08/265:41amChris JacksonWR Out For Year TransferSophomore WR Chris Jackson will transfer to Georgia Tech.  The reserve WR moved from DB, where he made six tackles as a true freshman in 2008.  As a wide receiver, Jackson was slated to be third-string behind Marquis Maze and Brandon Gibson.
08/174:37pmBrandon FanneyLB Out For Year TransferFanney has been granted permission to transfer from UA. The 2008 starter was third on the team with 66 tackles - nine for a loss. With Fanney's departure look for senior Eryk Anders to take over the starting job.

09/219:36pmRob GronkowskiTE Out For Year BackJunior Rob Gronkowski had season-ending surgery to help mend his ailing back. The Wildcats ran most of their offense through Gronkowski and will undeniably miss him. In the absence of the first-team All-Pac10 player Arizona's offense has noticeably lacked in production through the air. Junior A.J. Simmons has taken over the starting job.
08/091:38amScott SmithDE Out For Year Kicked Off TeamSmith's scholarship has not been renewed and he is no longer on the football team. The sophomore reserve transferred from Cal a year ago and will not play in 2009.

Next game: Arizona State at Louisiana Monroe on 10/13
Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/108:07amOmar BoldenCB Doubtful KneeBolden has a sprained knee and is doubtful for the Wazzu game. Terell Carr will start in Bolden's place at corner opposite Pierre Singfield. Carr and Bolden have two starts apiece this season. Bolden is also one of the Sun Devils' kick returners and will likely be replaced by Keelan Johnson or LeQuan Lewis.
10/0810:55amRyan McFoyS Probable FootMcFoy suffered a foot injury but returned to practice this week. He has been upgraded to probable for the Washington State game. RS freshman Keelan Johnson replaced him as starting strong safety in week five.
10/0810:53amKerry TaylorWR Questionable HamstringTaylor suffered a minor hamstring injury early in practice yesterday but its severity is unknown. The junior is questionable to play at Wazzu Saturday. Taylor ranks fourth on the team in receiving.
10/0412:03pmGarth GerhartC Probable ToeGerhart is battling turf toe and sat out the last three games. He was expected to play in both of the last two games but did not enter either one. Gerhart might have been relegated to backup duties because HC Erickson is so pleased with the play of his replacement, senior Thomas Altieri.
10/0412:00pmZach SchlinkOL Questionable KneeSchlink had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to remove cartilage forcing him to miss the season opener. The sophomore has yet to play this year and is questionable for the game at Washington State.
10/0411:59amJovon WilliamsTE Questionable KneeWilliams is slowed by a knee injury and is questionable for the week six Wazzu game. The senior is one of four tight ends in the picture for playing time in HC Erickson's offense.
10/0411:57amMatt HustadOL Questionable KneeHustad is dealing with an injured knee and is questionable for the road trip to Wazzu. The offensive line is banged up as a whole and HC Erickson is searching for some players to step up.
10/0210:09amMike MarciszOL Out For Year ShoulderMarcisz suffered a shoulder injury that is going to require surgery. The sophomore will miss the remainder of the season. Walk-on Brent Good did a commendable job in the second half at Georgia and HC Erickson is inserting him into the starting lineup this weekend.
09/239:57amThomas WeberK Out GroinWeber has a torn muscle in his groin and will be out four to six weeks while recovering. The 2007 Lou Groza award winner did not play last week against ULM and was replaced by true freshman Bobby Wenzig. Wenzig was 5-for-5 on extra points and made a 24-yard field goal in that contest. Wenzig likely takes over the kicking duties, but linebacker Mike Nixon kicked in high school and is another option for HC Erickson.
08/186:34pmOsahon IraborDB Out For Year ThumbRecruit Osahon Irabor is expected to miss the entire season after having right thumb surgery. He was not listed on the Sun Devils' depth chart.
08/186:32pmBrandon SmithWR Out KneeReserve receiver Brandon Smith suffered what could be a serious knee injury last week.

Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/0810:20amLondon CrawfordWR Questionable CollarboneSenior WR London Crawford broke his collarbone against Missouri State on Sept 5 and has missed four straight weeks of action.  London has returned to practice this week (Oct 5), and his status for the Auburn game is questionable.  The first-string receiver started in 11 games in 2008 and was a starter in the opener.  Crawford recorded two catches for 44 yards against Missouri State.  His return would give QB Ryan Mallett yet another weapon in a strong Arkansas passing attack.
10/0810:17amDennis JohnsonRB Questionable ThighSophomore Dennis Johnson is recovering from a thigh injury sustained during the Texas A&M game that had limited his ability to practice at the beginning of the week.  His status for the Auburn game is unknown.  Johnson is a reserve RB and a kick returner for the Razorbacks.
09/027:33amJohn HendersonDT Out For Year TransferJunior NT John Henderson has signed a letter of intent with Southern Mississippi.  The former JUCO transfer had originally signed with Arkansas but was granted a release.  Henderson was listed as the No. 3 NT on the Razorbacks depth chart.

08/266:14amIsaac MadisonCB Out For Year Torn ACLStarting CB Isaac Madison is out for the season with a torn ACL (Aug 17).  The junior starter at RCB was second on the team last season with 7 passes broken up and also recorded 38 tackles and 1 interception.  Sophomore Greg Gatson immediately replaced Madison, but true freshmen Darius Winston (No. 2 RCB) and David Gordon (No. 3 LCB) are receiving what would be Madison's reps in practice.
08/095:25pmKhiry BattleLB Out For Year DismissedBackup LB Battle has been dismissed from the football team after being arrested twice within the span of seven weeks. The sophomore's vacated No. 2 MLB job will most likely be filled by junior Jermaine Love who has nine tackles in two seasons.

09/027:37amCainan TaylorDT Out For Year Left teamRedshirt freshman DT Cainan Taylor has left the team.  The reserve DT was listed as the No. 3 DT on the depth chart.
08/136:21pmJarriel NormanWR Out For Year DismissedProjected starting receiver Jarriel Norman was booted from the team for conduct detrimental to the team. The senior had one start last year and had an impressive average of 16.4 yards per catch. Outside of senior Jahbari McLennan the Red Wolves have few players with much playing time under their belt.
08/136:15pmPaul StephensCB Out For Year DismissedSenior defensive back Paul Stephens was dismissed from Red Wolves football after his arrest for breaking and entering. He was expected to compete with senior Cordarious Mingo for a starting job in 2009.
08/136:14pmLeroy TrahanDB Out For Year DismissedJunior DB Leroy Trahan was dismissed from the team due to conduct detrimental to the team. He was not likely to get much playing time in 2009 as he was buried on the depth chart.

Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/0410:06amCeDarius WilliamsFB Questionable AnkleWilliams 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. 
Auburn Tigers
Next game: Kentucky at Auburn on 10/17
Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/109:50amHarris GastonLB Out UndisclosedTrue freshman LB Harris Gaston will miss the Arkansas game with an undisclosed ailment, and his status from that point forward is TBD.  Head coach Gene Chizik says that Gaston is experiencing "medical issues".  Gaston played in the first four games of the season but did not make the trip to Knoxville last week.
10/109:25amSpencer PybusLB Out For Year ConcussionSophomore LB Spencer Pybus is likely out for the season according to head coach Gene Chizik.  Pybus suffered a concussion in late August and has been held out all season.  The reserve LB is the No. 2 WLB on the depth chart behind starter Eltoro Freeman.
10/0810:18amMichael McNeilS Doubtful LegJunior SS Mike McNeil has been rehabbing from a broken leg suffered during fall preaseson camp and has missed the entire season to date (five games).  He is doubtful for the Arkansas game.  Freshman Daren Bates has stepped up in McNeil's absence.
10/079:54amWalt McFaddenCB Questionable KneeSenior CB Walt McFadden injured his knee during the first quarter of the Tennessee game but played through the pain.  His status for the Arkansas game is questionable, though he will be relied upon to play against a pass-intensive Razorbacks offense stocked with tall receivers.
10/037:28amByron IsomG Out SuspensionJunior LG Byron Isom has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Gene Chizik for violation of team rules.  He was not on the sidelines during Auburn's recent win over Ball State.  True freshman John Sullen is filling in for Isom at LG.
10/037:27amDrew ColeS Questionable AnkleSophomore FS Drew Cole has missed two straight games with an ankle injury and is questionable for the Tennessee game.  Cole sustained the injury during Auburn's SEC opener against Mississippi State.  Cole's absence, combined with the preseason injuries to Aairon Savage and Mike McNeil, thins out the Auburn defensive back rotation.
09/193:05amMontez BillingsWR Out For Year Left teamSenior WR Montez Billings left the team to pursue other opportunities.  Billings has already graduated from Auburn University.  As the leading returning receiver (24 receptions, 227 receiving yards in 2008), Billings was expected to start again this season and vie for the top receiver slot.  His departure leaves a giant hole at WR that needs to be replaced immediately.
08/266:27amRudy OdomG Out For Year Left teamSenior RG Rudy Odom left the team for the second time this year.  The No. 2 RG on the depth chart played in two games last season while struggling through various injuries.

08/095:45pmChristian ThompsonS Out For Year Left TeamSophomore safety Thompson has left the football program. It is unclear if he left of his own accord or was dismissed. Thompson played in 10 games in 2008 as a true freshman logging one tackle. He played a bigger role during the spring with starters Zac Etheridge and Mike McNeil limited by injuries.
08/095:43pmMarcus JemisonLB/S Out For Year Left TeamReserve LB/S Jemison has left the football program. It is unclear if he left of his own accord or was dismissed. Jemison redshirted last season after sustaining an injury.

Next game: Bowling Green at Ball State on 10/17
Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/0810:25amDan ManickOL Questionable KneeManick suffered a knee injury in the week five game vs. Toledo and is questionable for the game at Temple this weekend. The RS freshman moved from DL to OL in the spring and earned himself some valuable playing time. HC Parrish has not indicated who would replace Manick if he is out, only that the right side of the offensive line is a work-in-progress.
09/222:19pmSeth WhiteWR Out For Year CollarboneWhite broke his collarbone in the first half against Army and is done for the 2009 season. The injury requires surgery. White started the first two games of the season and was second on the team in receptions going into week three.
09/081:52amMadaris GrantTE Out For Year KneeGrant tore his ACL in the first quarter of the season opener and will undergo surgery in a couple of weeks. The senior and team captain will petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. After Thursday's loss, HC Parrish said Grant was the one player he couldn't afford to lose. Grant's replacement has not been determined. Sophomore Ryan Hartke, who had never played the position before, filled in Thursday night but was called for a holding penalty that nullified a Ball State touchdown. Freshman Zane Fakes, a converted running back, will compete with Hartke for the starting job.
08/132:07amDerrick HenryS Out For Year AcademicsJunior Derrick Henry was expected to provide depth in the Cardinals' secondary but is not with the team because of what coach Stan Parrish termed "academic issues" encountered during the spring semester. Henry finished 2008 with 42 tackles, but he had only 12 in the final seven games. While unable to play regularly on defense, he was regarded as a key performer on special teams.
Baylor Bears
Next game: Baylor at Iowa State on 10/17
Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/106:25amBlake SzymanskiQB Questionable ShoulderSzymanski, 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.
10/106:25amJay FinleyRB Questionable AnkleStarting 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.
10/066:30pmTim AtchisonCB Probable HandStarting 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.
09/288:22amRobert GriffinQB Out For Year KneeGriffin 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.
09/288:21amMikail BakerDB Out For Year KneeBaker 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. 
09/217:49amAntareis BryanCB Out FootStarting 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. 
Boise State Broncos
Next game: Boise State at Tulsa on 10/14
Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
09/278:07pmMichael AtkinsonDT Questionable SuspensionFreshman defensive tackle Michael Atkinson has not played yet this season due to a suspension. Atkinson was arrested in July on a DUI charge after a car accident. He also was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Sophomores Billy Winn and Chase Baker appear to be at the top of the depth chart.
09/278:06pmGreg GrimesDT Questionable LegRS freshman DT Greg Grimes has been out the past month with a leg injury. The position was thin to begin with as talented defensive tackle Michael Atkinson has been suspended following a DUI arrest. Boise State still has two excellent, explosive and aggressive defensive tackles - Chase Baker and Billy Winn - but no proven performers behind them.
09/268:31amDJ HarperRB Out KneeHarper likely will miss the rest of the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in week three. He and fellow junior tailback Jeremy Avery provided 293 rushing yards Friday night at Fresno State. Now, the workload will mostly fall to Avery with sophomore Doug Martin spelling him. HC Peterson said Harper should be able to redshirt this season, giving him two more seasons of eligibility.
09/155:17pmAaron BurksWR Out For Year RedshirtTrue freshman Aaron Burks likely will redshirt unless the Broncos have an injury that forces their hand, HC Petersen said. The Broncos decided to play true freshman wideout Kirby Moore against Miami - filling the one vacant slot in the receiver rotation. Burks was listed on the depth chart for the first two games but didn't play.
08/171:02amAndy SilsbyFB Out For Year KneeSenior fullback Andy Silsby tore an ACL in a softball game and will be out for the year. He will help coach.
08/1312:31amDrew HawkinsQB Out For Year PersonalQuarterback-turned-wide receiver Drew Hawkins has left the football program and quit the sport because of a history of concussions. Hawkins sustained his latest concussion in a recreational softball game. He was slated to move to receiver this fall after spending his redshirt year at quarterback. The loss of Hawkins means the Broncos only have two quarterbacks on the roster who have taken a snap in a college practice - sophomore starter Kellen Moore and junior backup Mike Coughlin. True freshmen Mike Tamburo and Joe Southwick will compete for the third-string job.
Boston College Eagles
Next game: North Carolina State at Boston College on 10/17
Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/099:05amIfeanyi MomahWR Out KneeJunior 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).
10/099:04amAustin GilesDE Doubtful BackSenior 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.
10/099:02amOkechukwu OkorohaS Out LegRedshirt 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.
10/098:57amRoderick RollinsCB Probable HamstringSenior 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.
10/098:56amJames McCluskeyFB Questionable AchillesJunior 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.
10/098:54amWill ThompsonLB Doubtful ShoulderSophomore 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.
10/098:53amAlex AlbrightDE Probable AnkleJunior 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).
10/098:52amDamik ScafeDT Probable Shoulder/NeckJunior 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.
10/098:51amJordon McMichaelTE Out LegJunior 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. 
08/105:33pmMark HerzlichLB Out For Year CancerHerzlich 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.
08/105:23pmDominique DavisQB Out For Year AcademicsProjected 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.

10/0810:38amRay HutsonWR Out KneeHutson went down with a knee injury in last week's game vs. Ohio and did not return. The sophomore took over the starting job vacated by Pronty and ranks fourth on the team in receiving. It is quite possible Hutson will miss the remainder of the season.
09/1012:03amTyrone ProntyWR Out FootPronty suffered a broken foot in the season opener against Troy and will be out 4-to-6 weeks. The senior was second on the team with six receptions. Sophomore Ray Hutson will start in Pronty's spot.
08/174:49pmAndrew BeamQB Out For Year TransferReserve QB Andrew Beam has transferred to the University of Findlay in hopes to get more playing time his senior season. Senior Tyler Sheehan has the Falcon's starting job locked up with a number of inexperienced quarterbacks vying for the backup position.

09/2111:35amRussell TialaveaDT Out KneeTialavea went down with a knee injury in the first half vs. Florida State and did not return. What was initially feared to be an ACL injury turned out to be an MCL sprain. Recovery time should be two to four weeks. Senior Tevita Hola is the likely replacement while Tialavea recovers.
09/068:41pmHouston ReynoldsOL Out For Year KneeFreshman Houston Reynolds suffered an ACL tear in his right knee during preseason camp and is out for the season.

Expect junior Mark Boskovich to start the rivalry game at left guard if Summers-Gavin is unable to play.
09/2511:41amSpencer LadnerTE Out KneeStarter Spencer Ladner suffered a knee injury in the season opener that has kept him out of action since. Sophomore Anthony Miller has taken over as the starting tight end, but the Bears are woefully thin behind him. Ladner is not expected to return until at least the UCLA game in week seven.
09/2110:29amNyan BoatengWR Out FootBoateng suffered a fractured right foot during the game at Minnesota and will be out four to six weeks. He was Cal's leading receiver in 2008.

He was primarily a backup last season and played in 12 games, catching three passes for 23 yards and a touchdown.

The Chippewas return senior Frank Zombo, an All-MAC selection, junior Sean Murnane, senior Sam Williams and senior Larry Knight along the defensive line.

10/0410:48amDominique BattleCB Questionable UndisclosedBattle 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.
10/036:19amJohn GoebelRB Out HamstringGoebel 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. 
09/207:39amCurtis YoungLB Out KneeCincinnati'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.

08/111:57amVidal HazeltonWR Out For Year EligibilityProjected 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.

10/066:25pmLagrone ShieldsDE Out For Year Left TeamShields is no longer a member of the Colorado football team.  The little used reserve DE had played just 37 snaps in three games this season and did not see the field at all in week five following the return of freshman Nick Kasa from injury. 
10/0610:03amMike IltisC Probable ConcussionIltis was a late scratch in week five against West Virginia as he was still foggy after suffering a concussion in practice that week.  Consider him probable to return on Oct. 10 against Texas.  In case Iltis remains out, walk-on Keenan Stevens would take another start at center.
10/0410:48amMax Tuioti-MarinerOL Out KneeTuioti-Mariner has resumed activities on the the practice field after tearing his ACL back in March.  His status to play anytime soon however, is unlikely.  The junior OL is at least 2-3 weeks away from a potential return to the gridiron.  Tuioti-Mariner has made one career start back in 2008 and is likely now nothing more than depth when he is able to return.
09/026:10amSione TauOL Out For Year SuspensionTau has been suspended for the fall semester by the Colorado football team for an undisclosed reason, essentially rendering him out for the season.  The sophomore was expected to provide depth on the offensive line.

10/098:15amScott LutrusLB Probable NeckLutrus, who did not play the last three weeks due to a neck injury suffered in week one, is hopefully going to return on Oct. 10 against Pitt.  He has been cleared for full contact by team medical personnel, and is expected to be in the starting lineup this weekend.  The starting LB led UConn in tackles last year and is especially valuable as a run stopper on passing downs or when the opponent is in a passing formation.  Kijuan Dabney had been starting in place of Lutrus, but Dabney injured his shoulder in week four and is out for the year.  UConn is thin at LB without Dabney, so getting Lutrus back would be a huge boost.
10/098:00amZach FraserQB Probable KneeFrazer is able to return from a knee injury on Oct. 10 against Pitt only if needed.  HC Randy Edsall has indicated that since his progress has been strong this week, Frazer is available in an emergency this weekend and will likely serve as the #2 behind Cody Enders.  He has been out since he had to leave UConn's week two matchup against UNC due to a right knee injury and he did not return.
10/097:58amRyan GriffinTE Probable BackGriffin was forced to leave UConn's game on Saturday Sept. 12 against UNC with a significant back injury that has kept him out the past three-plus weeks.  He is probable to return on Oct. 10 against Pitt.  With Griffin on the shelf, look for John Delahunt and Corey Manning to pick up the slack at TE. 
09/285:45pmKijuan DabneyLB Out For Year ShoulderReserve LB Dabney has underwent surgery on his left shoulder and will not play again in 2009.  The junior had been replacing the injured Scott Lutrus in the lineup and was getting considerable playing time.  The loss greatly thins the linebacking corps, as defensive back Robert McClain needed to be shifted from DB to LB to help with depth.
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. 
09/228:33amBeau BrunelliDL Out For Year UndisclosedBrunelli has been reinstated from his school-imposed suspension however that does not mean the freshman DL will see the field this year.  Brunelli has been rehabbing from an undisclosed injury that will keep him out of action all season.  He was competing for playing time on the line before the suspension. 
08/2512:29pmHarris AgborS Out KneeReserve safety Harris Agbor suffered an LCL injury and is expected to be out at least six weeks. Senior Robert Vaughn is the lone safety on the roster with any valuable playing time under his belt.

08/2512:17pmYianni ApostolakosTE Out For Year HipSophomore Yianni Apostolakos is done playing football. His hip injury will not allow him to play the game anymore. 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.

Team officials did not give a reason for his departure saying only that he would not be enrolled in school this fall. The junior played in 11 games as a reserve in 2008, recording 3.5 sacks.

10/099:09amJarrod HoltG Probable ConcussionSenior LG Jarrod Holt is probable for the NC State game after suffering a concussion against NCCU and not playing against VT.  Holt is the most experienced offensive lineman on the Blue Devils roster.  His absence could put a damper into what is already a weak rushing attack.
10/099:09amRandez JamesCB Out HandRedshirt freshman CB Randez James missed a fifth consecutive game with a hand injury.  The reserve CB has not seen action in a Duke uniform, as he was suspended for the 2009 Spring Game and has been nursing a hand injury since mid August.
10/099:08amKyle GriswouldRB Out For Year LegTrue freshman RB Kyle Griswould has missed the first five games of the season and had surgery on his knee recently.  He is likely out for the season.  It is believed that Griswould's prolonged absence makes it easier for the Duke coaching staff to redshirt him.  Prior to the injury, Griswould had outperformed highly touted local product Desmond Scott and could have seen action during the season if healthy.
10/099:06amJay HollingsworthRB Probable AnkleJunior RB Jay Hollingsworth played against NC Central game but was limited by an ankle injury and did not play against VT.  His status for the NC State game is probable.  The No. 2 RB on the depth chart was Duke's leading rusher in 2008 (108 attempts; 399 yards--both team highs).  Both Hollingsworth and the No. 1 RB, Re'quan Boyette, are attempting to shake off the ill effects of their injuries.
10/0412:12pmRe'quan BoyetteRB Probable LegSenior RB Re'quan Boyette saw action against VT (did not start), but his production was limited.  His status for NC State is probable.  Boyette is Duke's No. 1 RB in 2009 after being injured in 2008.  He and the No. 2 RB, Jay Hollingsworth, are both returning from injuries that limited their production in practice the week of the NCCU game.

09/2710:20amAntonio AllisonDT Out FootAllison is out indefinitely after suffering a broken foot in week three against UNC.  The sophomore was entrenched as a starter on the defensive line before the injury, which requires surgery.  ECU has a number of options to replace Allison, including shifting to more 3-4 defense as opposed to 4-3.  They do have decent depth on the defensive line however. 
09/234:02pmJR RogersRB Out KneeRogers is out indefinitely with a knee injury.  The senior does not contribute as a running back, having not taken a carry this season, however he does see action as a kick and punt returner when healthy. 
09/233:41pmMichael BowmanWR Out ArmBowman is out indefinitely with a broken right arm.  The reserve WR provides depth when healthy.  He's yet to record a catch this season, and the sophomore only managed two receptions for 20 yards in 2008.

10/0512:27pmAlexander RobinsonRB Probable GroinStarting RB Alexander re-injured his groin on Oct. 3 against Kansas State after originally suffering the pulled muscle in week four against Army but he is expected to be able to play.  Consider the star RB probable to go on Oct. 10 against Kansas.  Robinson is the second leading rusher in the Big XII, averaging 114 yards per game.  He also has a team-high five TDs. 
10/0410:24amHouston JonesWR Questionable AnkleJones did not play the past three weeks due to an ankle sprain suffered against North Dakota State during Iowa State's second game of the year.  Consider him questionable to play on Oct. 10 against Kansas.

10/0410:28amJake SharpRB Probable CalfSharp did not play in week four against Southern Miss after being a late scratch in week three.  HC Mike Mangino has said that Sharp should be 100% after the upcoming bye week, so consider him probable to play against the Iowa State Cyclones on Oct. 10   True freshman Toben Opurum has filled in for Sharp, who is among the statistical rushing leaders in the Big 12, having rolled up an average of over 110 yards/game through the first two weeks while scoring a league best five TDs.
10/0410:27amChris HarrisCB Questionable LegHarris is questionable to return to the field on Oct. 10 against Iowa State.  He did not play against Southern Miss in week four after being injured in week three and had a bye week to recover in week five.  Harris was recently elevated into a starting role at cornerback, forcing Anthony Davis to the bench, but Davis will continue to be the replacement for Harris if he needs to miss more time.
09/2711:48amJamal GreeneDT Out SuspensionGreene is out indefinitely while under suspension for an undisclosed infraction during spring practice.  HC Mike Mangino has not made any indication of when or if Greene will return this year and provide depth on the defensive line.
08/255:24pmBen LuekenOL Out For Year Left TeamBackup lineman Ben Lueken left the football program to pursue outside opportunities. HC Mangino said that health concerns with the sophomore were taken into consideration but that those concerns weren't the reason for his departure.

10/0410:36amAubrey QuarelsWR/KR Questionable LegQuarels is yet to see the field this season due to a leg injury.  Consider him questionable to return on Oct. 10 against Texas Tech.  Quarels sees some action in the passing game, having brought in 12 receptions last season, but his value comes mostly as the Wildcats primary kick and punt returner. 
09/209:13amBrandon HaroldDL Out KneeHarold remains out indefinitely with a knee injury suffered prior to opening weekend.  He began fall camp as a projected starter on the defensive line.  Finally, K-State HC Bill Snyder has given a projected timetable for Harold's return - three weeks. 
09/179:00amKadero TerrellDL Out LegTerrell is out indefinitely with a leg injury.  The reserve defensive lineman has not played yet in 2009 and no information is available regarding a potential return.  He provides veteran depth on the defensive front when healthy.

He then added the junior is probably doubtful. Either Will Johnson or Howard Bowens, both juniors, will likely start the game if Wood is unable to go.
10/0710:35amAlan VanderinkRB Out For Year BackVanderink is likely to miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in one of his vertebrae. HC Martin mentioned the junior was in a car wreck during the summer and it hasn't healed yet. The Flashes are very thin at RB right now. Sophomore Jacquise Terry stepped into the starting job and performed admirably last week and is averaging 7.9 ypc on 27 attempts this year. True freshman Dri Archer has also provided a spark, averaging 5.0 ypc in 21 rushes. WR/KR Anthony Bowman could be used at RB in an emergency situation.

Junior Andre Flowers is the likely replacement for the 2008 2nd TmMAC stud.
08/174:29pmKirk BlegraveDB Out For Year AcademicsSenior Kirk Belgrave will not be with the team in 2009 due to academic issues. He was projected as a starter this coming season after starting five games in 2008 and tallying 40 tackles.

10/0711:58pmPaul WarfordCB Out QuadJunior CB Paul Warford was held out of practice on Sept 29 with a quadriceps strain and did not play in the Alabama game.  He is likely to miss the South Carolina game.  Warford is the No. 1 RCB on the depth chart.  He will be replaced by sophomore Randall Burden.
10/0710:40amTrevard LindleyCB Out AnkleSenior CB Trevard Lindley is ruled out of the South Carolina game with a left ankle injury.  Lindley was carted off the field in the third quarter of the Alabama game for what were believed to be precautionary reasons (the training staff did not want him to put any weight on the ankle).  If he is unable to play against South Carolina, true freshman Martavius Neloms will start.
09/0612:20pmMarcus DavisC Out For Year AnkleJunior C Marcus Davis will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right ankle.  Davis was filling in for suspended starter Jorge Gonzalez.  Redshirt freshman Matt Smith replaced Davis in the Sept 5 game against Miami (Ohio).
08/309:37amAaron BoydWR Out For Year RedshirtSophomore WR Aaron Boyd will be redshirted for the 2009 season.  The reserve WR played in 11 games in 2008, catching five passes for 46 yards.  Head coach Rich Brooks says that Boyd's maturity level is a concern. "In hindsight, it might have been wise for him to redshirt last year," says Brooks.
08/268:13amJonathan GeorgeRB Out AnkleTrue freshman RB Jonathan George will miss at least one game with an ankle injury.  The reserve tailback had impressed coaches during preseason camp with his burst of speed and ability to make big plays.
08/255:48amEJ FieldsWR Out FootRedshirt freshman receiver E.J. Fields will miss most of the season with a torn ligament in his foot.  It was announced that Fields would undergo surgery on his foot.  Fields sat out his true freshman year with a hamstring pull.  He was expected to be "in the mix" for playing time as a redshirt freshman this season.

10/0912:06pmMarlin MillerWR Probable ShoulderJunior 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.
10/0912:06pmJonathan DecosterT Probable RibJunior 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.
10/0912:05pmRichard BrooksLB Probable ArmSophomore 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.
10/079:32amKyron BenoitLB Out AnkleSophomore 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.
10/079:23amColin WindsorT Out KneeJunior 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.
10/079:18amRichie FalgoutWR Probable AnkleJunior 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.
10/079:18amChris RichardS Probable AnkleSophomore 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.
10/079:17amGerren BlountS Probable LegSenior 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.
10/079:16amLance KelleyS Probable BackSophomore 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.
10/079:06amChris MassonQB Probable KneeSophomore 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.
10/079:00amChris FisherC Probable ShoulderSenior C Chris Fisher missed the Nebraska game, but he is expected to return for the North Texas game.  Fisher is a 1st team All SBC performer and Lombardi Watch candidate.  Next on the depth chart is freshman Evan Ruiz, who has also been injured.

10/069:50amDarius AshleyRB Probable ShoulderFreshman RB Ashley suffered a minor shoulder injury in week five but is expected to be available on Oct. 10 against Southern Miss.  Ashley saw his first extended action last weekend, rushing three times for 15 yards and also catching a pass.  He is expected to continue to provide depth the Cardinals' rushing attack.
10/0512:35pmBrandon HeathLB Questionable AnkleAn ankle injury kept Heath off the field in week five against Pitt after knocking him out in week four and has left him questionable to return on Oct. 10 against Southern Miss.  Heath is one of the Cardinals top linebackers when healthy, but replacement Chris Campa has been performing well in his absence, racking up 18 tackles over the past two games.
10/058:33amJustin BurkeQB Questionable SternumStarting QB Burke was a surprise scratch in week five due to a bruised sternum which according to Louisville HC Steve Kragthorpe was suffered in week four against Utah.  Burke should be considered questionable to play on Oct. 10 against Southern Miss, however Kragthorpe said he's healthy and will practice this week.  The coach also said he's not willing to proclaim either Burke or his replacement Adam Froman the starter because he doesn't want Southern Miss to know who will be under center.  Expect the Louisville QB situation to be resolved at game time. 
09/285:47pmTerrence SimienS Out KidneySimien is out indefinitely after suffering a lacerated kidney in Louisville's week three loss against Kentucky.  Simien was hospitalized immediately after the game and though now released, is in no condition to resume football activities.  The JUCO transfer has made 10 tackles and one interception this season.  He will be replaced in the starting lineup by either Daniel Covington or Richard Raglin.

10/109:00amLyle HittG Probable NeckSenior 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.
10/108:59amChancey AghayereDE Questionable UndisclosedRedshirt freshman DE Chancey Aghayere is questionable for the Florida game after missing the Georgia game with an undisclosed injury.  Aghayere is the No. 2 DE on the depth chart behind senior Rahim Alem.

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. 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.
08/095:21pmShomari 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.

10/106:30amAlbert McClellanDE Questionable AnkleMcClellan tried to play on an injured ankle in week five but had to leave the contest at halftime after apparently re-aggravating the malady.  Consider McClellan questionable to play on Oct. 10 against Tulane.  If the star senior who is 6th all-time in sacks cannot play, expect John Jacobs to step into the starting lineup.
10/0410:32amCourtney EdmonsonWR Questionable ShoulderEdmonson has not played in the last four weeks after the wideout was injured in the first quarter of Marshall's opening week game against SIU on an end around and did not return.  He was hoping to return on Oct. 3 against East Carolina and practiced all week but couldn't get back on the field.  He is questionable to play on Oct. 10 against Tulane.  A speedy redshirt freshman, Edmonson had a good showing in fall camp, earning a starting spot.  True frosh Aaron Dobson has been seeing the field more with Edmonson hobbled.
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.

Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/108:10amCaleb PorzelRB Probable LegTrue freshman RB Caleb Porzel had missed the entire season to date with a leg injury.  Porzel has struggled all season with the injury, which has slowed his development.  He is considered the fastest player on a Maryland Terrapin team that lacks the athleticism to keep up with the class of the ACC.  It seemed unlikely that he would play this season, but Da'Rel Scott's injury has opened up the possibility of Porzel receiving playing time in 2009.  He is available for the Wake Forest game.
10/099:49amDanny EdwardsC Out ConcussionJunior C Danny Edwards will miss the Wake Forest game with a concussion.  Edwards is the No. 2 C behind senior Phil Costa.  Edwards will be replaced by true freshman Bennett Fulper.
10/099:35amJoe VellanoDT Out FootRedshirt freshman DT Joe Vellano has been out of action for five weeks with a foot injury.  He is expected to return in October.  He will not play against Wake Forest.  The reserve DT underwent surgery for stress fractures in his foot on Aug 20.
10/099:31amLouis BermanLB Out LegJunior LB Louis Berman missed four straight games with a leg injury.  He is likely to miss the Wake Forest game.  Berman is listed as the No. 4 Anchor LB on the Terps' depth chart.  He had not seen game action prior to 2009.
10/059:22amBruce CampbellT Out KneeJunior LT Bruce Campbell will miss the Wake Forest game (Oct 10) and could miss the rest of the season after suffering damage to his left MCL during the Clemson game.  Campbell is considered to be the Terps' top offensive lineman, but he has been sidelined earlier this season with a turf toe injury.  Head coach Ralph Friedgen believes that Campbell's loss will leave Maryland very thin on the offensive line.
10/059:17amDa'Rel ScottRB Out WristJunior RB Da'Rel Scott will miss at least five weeks with a broken wrist.  Head coach Ralph Friedgen hopes to have Scott back in time for the Nov. 21 game at FSU.  Scott is one of the top RBs in the ACC (1st team All-ACC in 2008) and Maryland's leading rusher in 2008 (1133 yards, 8 TDs) and 2009 (297 yards, 3 TDs).  He will be replaced by Davin Meggett and Morgan Green.
10/036:18amTravis BaltzP Out LegJunior P Travis Baltz was hit on a punt attempt during the Rutgers game and did not return.  He is expected to miss two weeks with an unspecified leg injury.  Junior Ted Townsley (No. 2 P) and true freshman Nick Ferrara (No. 1 K) handled punting duties for the rest of the Rutgers game and will continue to do so in Baltz's absence.
09/1410:37amNolan CarrollCB Out For Year LegSenior CB Nolan Carroll will likely miss the 2009 season with a broken leg.  Carroll sustained the injury against James Madison on Sept 12.  Carroll was second on the team last season in passes broken up with eight.  Richard Taylor (senior) or Travis Hawkins (true freshman) will likely step in for the injured Carroll.
08/175:02pmDion ArmstrongNT Out For Year Left TeamProjected starting NT Dion Armstrong has left Maryland football.

10/106:31amTJ PittsRB Probable ThighReserve RB Pitts had to leave Memphis' week four game due to a thigh injury and did not play on October 3 against Central Florida.  He is probable to return on Oct. 10 against UTEP.  Lance Smith becomes the primary backup to Curtis Steele as long as Pitts is out.
10/106:31amTyler BassQB Doubtful ShoulderMemphis starting QB Bass suffered a non-throwing shoulder injury in week five's loss to Central Florida and his ability to play on Oct. 10 against UTEP is doubtful.  Bass was pulled after throwing an early second half interception by HC Tommy West, however West said that was unrelated to the injury which was not discovered until Sunday.  Will Hudgens replaced Bass against UCF, however West said he is uncertain if it would be Hudgens or Arkelon Hall that starts under center if Bass cannot play.  As food for thought, it has been Hudgens taking the first team reps in practice this week.
09/1610:53amAkeem DavisFS Out For Year KneeDavis injured his right knee in week two and Memphis HC Tommy West's worst fear, a torn ACL, has come true.  Davis is out for the season.  Junior Darrius Davis steps into the starting lineup to replace Akeem Davis. 
08/127:25pmBrandon RossRB Out For Year PersonalSophomore RB Brandon Ross is no longer with the football team due to personal reasons. Ross was a key member of the Tiger backfield during the second half of 2008. He filled in admirably for backup tailback Charlie Jones and also for starter Curtis Steele when he suffered a hamstring injury. In 2009 spring scrimmages, Ross's carries were limited as Steele and Wisconsin transfer Lance Smith received the brunt of the workload.
08/127:21pmDemetrius CulpepperDE Out For Year PersonalProjected starting DE Demetrius Culpepper is no longer with the team because of personal reasons. HC West declined to elaborate. Culpepper played mostly on special teams a year ago. Seniors Greg Terrell and Josh Weaver are the likely candidates to win the starting job this summer.
Miami (FL) Hurricanes

Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/0910:25amOlivier VernonDE Probable Lower extremityTrue 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.
10/0910:21amJake ByrneLS/TE Questionable IllnessSenior LS Jake Byrne is questionable for the FAMU game with an unspecified illness.  Byrne is also a reserve TE for the Hurricanes. 
10/0910:18amGraig CooperRB Questionable Lower extremityJunior 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.
10/0910:18amSteven WesleyDE Doubtful Lower extremityJunior 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.
10/0910:06amRyan HillCB Out Upper extremitySenior 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.
10/0910:02amMarcus ForstonDT Doubtful Lower extremitySophomore 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.
10/099:56amLee ChambersRB Questionable LegSophomore 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.
10/099:56amDyron DyeDE Out Lower extremityTrue 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.  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.
10/099:54amRichard GordonTE Out ArmSenior TE Richard Gordon had his right arm in a sling during the Sept 9 practice.  He is ruled out for the FAMU game with an unspecified arm injury.  Senior Dedrick Epps (last year's starter) stepped into the starting role against Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech.
10/099:54amAdewale OjomoDE Out JawDE Adewale Ojomo had surgery in mid August for a broken jaw. 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.
10/099:53amRandy PhillipsS Out ArmSenior 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.
10/099:52amJoJo NicolasS Out Upper extremityJunior 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.  The No. 2 SS was expected to fill in for the then-injured No. 1 FS Randy Phillips against Oklahoma before sustaining an injury of his own. 
10/099:51amPatrick HillFB Out Lower extremitySenior FB Patrick Hill missed the Oklahoma game with a lower extremity injury and is 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.
10/0511:36pmShayon GreenLB Out For Year Torn ACLTrue 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.
10/041:50pmLevi PaaluaLB Questionable Upper extremityRedshirt freshman LB Levi Paalua missed the first four games of the season, and his status for the FAMU game is questionable.  Paalua, the No. 3 MLB on the depth chart, participated on the scout team in 2008 as a walk-on.
10/041:49pmBen JonesOL Probable IllnessRedshirt freshman OL Ben Jones has not played since becoming ill the week of the Georgia Tech game.  He is available for the FAMU game.  The reserve OL participated on the scout team in 2008.
08/251:10pmTaylor CookQB Out For Year TransferBackup QB Taylor Cook has decided to transfer to another school. Cook did not have any passing stats in his lone Miami season a year ago. Freshman AJ Highsmith likely will enter the season as the backup to starter Jacory Harris.
08/251:09pmCannon SmithQB Out For Year TransferReserve QB Cannon Smith has decided to transfer and is looking for a new school to play for. Smith completed his only pass last season for two yards. Freshman AJ Highsmith likely will enter the season as the backup to starter Jacory Harris.

10/0810:11amDJ SvabikDL Out LungSvabik is still dealing with a fungus in his lung and sat out the week five game at Kent State. The reserve will not be able to play until some complications with his medicine have been worked out.
10/0810:09amMorris CouncilDL Out For Year ShoulderCouncil suffered a shoulder injury that has shut him down for the remainder of the season. The junior started two of the first three games of the year. Sophomore Matt Kajmowicz has been the recipient of more playing time and has one QB sack.
09/2412:13pmChris GivensWR Out For Year ShoulderGivens will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn labrum in his shoulder. The junior WR was the most dependable player on offense. He led the team in receiving yards, yards per catch, and touchdown catches last year. HC Haywood said there is now an opportunity for younger players to step up and perform.
09/0812:55pmClay BeltonQB Out For Year TransferBelton has decided to transfer to Maryland and will sit out the 2009 season. The sophomore started four games for the Redhawks in 2008. Senior Daniel Raudabaugh and RS freshman Zac Dysert took most of the preseason camp snaps with the first unit.
08/135:32pmBen BennettS Out For Year SuspensionMiami University HC Michael Haywood announced that junior defensive back Ben Bennett has been suspended from the team. No other details were provided.

10/0512:34pmTim McAvoyOL Questionable KneeMcAvoy suffered a knee injury in preseason camp and has yet to play this year. He was upgraded to probable for week four but did not enter the game. The senior has made six starts in his Wolverine career but appears to be slated for a backup role in 2009 if he can get healthy.
09/2112:36pmDavid MolkC Out FootMolk broke a bone in his foot in the first half vs. Eastern Michigan and remained in the game to finish the second half. X-rays shows the fracture and now he will miss four to six weeks. Molk started all 12 games last year as a RS freshman - taking every snap. HC Rodriguez said he plans on moving David Moosman, returning from injury, into Molk's spot at center. RS freshman Rocko Khoury will also get some action.
09/2012:11pmFitzgerald ToussaintRB Out ShoulderTrue freshman Fitzgerald Toussaint has yet to play this year due to a shoulder injury suffered during practice. It is possible this injury could lead to a redshirt for 2009.
08/174:57pmVince HelmuthDL Out For Year TransferReserve defensive lineman Vince Helmuth has decided to transfer from Michigan citing playing time as the main reason. He appeared to be buried on the post-spring practice depth chart.
08/174:55pmMarell EvansLB Out For Year TransferJunior Marell Evans has decided to transfer citing playing time as the primary reason. One report says Brandon Herron will be the likely starter at the spinner spot (hybrid DE/LB) with Evans backing him up.
08/077:35pmKurt WermerOL Out For Year TransferWermers has decided to transfer to Ball State. He did not see game action in 2008, his only season with the Wolverines, and will have to sit out the 2009 season before he is eligible to play for the Cardinals.

The starting right guard sat out the last three games as well. Deane was replaced by sophomore Jared McGaha in week two and senior Brendon Moss the last three weeks. Deane is questionable to play at Illinois.

The senior was not in pads at Tuesday's practice. Triplett leads the team in tackles this season and has two INT's and two fumble recoveries. RS freshman Keanon Cooper has played in every game this year and is the likely starter if Triplett cannot go.
10/079:50amJeff Tow-ArnettC Out For Year LegTow-Arnett suffered a broken leg and damage to his knee during the Wisconsin game and required surgery. The senior will miss the remainder of the season. Tow-Arnett played most of last season with a torn ACL. RS sophomore Trey Davis is expected to replace Tow-Arnett in the starting lineup with RS junior D.J. Burris serving as the backup.

The senior started the season's first four games at right defensive end and was second among defensive lineman on the team with 11 tackles. The Gophers are left very thin at defensive end.
10/0510:08amTim DandridgeS Out SuspensionDandridge is serving a two-game suspension due to a violation of team rules and policies and will sit out the Purdue matchup. He was a top backup at free safety and picked up one tackle in the first four games of the season.
10/0510:07amDan OrseskeP Questionable MonoFreshman punter Dan Orseske has mononucleosis and has missed the last two games. It is possible that he will return Oct. 10th vs. Purdue. Junior kicker Eric Ellestad has taken over in the meantime.
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.
08/0911:56pmJosh CampionOL Out For Year BackRecent back surgery will keep Josh Campion off the field for the 2009 season, but the Gophers are looking forward to him joining the program sometime in the future.
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.

10/0912:03pmAndy HartmannFB Probable KneeSenior 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.
10/0710:58pmJustin SmithDT Out FootSophomore 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.
10/0710:54pmDT ShackelfordLB Probable AnkleTrue 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).
10/0710:53pmCraig DrummondDE Out For Year Left teamTrue freshman DE Craig Drummond left school due to academic issues according to head coach Houston Nutt.  Drummond, who reported to Ole Miss early in lieu of the second semester of his senior year, was a highly regarded recruit who provided depth at the DE and DT positions. 
09/2910:03amTim SimonRB Out For Year Torn ACLTrue freshman RB Tim Simon is out for the season with a torn ACL.  The reserve RB could qualify for a medical redshirt.
09/099:56amJason JonesDE Out For Year Torn ACLRedshirt 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.

10/088:12amLuke LambertLB Probable AnkleLambert is probable to play on Oct. 8 against Nebraska after bouncing in and out of the lineup the past few games with a lingering ankle injury.  Apparently Lambert has healed nearly completely during the past bye week.  It is not clear what role the starting LB will play against the 'Huskers however, as his replacement Will Ebner has been fantastic when on the field. 
10/088:12amDe'Vion MooreRB Probable AnkleMoore is expected to be able to play on Oct. 8 against Nebraska after having to sit out the past few games with a tender ankle.  When healthy, Moore serves as the primary backup to Derrick Washington, but Kendial Lawrence played well as the #2 with Moore on the shelf, so expect Lawrence to continue to see carries as well.
10/088:12amJosh TatumLB Out BackJosh Tatum remains out indefinitely with a back injury. Tatum transferred from City College of San Francisco after redshirting his freshman year at USC in 2006. Tatum entered preseason camp listed No. 3 at the weakside linebacker position, behind starter Sean Weatherspoon and backup Tyler Crane.
10/088:12amMunir PrinceDB Doubtful HamstringA hamstring pull will likely keep Prince out of action against Nebraska on Thursday Oct. 8.  The reserve DB sees very little time in the Mizzou secondary, however he is occasionally spotted as a kick returner.
09/178:56amJeff GeddysLB Out For Year KneeMizzou's special teams took a hit this week when reserve linebacker and kick coverage ace Geddys tore his ACL in week two against Bowling Green.  He will miss the remainder of the season
08/297:05amBlaine DaltonQB Out For Year DismissedBackup QB Dalton has been dismissed from the Tigers following an arrest for driving under the influence.  It was the second time in four months that Dalton ran afoul of the law.  The freshman was having a strong fall camp and had moved from #4 to #2 on the QB depth chart.  Missouri will go into opening weekend with Jimmy Costello as the primary backup to starter Blaine Gabbert.
08/1712:26amMarvin FosterDT Out KneeReserve DT Marvin Foster is looking at surgery for his right knee in the near future. HC Pinkel said it looks like an ACL injury plus perhaps a torn meniscus.
08/104:35pmSheldon RichardsonTE Out For Year AcademicsRichardson will enroll at a junior college after failing to qualify academically for the 2009 season. He was considered one of the country's elite recruits, ranking as high as No. 4 nationally by Rivals.com.

10/098:11amJordan StephensNG Questionable AnkleStarting NG Stephens is questionable to play on Oct. 10 against Vanderbilt due to an ankle injury.  It is not known who will replace him if he has to miss time, as Navy's top three nose guards are banged up.  Juniors Chase Burge and Shane Bothel have missed practice time with abdominal injuries this week and are both questionable as well.  HC Ken Niumatalolo has moved defensive ends Mike Walsh and Billy Yarborough to the nose in case of emergency.
10/098:08amAndy LarkOG Out AnkleLark will be unable to play for the second straight week when Navy takes on Vanderbilt on Oct. 10.  The starting right guard injured his ankle in week four and has not been able to shed a protective boot.  Sophomore Brady DeMell will step in and make his second straight start.
10/069:24amAlexander TeichFB Questionable Knee/AnkleStarting fullback Teich left Navy's week five matchup with separate knee and ankle injuries and is questionable to play on Oct. 10 against Rice.  Teich, a sophomore, is backed up by junior Vince Murray.

Commander Joe Carpenter confirmed that the nature of the issue that led to Frazier's dismissal from the team is administrative and is not criminal.

10/088:15amLarry AsanteS Probable AnkleSenior strong safety Asante is probable to play on Oct. 8 against Missouri despite a minor ankle injury that has limited him in practice throughout the week five bye.  Asante is needed on Thursday as Nebraska's safety depth is thin with top reserve Ricky Thenarse out.  Asante is backed up by redshirt freshman P.J. Smith.
10/088:14amPrince AmukamaraCB Probable LegAmukamara has been limited by a minor leg injury suffered during Nebraska's week five bye, however he is not expected to miss any time.  Consider the junior probable to play on Oct. 8 against Missouri.  In case he cannot go, fellow junior Dejon Gomes is listed as the #2 on the depth chart.
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.
