfield is the No. 2 SLB on the depth chart behind junior Allen Walker. | | 10/09 | 12:03pm | Andy Hartmann | FB | Probable | Knee | Senior FB Andy Hartmann injured his knee during the SE LA game and missed two weeks (South Carolina and Vanderbilt). He is probable for the Alabama game. Hartmann is the No. 1 FB on the depth chart for the Rebels. Replacing him will be a host of players, including Dan Hoffman, Derrick Davis, and offensive lineman Mark Jean-Louis. | | 10/07 | 10:58pm | Justin Smith | DT | Out | Foot | Sophomore DT Justin Smith practiced for the first time since the preseason fall camp sessions. His status for the Alabama game is unknown. Smith is recovering from sustaining a broken bone in his foot in early September. Prior to his injury, Smith had been working with the third-string defense. "He just got in an awkward position and broke that fifth metatarsal so that's tough," Nutt said. | | 10/07 | 10:54pm | DT Shackelford | LB | Probable | Ankle | True freshman LB DT Shackelford injured his ankle during the South Carolina game and missed the Vanderbilt game. His status for the Alabama game is probable. Shackelford had made an impression as a true freshman on head coach Houston Nutt with his play through the first two games of the season (Memphis, SE LA). | | 10/07 | 10:53pm | Craig Drummond | DE | Out For Year | Left team | True freshman DE Craig Drummond left school due to academic issues according to head coach Houston Nutt.

The reserve RB could qualify for a medical redshirt. | | 09/09 | 9:56am | Jason Jones | DE | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Redshirt freshman DE Jason Jones is out for the season after tearing his ACL against Jackson State on Sept 5. According to head coach Houston Nutt, the third-string DE was an important member of the special teams unit. | | 08/26 | 7:22am | Alex Williams | DE | Out For Year | Leg | Freshman DE Alex Williams is out for the season with a broken leg. He was a likely redshirt candidate this season. | | 08/09 | 5:09pm | Montez Phillips | WR | Out For Year | Will Not Play | True freshman Montez Phillips will play baseball at Northwest CC instead of Ole Miss.

Next game: Nevada at Utah State on 10/17
|
| 10/05 | 9:13am | Vai Taua | RB | Probable | Elbow | Taua suffered a dislocated elbow going after a fumble on a punt return. Senior Luke Lippincott replaced Taua in the starting lineup, a
switch from a year ago, when Taua replaced Lippincott due to a
season-ending injury. Lippincott rushed for 114 yards vs. Missouri last
Friday.
