| 10/23 | 8:53am | George Fletcher | RB | Questionable | Undisclosed | Reserve RB Fletcher left week six's dramatic win against Tulane a little banged up and could not play on Oct. 17 against Temple.

| 10/30 | 9:40am | Kaleb Ramsey | DT | Questionable | Shoulder | Sophomore DT Kaleb Ramsey is still bothered by the sore shoulder that kept him out of the NC State game and limited his availability in the Notre Dame game. Ramsey is a starting DT for the Eagles, a position that was hit hard by graduation/NFL in 2008. | | 10/30 | 9:35am | Alex Albright | DE | Questionable | Ankle | Junior DE Alex Albright is questionable for the Central Michigan game with an ankle injury he aggravated against Notre Dame. Albright missed time earlier this season due to injury. | | 10/30 | 9:26am | Rich Lapham | T | Doubtful | Shoulder | Junior RT Rich Lapham is doubtful for the Central Michigan game with a shoulder injury. Lapham is a two-year starter at the position and is BC's biggest lineman. | | 10/30 | 9:19am | Mike McLaughlin | LB | Doubtful | Achilles | Senior LB Mike McLaughlin re-aggravated the Achilles injury that kept him out for the first month of the season and is doubtful for the Central Michigan game. McLaughlin serves as a co-captain for the Eagles this season. | | 10/30 | 9:15am | Will Thompson | LB | Probable | Shoulder | Sophomore LB Will Thompson played sparingly against Notre Dame and is probable for Central Michigan. Thompson began the season listed as the No. 1 WLB on the depth chart. In Thompson's absence, true freshman Luke Kuechly has excelled. | | 10/30 | 9:15am | Damik Scafe | DT | Probable | Shoulder | Junior DT Damik Scafe played sparingly against Notre Dame and is probable for Central Michigan. Scafe, a starting DT for the Eagles, has missed previous contests in 2009 due to shoulder/neck injuries. | | 10/30 | 9:14am | Jordon McMichael | TE | Probable | Leg | Junior TE Jordon McMichael is battling a leg injury that kept him out of four games. He is probable for the Central Michigan game. McMichael is an important piece in BC's passing attack. Redshirt freshman Chris Pantale started in place of McMichael. | | 10/30 | 9:14am | Nathan Richman | G | Probable | Ankle | Sophomore LG Nathan Richman missed the Notre Dame game with ankle/foot injuries (was not able to practice the week of the game) and is probable for Central Michigan. Redshirt freshman Emmett Cleary (No. 2 LG) will fill in for Richman. | | 10/30 | 9:13am | DeLeon Gause | CB | Probable | Undisclosed | Junior CB DeLeon Gause sustained an injury during the fourth quarter of the ND game and did not return. He is probable for the Central Michigan game. Gause is a starting CB and KR for the Eagles. | | 10/30 | 9:12am | Jeff Smith | RB | Probable | Neck | Senior RB Jeff Smith did not play against Notre Dame because of a neck injury. He is probable for Central Michigan. Smith is a reserve RB for the Eagles who will see more reps with Josh Haden transferring. | | 10/30 | 9:11am | Rolandan Finch | RB | Out | Illness | True freshman RB Rolandan Finch played sparingly against ND because of mononucleosis and is out indefinitely. Finch will likely become the No. 2 RB on the depth chart with Josh Haden transferring. | | 10/27 | 11:07am | Justin Tuggle | QB | Out For Year | Left team | Redshirt freshman QB Justin Tuggle will transfer according to head coach Tony Spaziani. Tuggle began the season as a starter but had to split time with David Shinskie, who took over as the full-time starter in Week 4. | | 10/27 | 10:55am | Josh Haden | RB | Out For Year | Left team | Sophomore RB Josh Haden has decided to leave the team, citing more playing time as a reason why he came to this decision. Haden was a reserve RB for the Eagles (No. 2 behind fellow sophomore Montel Harris). | | 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). | | 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: Vanderbilt at Florida on 11/07
|
| 10/31 | 7:09am | Justin Trattou | DT | Probable | Arm | Junior DT Justin Trattou missed the Miss State game with a biceps tendon injury, but he is upgraded to probable for Georgia. Though initially expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Trattou is able to play because his injury is more of a pain problem than a structural issue according to head coach Urban Meyer. Trattou is considered to be a "fifth starter" according to the coaching staff, which means he is a highly regarded reserve player in the defensive line rotation. | | 10/30 | 10:43am | Moses Jenkins | CB | Out | Concussion | Junior CB Moses Jenkins was knocked out of the Kentucky game (concussion) and missed three games. He is out indefinitely. The reserve CB has not displayed proper signs of recovery from post-concussion symptoms. | | 10/30 | 10:43am | Wondy Pierre-Louis | CB | Out | Undisclosed | Senior CB Wondy Pierre-Louis sustained an undisclosed injury during the Miss State game and did not return. He is ruled out for Georgia. Pierre-Louis is a reserve CB who primarily backs up sophomore standout Janoris Jenkins. | | 10/28 | 9:14am | Lawrence Marsh | DT | Probable | Ankle | Junior NT Lawrence Marsh continues to battle a slow-healing ankle injury (high ankle sprain) that has limited his playing time. He did not play against Arkansas or Miss State and is upgraded to probable for Georgia. Marsh is the No. 1 NT on the depth chart this season. | | 10/28 | 9:14am | Jaye Howard | DT | Probable | Knee | Sophomore NT Jaye Howard has a bruised knee that has limited his ability to practice. He missed the Arkansas and Miss State games and is upgraded to probable for Georgia. The young defensive lineman began the season as a starting NT for the Gators in 2009. | | 10/28 | 9:13am | Brandon Spikes | LB | Probable | Groin | Senior LB Brandon Spikes injured his groin against Arkansas and missed the Miss State game for precautionary reasons. He is probable for Georgia. Spikes, a first-team All-American in 2008 after leading the Gators in tackles, has been slowed by injury in 2009. | | 10/28 | 9:11am | Brandon Antwine | DT | Out | Shoulder | Junior NT Brandon Antwine played sparingly against Arkansas and Miss State and is ruled out for Georgia. Antwine is battling a slow-healing shoulder injury he sustained earlier in the season. | | 10/26 | 9:06am | Jeff Demps | RB | Probable | Neck | Sophomore RB Jeff Demps injured his neck against Miss State. He is probable for the Georgia game. Demps is the most reliable and most valuable Florida RB because of his blazing speed and playmaking ability. | | 10/25 | 10:12am | Jelani Jenkins | LB | Out | Ankle | True freshman LB Jelani Jenkins missed the Arkansas and Miss State games and is out indefinitely. Jenkins has struggled with the injury all season long (playing sparingly on special teams when he does see time on the field), but head coach Urban Meyer does not want to medically redshirt him just yet. | | 10/25 | 10:05am | Dorian Munroe | S | Out | Knee | Senior safety Dorian Munroe tore his meniscus in practice and underwent surgery in late August. He is out indefinitely. 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. | | 10/08 | 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. | | 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 Clemson on 11/07
|
| 10/30 | 10:23pm | Vince Williams | LB | Out | Back | Sophomore MLB Vince Williams has not played this season and is out indefinitely with a back injury. 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. | | 10/30 | 10:04am | Budd Thacker | DT | Out | Knee | Senior DT Budd Thacker will miss at least two games (@UNC and NC State) with a Grade 3 sprain of his left MCL. Thacker traveled with the team to UNC but did not play. Due to the injuries suffered by FSU defensive tackles this season, Thacker, a career reserve, made multiple starts prior to his injury. | | 10/30 | 10:02am | Ochuko Jenije | CB | Probable | Leg | Junior CB Ochuko Jenije suffered an unspecified leg injury during the UNC game and is probable for NC State. Jenije is a starting CB for the Seminoles. | | 10/30 | 10:01am | Richard Goodman | WR | Probable | Groin | Senior WR Richard Goodman missed the UNC game due to a groin injury and is upgraded to probable for NC State. Goodman had been a reserve WR for the Seminoles for much of his career prior to earning more playing time in 2009. | | 10/30 | 10:00am | Xavier Rhodes | CB | Questionable | Thumb | True freshman CB Xavier Rhodes missed the UNC game with a thumb injury and is questionable for NC State. Rhodes is a reserve DB for the Seminoles. With the injuries to Dionte Allen and Patrick Robinson, Rhodes' injury leaves the CB rotation thin. | | 10/30 | 9:59am | Patrick Robinson | CB | Questionable | Ankle | Senior CB Patrick Robinson is questionable for the NC State game despite playing last week against UNC. Robinson is the most experienced cornerback on the Seminoles' roster. | | 10/30 | 9:56am | Garrett Faircloth | T | Out | Hip | True freshman LT Garrett Faircloth will not play against NC State due to a hip injury. Faircloth is a reserve OT for the Seminoles. | | 10/30 | 9:51am | Dionte Allen | CB | Out | Thumb | Sophomore CB Dionte Allen missed the UNC game with a thumb injury and is ruled out for NC State. With the injuries to Allen, senior starter Patrick Robinson, and freshman reserve Xavier Rhodes, the CB rotation for FSU is wearing thin. | | 10/27 | 11:34am | Dekoda Watson | LB | Probable | Groin | Senior LB Dekoda Watson was held out of position practice during the bye week with a groin injury and missed the UNC game. His status for NC State is probable. Watson is the No. 1 SLB on the depth chart. In 2008, he led the team in tackles for loss (eight). | | 10/26 | 8:37am | Justin Mincey | DT | Probable | Knee | Senior DT Justin Mincey played sparingly against UNC, which likely ended his pursuit of a redshirt for the 2009 season. He is probable for NC State. The senior starter at DT made four starts in 2008, amassing nine tackles (4.5 tackles for loss). | | 10/20 | 7:58am | Maurice Harris | LB | Out For Year | Neck | Sophomore LB Maurice Harris will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a neck injury (cervical burner) he suffered during the GT game. Harris is a reserve WLB who has made one start this season for the Seminoles. In six games played in 2009, Harris made 15 tackles. With Vince Williams yet to play this season, Harris' injury hurts FSU's depth at LB. | | 10/20 | 7:54am | Demonte McAllister | DT | Out For Year | Ankle/Redshirt | True freshman DT Demonte McAllister has missed the first five games of the season with an ankle injury (out indefinitely). With fellow tackles Mincey close to returning and McCray returning, it is unlikely that McAllister will play the rest of the season. McAllister remains eligible for a redshirt. | | 10/19 | 9:15am | Caz Piurowski | TE | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Senior TE Caz Piurowski will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a torn ACL and MCL. Piurowski was considered to be a great blocker (injured while blocking during a TD run) and viable receiving option (13 catches for 182 yards and 2 TDs in 2009) for the Seminoles. Beau Reliford and Ja'Barris Little will fill in for Piurowski. | | 10/11 | 11:40am | Aaron Gresham | LB | Out | Knee | Sophomore LB Aaron Gresham is out indefinitely. 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. | | 10/11 | 11:39am | John Prior | T | Out | Knee | True freshman OT John Prior is out indefinitely with a knee injury. Prior is a reserve OL for the Seminoles in his true freshman season, but it appears he will receive 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: Fresno State at Idaho on 11/07
|
| 10/25 | 8:32pm | Devon Wylie | WR | Questionable | Hamstring | Wylie suffered a hamstring injury vs. San Jose State and was not able to return to the game nor play at NMSU.

|
Next game: Oklahoma State at Iowa State on 11/07
|
| 10/31 | 5:26am | Austen Arnaud | QB | Questionable | Hand | Starting QB Arnaud missed some time in week seven due to a bruised throwing hand and was surprisingly held out of action in week eight. He has been downgraded to questionable-gametime decision to play on Oct. 31 against Texas A&M as Iowa State needs to make sure there's no swelling in his hand. Jerome Tiller filled in well for Arnaud the past two weeks, even leading the Cyclones to their first win of the year last weekend. | | 10/31 | 5:25am | Alexander Robinson | RB | Probable | Groin | Star RB Robinson re-injured his already ailing groin in week seven and was a late and surprising scratch in week eight. The Cyclones have already announced they consider him probable to play on Oct. 31 against Texas A&M, as clearly he is more injured than initially reported. Robinson is among the top RB in the Big XII. He has racked up over 650 yards and six TDs on over 120 carries this season. Jeremiah Schwartz is the #2 option at RB. | | 10/30 | 9:43am | Reggie Stephens | C | Out | Appendix | Stephens is out indefinitely and will probably not play again this season after having surgery to remove his appendix prior to week nine. The starting center will be replaced by Junior Sean Smith. Stephens had started the previous 36 games for the Cyclones. | | 10/27 | 2:19pm | James Smith | S | Probable | Suspension | Smith has to sit out the first half of Iowa State's game on Oct. 31 against Texas A&M due to an NCAA rule that mandates anyone ejected from a game sit at least a half of the next game. Zac Sandvig will get the start at safety and play until Smith can return. | | 10/27 | 2:17pm | Jesse Smith | LB | Questionable | Illness | Smith has been dealing with the flu for the past few days and is questionable to play on Oct. 31 against Texas A&M. The starting linebacker is among several Cyclones who have fallen ill and was reportedly vomiting on the sidelines in week seven. | | 10/27 | 2:16pm | Ben Lamaak | OG | Questionable | Illness | Starting G Lamaak is one of several Iowa State players to have come down the flu. He is questionable to be healthy enough to play on Oct. 31 against Texas A&M. | | 10/25 | 10:49am | Beau Blankenship | RB | Questionable | Foot | Blankenship did not play on Oct. 24 against Nebraska due to a foot injury and should be considered questionable to return on Oct. 31 against Texas A&M. Though listed as the #2 on the depth chart, Jeremiah Schwartz has received the most work behind starter Alexander Robinson at the halfback position this year. Robinson is nicked up right now, so expect the reserves to see more carries than normal for Iowa State. Obviously if Blankenship cannot play, that places a lot of strain on Schwartz, the only truly healthy ballcarrier. | | 10/08 | 7:49am | Allen Bell | S | Out For Year | Left Team | Bell will no longer play football for Iowa State, however the senior safety plans to remain in school and graduate. Buried on the depth chart at safety, Bell did not appear in any games this year. | | 10/08 | 7:48am | Devin McDowell | DB | Out For Year | Left Team | McDowell is no longer a member of the Iowa State Cyclones and has decided to transfer to a Division II school. He was listed as a co-second string player at cornerback behind starter Jeremy Reeves but played sparingly this season, appearing in only one game. | | 09/30 | 9:17am | Darius Reynolds | WR | Out | Leg | Reynolds is out indefinitely after breaking his leg in practice leading up to week five's matchup with Kansas State. The junior college transfer has been starting at wideout for the Cyclones, bringing in 13 receptions for 72 yards on the year. | | 09/30 | 8:58am | Rashawn Parker | DE | Out For Year | Knee | Parker will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL during Iowa State's week four win against Army. The senior had started 28 consecutive games and was responsible for 13 tackles and two sacks already this season. Untested reserves including sophomore Patrick Neal and redshirt freshman Roosevelt Maggitt will attempt to step in for Parker. |
|
Next game: FCS (1-AA) Opponent at Kentucky on 11/07
|
| 10/30 | 10:59pm | Trevard Lindley | CB | Doubtful | Ankle | Senior CB Trevard Lindley has missed three straight games with an ankle injury and is doubtful for Miss State. 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 Miss State, look for Randall Burden to fill in for Lindley. | | 10/30 | 10:58pm | Micah Johnson | LB | Probable | Knee | Senior LB Micah Johnson suffered a knee injury during the ULM game and did not return. He is probable for Miss State, though head coach Rich Brooks said that Johnson will not start against the Bulldogs. Johnson is considered to be one of the top LBs in the SEC this season. | | 10/27 | 10:53am | Alfonso Smith | RB | Probable | Wrist | Senior RB Alfonso Smith sustained a wrist injury during the ULM game and is probable for Miss State. The senior RB has struggled with injuries all season, resulting in him being dropped down the depth chart behind junior Derrick Locke. | | 10/27 | 10:52am | Derrick Locke | RB | Probable | Knee | Junior RB Derrick Locke is still bothered by a knee ligament strain, an injury that has him probable for Miss State. Locke was able to start against ULM and had 10 carries, but he only had 36 rushing yards and was clearly affected by the knee. | | 10/27 | 10:52am | Randall Cobb | WR | Probable | Knee | Sophomore WR Randall Cobb is probable for Miss State after suffering a knee injury against ULM. Cobb, UK's best playmaker, is vital to the Wildcats' offensive attack, as he is the top receiver and the best option to run the Wildcat. | | 10/14 | 10:24am | Jake Lanefski | G | Out For Year | Knee | Sophomore Jake Lanefski will miss the rest of the season with a severe knee injury according to head coach Rich Brooks. Lanefski is a reserve offensive lineman who plays center and both guard positions. Lanefski's injury will hurt the Wildcats' depth on the offensive line, as his injury is the second season-ending injury to a reserve offensive lineman for Kentucky this season (Marcus Davis was the first). | | 10/14 | 10:17am | Mike Hartline | QB | Out | Knee | Junior QB Mike Hartline suffered a severe injury to his left knee during the South Carolina game and did not return. He is out for four to six weeks, but the injury is not season-ending. Fellow junior Will Fidler is the likely replacement for Hartline. | | 09/06 | 12:20pm | Marcus Davis | C | Out For Year | Ankle | Junior 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). | | 08/30 | 9:37am | Aaron Boyd | WR | Out For Year | Redshirt | Sophomore 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. | | 08/26 | 8:13am | Jonathan George | RB | Out | Ankle | True 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. | | 08/25 | 5:48am | EJ Fields | WR | Out | Foot | Redshirt 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. | | 08/09 | 5:04pm | Jeremy Jarmon | DE | Out For Year | Suspension | Senior Jarmon has been suspended for the 2009 season after testing positive for a banned substance. Jarmon co-led the Wildcats in QB-sacks a year ago and was named to the 2nd Team All-SEC. Jarmon's departure leaves UK with a corps of very inexperienced defensive ends. | | 08/09 | 5:00pm | EJ Adams | WR | Out For Year | Personal | Adams has left the football team due to personal reasons. He played in 12 games as a junior in 2008, starting nine, and caught 14 passes for 180 yards. He played cornerback his first two seasons at UK before switching to receiver a year ago. Kentucky appears set with a the starting trio of Randall Cobb, Chris Matthews and Kyrus Lanxter at receiver. | | 08/09 | 4:53pm | Chris Cessna | TE | Out For Year | Medical Hardship | Cessna has given up football because of injuries. He plans to stay in school and will receive a medical hardship scholarship. He did not see varsity game action during his two years with the team. | | 08/09 | 4:51pm | DeAunte Mason | QB | Out For Year | Transfer | Mason has transferred to Alabama A&M. He was not going to be involved with the Wildcat offense in 2009. |
|
Next game: Louisville at West Virginia on 11/07
|
| 10/31 | 5:38am | Victor Anderson | RB | Questionable | Shoulder | Anderson, Louisville's leading rusher, was limited in week seven and missed part of the game in week eight due to a nagging shoulder injury. He has been downgraded to questionable (game time decision) to play on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State as he might not be at full strength, and HC Steve Kragthorpe may elect to rest his star. Last year's BIG EAST Newcomer of the Year, Anderson
is the Cardinals leading rusher. If he needs to have his snaps limited
again, expect the additional work to fall to backup Bilal Powell. It should be noted that Arkansas State has a very stout rushing defense, and that might be a factor in the decision to play Anderson. | | 10/31 | 5:37am | Adam Froman | QB | Questionable | Elbow | Froman has been downgraded to questionable (game time decision) to play after beginning the week expected to be Louisville's starting QB on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State despite a minor elbow injury that forced him out in week eight for the fourth quarter. Froman is expected to play the entire game if able, as Justin Burke, with whom Froman has been saring snaps, is out with injury. But with the key phrase being "if able," redshirt freshman walk-on Will Stein, who played the fourth quarter last weekend, is getting consideration to start. | | 10/28 | 8:56am | Andrew Robinson | CB | Probable | Groin | Robinson has missed the past two games with a groin injury but is hoping to return on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State. The corner is needed back as the Louisville secondary is ravaged by injury. | | 10/28 | 8:52am | Justin Burke | QB | Doubtful | Shoulder | Burke hurt his shoulder on the first series in Louisville's week eight game and was unable to play after that. He is doubtful to be ready to play on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State. Adam Froman has been splitting time at QB with Burke this year, and while Froman himself is banged up, he looks like he'll be able to start. | | 10/26 | 3:20pm | Trent Guy | WR/KR | Questionable | Knee | Guy suffered a knee injury in week eight and was knocked out of the game. Consider the #4 WR and primary kick returner questionable to play on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State. He has brought in seven catches for 120 yards and a TD this year. Jacques Caldwell replaced him in the return game. | | 10/25 | 11:55am | Preston Pace | CB | Questionable | Shoulder | Pace had to leave Louisville's week eight game due to a shoulder injury and he could not return. Pace is questionable to play on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State. Bobby Burns saw more reps in place of Pace last weekend. | | 10/18 | 5:03pm | Karldell Dunning | CB | Out | Groin | Dunning is working through a groin injury and has only played in one game this season. The sophomore reserve is out indefinitely, and likely will not play much even once 100% | | 09/28 | 5:47pm | Terrence Simien | S | Out | Kidney | Simien 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. | | 08/11 | 2:09am | Damion Dixon | WR | Out For Year | Transfer | Dixon will transfer from Louisville and sit out the 2009 season. He sat out last season as a redshirt. |

| 10/30 | 10:36am | Gavin Hardin | DE | Out For Year | Upper extremity | Redshirt freshman DE Gavin Hardin will miss the 2009 season with an upper extremity injury. Hardin was the 2008 scout team DPOY. Hardin did not appear on the depth chart at DE after spring practice. | | 10/30 | 10:14am | Aravious Armstrong | S | Out | Knee | True freshman FS Aravious "Ray Ray" Armstrong will miss the Wake Forest game with a knee injury. Armstrong had worked his way into a starting position before sustaining the injury against Clemson the previous week. Senior Randy Phillips will start at FS against the Demon Deacons. | | 10/30 | 10:10am | Eric Moncur | DE | Out | Lower extremity | Senior DE Eric Moncur is battling a lower extremity injury that will keep him out of the Wake Forest game. Moncur has missed two games earlier this season with a groin injury. | | 10/30 | 10:09am | Javarris James | RB | Out | Ankle | Senior RB Javarris James will miss the Wake Forest game with an ankle injury. James is the leading rusher for the Hurricanes this season and one of the top rushers in Hurricanes' history. Juniors Graig Cooper and Damien Berry are likely replacements for James. | | 10/30 | 10:05am | JoJo Nicolas | S | Out | Upper extremity | Junior SS JoJo Nicolas missed the Clemson game and is downgraded to out for Wake Forest. The No. 2 SS has missed a few games this season already due to illness/injury. | | 10/27 | 11:42am | Sean Spence | LB | Out | Ankle | Sophomore LB Sean Spence will miss the Wake Forest game with a left ankle injury he sustained during the Clemson game. Spence, the 2008 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year, is one of Miami's key defensive players. In his absence (which is compounded due to the absence of Jordan Futch), fellow sophomore Ramon Buchanan will have to step up. | | 10/24 | 10:36pm | Patrick Hill | FB | Out | Lower extremity | Senior FB Patrick Hill missed four games with a lower extremity injury and is out indefinitely. 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 and did an excellent job, so he is the likely starter against Clemson. | | 10/16 | 12:29pm | Richard Gordon | TE | Out For Year | Arm | Senior TE Richard Gordon had his right arm in a sling during the Sept 9 practice and has not played since. He is ruled out for the season by head coach Randy Shannon. Senior Dedrick Epps (last year's starter) and former UM basketball player Jimmy Graham have been stepping up in Gordon's place. | | 10/16 | 12:28pm | Adewale Ojomo | DE | Out For Year | Jaw | DE Adewale Ojomo had surgery in mid August for a broken jaw and is out for the season. HC Randy Shannon, who confirmed Ojomo had surgery but would not disclose the injury, reiterated after practice that the sophomore was hurt "horsing around in the locker room." Shannon said Ojomo, who started three games last year and is one of the bright young stars at defensive end, is out indefinitely. Shannon repeated that Ojomo was not suspended for any reason. | | 10/16 | 12:28pm | Marcus Forston | DT | Out For Year | Lower extremity | Sophomore DT Marcus Forston missed the FAMU game and is out indefinitely. Forston missed the VT game (Sept 26) with a lower extremity (ankle) injury but returned for the Oklahoma game. There is a good chance that he will redshirt this season according to head coach Randy Shannon. Forston was considered the top defensive lineman on the Canes roster and one of the top DLs in the ACC entering the 2009 season, but he has struggled with injuries this season and has yet to record a tackle. | | 10/13 | 11:27am | Ryan Hill | CB | Out For Year | Upper extremity | Senior CB Ryan Hill missed the FAMU game with a shoulder injury and is likely out for the season. The senior reserve defensive back made five starts (in 13 total games) at CB last season, making 34 tackles. Hill has already missed one game this season (FSU) with a shoulder injury and currently qualifies for a medical redshirt (has only played in three games). | | 10/13 | 11:25am | Dyron Dye | DE | Out For Year | Lower extremity | True freshman DE Dyron Dye missed the Oklahoma and FAMU games with a lower extremity injury. He is likely out for the season according to head coach Randy Shannon. Dye is a reserve DE for the Hurricanes in 2009. His injury affects Miami's depth at the position, with Andrew Smith battling back from an injury and Eric Moncur also trying to fight back from a preseason injury. | | 10/13 | 11:04am | Jordan Futch | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Sophomore LB Jordan Futch will miss the rest of the season with a severe knee injury. Futch had started two games for the Hurricanes and was an important performer on special teams. Fellow sophomore Sean Spence will continue to start in place of Futch. | | 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. | | 08/25 | 1:10pm | Taylor Cook | QB | Out For Year | Transfer | Backup 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. | | 08/25 | 1:09pm | Cannon Smith | QB | Out For Year | Transfer | Reserve 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. |
