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.

Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/294:18pmBlake SzymanskiQB Doubtful ShoulderSzymanski is unlikely to play on Oct. 31 against Nebraska due to a bruised shoulder.  The senior will be replaced in the starting lineup by talented if inexperienced freshman Nick Florence.  Florence got the start in week seven and played well, completing 60% of his passes and also connecting for a TD.  Szymanski and Florence had basically been splitting time since Robert Griffith was knocked out for the season four weeks ago.
10/272:20pmAntareis BryanCB Out FootStarting CB Bryan, the most experienced member of the Bears secondary, is nearing a return after breaking a bone in his foot during week three's match-up with UConn.  He is unlikely to play in week eight, however a week nine return seems possible.  Bryan will replaced by the tandem of Clifton Odom and Mikail Baker. 
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.

Date Time Player Name Pos Status Injury Notes
10/2910:43amDoug MartinRB Probable Pulled MuscleMartin is dealing with a pulled muscle but is expected to play against San Jose State. The sophomore backup ranks second on the team in rushing attempts and yards but is the team-leader in rushing touchdowns. If Martin cannot go, the Broncos will look to RS freshman Matt Kaiserman for depth behind starter Jeremy Avery.
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.

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).
08/105:33pmMark HerzlichLB Out For Year CancerHerzlich has been diagnosed with a rare type of bone cancer in his left leg.

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.

10/2810:26amJarred FaysonWR Doubtful KneeFayson has a knee injury and has missed the last two games. He ranked second on the team with 11 receptions before the injury. Chris Duvalt and A.J. Jenkins stand a chance to get more balls thrown their direction in Fayson's absence. The junior is likely to miss his third straight game this week as he is listed at No. 3 on the depth chart.
10/2810:24amGarrett EdwardsS Probable NeckEdwards is dealing with a strained neck. The junior started against Purdue after missing the Indiana game, but he missed some time after tweaking his neck. He returned to the Purdue game, so he should be fine for Michigan.
10/257:50pmDonsay HardemanS Doubtful NeckHardeman was taken off the field on a stretcher in the week seven game vs. Indiana and sat out the Purdue matchup. He has no structural damage, only a stiff neck. MRI and CT scans were negative but because of Hardeman's history, medical personnel were taking every precaution (he had surgery in the offseason to to fuse vertebrae in his neck). If Hardeman is kept out again in week nine look for senior Garrett Edwards to continue to fill in.
10/257:47pmCory LiguetDT Questionable AnkleLiguet suffered an ankle injury early in the Penn State game and did not return. HC Zook had claimed Liguet probable for Michigan State but he has not played since week five. Senior Sirod Williams started in place of Liguet in the last three games.
09/1712:46pmMartez WilsonLB Out For Year NeckWilson will miss the remainder of the season with a herniated disk in his neck. The two-year starter's neck started bothering him before the week one season opener but played anyway. He did not play last week against Illinois State. No word as to who will replace Wilson at MLB next week when the Illini face-off with Ohio State. Illinois opened the week two game with a nickel package and only used two linebackers - regular starters Ian Thomas (SLB) and Russell Ellington (WLB).
08/212:39pmMiami ThomasCB Out For Year KneeCB Miami Thomas will miss the season after tearing the ACL in his left knee. The projected starter missed last season when he tore the ACL in his right knee. HC Zook said, "It's a shame. I feel so bad for him. But a year from now, he'll be ready, and we'll get him ready to go. He will have had both shoulders and both knees fixed, so he should be a 'Six Million Dollar Man'."
08/0911:23pmJerry BrownDE Out For Year AcademicsProjected starting DE Jerry Brown is reportedly gone due to academic reasons. The junior was praised for his standout pass rushing abilities in the spring but will sit out the 2009 season. Senior Doug Pilcher will start on one side of the defensive line and group of very inexperienced players will battle for the other starting spot.
08/0911:17pmReggie EllisDL Out For Year Left TeamRedshirt freshman Reggie Ellis has left the team and will transfer. He was listed as a reserve defensive tackle on the depth chart.

10/2911:15amChris AdkinsCB Doubtful ElbowAdkins sat out the Northwestern game with an elbow injury and has been downgraded to expected to miss this weekend's matchup at Iowa. The sophomore has played in all but two games this year mostly as backup to starter Donnell Jones.
10/2810:44amPete SaxonOL Probable AnkleSaxon suffered an ankle injury in the week six Virginia game and was forced to sit out the past two games. The senior has been upgraded to probable for the Iowa matchup. Senior Mike Reiter filled in for Saxon last week and will be available again at Iowa if necessary.
10/279:45amLeon BeckumLB Probable AnkleBeckum is dealing with an ankle injury that kept him from playing in the last three games. The reserve has played in four games this season and has two tackles. Beckum has been upgraded to probable for the game at Iowa.
10/258:12pmWill PattersonLB Questionable HandPatterson suffered a hand injury vs. Illinois in week seven and missed the road trip to Northwestern. Fifth-year senior Justin Carrington got the start for Patterson at weakside LB. Patterson is questionable for Iowa.
10/258:11pmZach Davis-WalkerRB Out FootDavis-Walker sat out the Northwestern matchup due to an injured foot and is questionable for Iowa. The reserve has played in one game this year and has 17 total yards rushing.
10/258:09pmJarrod SmithDT Questionable BackSmith sat out the Northwestern game due to a back injury and is questionable for the road trip to Iowa. The junior reserve has played in five games this season and has one tackle.
10/258:06pmFred JonesDE Questionable FootJones sat out the last six games with a foot injury and is questionable for Iowa. The sophomore does not appear to be in the regular rotation of the defensive ends and was likely not going to play if healthy.
10/258:06pmDarius JohnsonDE Questionable ShoulderJohnson sat out the last five games due to a shoulder injury and is questionable for Iowa. He is one of the Hoosiers' key defensive reserves. His absence depletes an already thin group of defensive ends. Junior Deonte Mack could be the team's third defensive lineman after recently moving from defensive tackle to defensive end.
08/243:40pmKellen LewisQB Out For Year DismissedIndiana dismissed QB Kellen Lewis due to continued violations of team policy. He leaves IU with 16 career passing records and will play the 2009 season for Valdosta State. Junior Ben Chappell takes over starting duties for the Hoosiers. Chappell completed 80 passes for over 1000 yards and four touchdowns in 2008. RS freshman Adam Follett is listed as Chappell's backup, but true freshman Edward Wright-Baker may end up filling that role.

10/2911:17amColin SandemanWR/PR Doubtful ConcussionSandeman laid motionless after a jarring fourth quarter hit at Michigan State, but walked off the field. Sandeman's status is doubtful for this week. If Sandeman cannot play, Iowa could be down to its third option on punt returns. The junior has nine receptions on the season but leads the team in punt return yards.
10/2810:54amAdam RobinsonRB Out For Year AnkleRobinson is lost for the rest of the regular season with an ankle injury. HC Ferentz wouldn't go into specifics, but compared it to the high ankle sprain Tony Moeaki suffered earlier this season. Ferentz is hopeful Robinson can return for the bowl game. True freshman Brandon Wegher will replace Robinson as the starting tailback, while junior Paki O'Meara becomes Wegher's top backup.
10/2610:20amBrett GreenwoodS Questionable UncertainGreenwood was carted off the field in the third quarter of the Michigan State game following a helmet-to-helmet collision with a teammate. He returned to the sideline in street clothes and is questionable for the upcoming Indiana matchup. Sophomore David Cato has received the most playing time behind the starting safeties and might be Greenwood's replacement in the starting lineup in week nine.
10/2610:14amDace RichardsonOL Out For Year LegRichardson suffered a broken bone in his lower left leg and will miss the remainder of the regular season. He should be able to return in time for a bowl game. The senior spent the past two years overcoming knee problems but was finally having a go this year in the trenches. HC Ferentz has not named a replacement yet.
10/149:07amPaul ChaneyWR/PR Out For Year KneeChaney suffered a knee injury in the Michigan game and will miss the remainder of the season. He was replaced by fellow junior Colin Sandeman on punt returns.
09/0111:56amJewell HamptonRB Out For Year KneeSophomore Jewell Hampton tweaked his knee and has not been able to practice for most of camp. This is the same knee that he injured in early July off-season workouts. HC Ferentz announced today that Hampton will miss the 2009 season. Iowa's week one depth chart lists junior Paki O'Meara as the starter followed by RS freshman Adam Robinson. RS freshman Jeff Brinson is also in the mix, but he missed a good chunk of camp with an ankle injury.
08/0911:29pmJacody ColemanLB Out For Year TransferJunior Jacody Coleman has decided to transfer to Lamar in an effort to find more playing time. He started three games in his two years as a Hawkeye and accumulated 52 tackles but 2nd Team All-Big 10 Pat Angerer has a lock on the starting MLB job.

10/315:26amAusten ArnaudQB Questionable HandStarting 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.
10/315:25amAlexander RobinsonRB Probable GroinStar 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.
10/309:43amReggie StephensC Out AppendixStephens 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.
10/272:19pmJames SmithS Probable SuspensionSmith 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.
10/272:17pmJesse SmithLB Questionable IllnessSmith 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. 
10/272:16pmBen LamaakOG Questionable IllnessStarting 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.
10/2510:49amBeau BlankenshipRB Questionable FootBlankenship 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.
10/087:49amAllen BellS Out For Year Left TeamBell 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.
10/087:48amDevin McDowellDB Out For Year Left TeamMcDowell 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.
09/309:17amDarius ReynoldsWR Out LegReynolds 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.
09/308:58amRashawn ParkerDE Out For Year KneeParker 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.

10/262:30pmJake SharpRB Probable LegSharp is expected to play but not at 100% on Oct. 31 against Texas Tech as he continues to deal with a leg injury that forced him to miss three games earlier this season.  According to HC Mike Mangino, Sharp will not be at 100% for the rest of the season and is only playing because he is "extremely tough".  When healthy, Sharp is one of the most explosive running backs in the Big XII, but he might not be at full strength again this season.  Toben Operum is the #2 and has been running well with Sharp hobbled.
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. Lueken was involved in an offseason incident with former RB Jocques Crawford, who also left the program before the season started. The details of the case haven't been completely revealed.
08/104:31pmJocques CrawfordRB Out For Year TransferSenior tailback Jocques Crawford has decided to leave Kansas and transfer to a lower division school. 'Jocques was looking for an opportunity to get more playing time,' Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. 'We support his decision and wish him well.'

10/1912:36pmBrandon HaroldDE Out For Year KneeHarold again re-injured his knee on Oct. 17 against Texas A&M after he re-aggravated that same knee injury in week six that he originally suffered prior to opening weekend and forced him out of the first five games.  K-State has elected to shut him down for the season.  He began fall camp as a projected starter on the defensive line.
09/146:38pmBrock UnruhOL Out For Year ChestUnruh will not play this season after suffering a chest injury prior to the season opener.  It was hoped that the reserve offensive lineman could return later in the season but that will not be the case.  Unruh is likely to take a medical redshirt.

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.
09/1410:28pmEugene JarvisRB Out For Year KidneyJarvis suffered a kidney injury in the first half of the week two game vs. Boston College and was taken to the hospital where he will remain for about a week. The fifth-year senior is expected to make a full recovery in 6-8 weeks and the school will ask the NCAA for a sixth season of eligibility. 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. Sophomores Josh Pleasant and Chris Gilbert will contend for the starting job now - Pleasant being the only one with any starting experience (2 games).

10/3010:58pmMicah JohnsonLB Probable KneeSenior 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.
10/2710:53amAlfonso SmithRB Probable WristSenior 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.
10/2710:52amDerrick LockeRB Probable KneeJunior 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.
10/2710:52amRandall CobbWR Probable KneeSophomore 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.
10/1410:24amJake LanefskiG Out For Year KneeSophomore 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).
10/1410:17amMike HartlineQB Out KneeJunior 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.

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.
08/095:04pmJeremy JarmonDE Out For Year SuspensionSenior 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.

10/2112:01pmUndrea SailsRB Out For Year LegSenior RB Undrea Sails left the WKU game with a leg fracture and did not return.  He is out for the rest of the season with the injury and will petition to the NCAA for another year of eligibility.  Sails is ULL's starting RB and the team's leading rusher.

10/315:38amVictor AndersonRB Questionable ShoulderAnderson, 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.
10/315:37amAdam FromanQB Questionable ElbowFroman 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.
10/288:56amAndrew RobinsonCB Probable GroinRobinson 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.

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.

10/2410:36pmPatrick HillFB Out Lower extremitySenior 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.
10/1612:29pmRichard GordonTE Out For Year ArmSenior TE Richard Gordon had his right arm in a sling during the Sept 9 practice and has not played since.  He is ruled out for the season by head coach Randy Shannon.  Senior Dedrick Epps (last year's starter) and former UM basketball player Jimmy Graham have been stepping up in Gordon's place.
