Next game: Texas at Baylor on 11/14
|
| 11/07 | 6:08am | Jay Finley | RB | Probable | Various | Finley has been extremely ineffective the past three weeks as he returned to action following a variety of injuries. Despite his drop in production, Baylor has no plans to shut the halfback down completely, so consider him probable to play moving forward. Finley amassed only 19 yards on eight carries in week nine. | | 11/06 | 9:03am | Antareis Bryan | CB | Probable | Foot | Starting 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 has been upgraded to probable to come back on Nov. 7 against MIssouri after beginning the week as a question mark. Bryan is being replaced by the tandem of Clifton Odom and Mikail Baker. | | 11/04 | 1:37pm | Blake Szymanski | QB | Probable | Shoulder | Szymanski did not play on Oct. 31 against Nebraska due to a bruised shoulder but he's probable to be available on Nov. 7 against Missouri. Szymanski is unlikely to start the game, but if needed, he can play. The senior was replaced in the starting lineup by talented if inexperienced freshman Nick Florence, who will continue to start. Szymanski and Florence had basically been splitting time anyhow since Robert Griffith was knocked out for the season four weeks ago. | | 09/28 | 8:22am | Robert Griffin | QB | Out For Year | Knee | Griffin suffered a torn ACL in week four's win over Northwestern State and will not play again this season. The talented sophomore was initially injured on the first drive of the game when his leg bent awkwardly as he was tackled, but Griffin remained in the game until halftime with his knee heavily wrapped before being removed for good. Griffin was responsible for 28 total touchdowns as a freshman in 2008 and considered the Bears best hope of making a bowl game in 2009. Senior Blake Szymanski, who was the starting QB before Griffin arrived on campus, is slated to take over the starting spot. | | 09/28 | 8:21am | Mikail Baker | DB | Out For Year | Knee | Baker is out for the season after tearing his ACL in week four against Northwestern State. The senior defensive back sees action in nickle and dime packages, but perhaps his biggest contributions come on special teams, where he is the Bears top kick returner. |

Next game: West Virginia at Cincinnati on 11/13
|
| 11/07 | 6:09am | Tony Pike | QB | Questionable | Wrist | Bearcats' starting QB Pike did not play the past two weeks due to a sprained wrist. Consider him questionable to return on Nov. 7 against UConn, and since there have been no updates on his status this week, unlikely to start. Zach Collaros has started at QB performed well, tossing only two incomplete passes, so he would likely be in line for another start if needed but perhaps Pike is healthy enough to enter the game in reserve. | | 11/04 | 7:19am | Sam Griffin | OL | Probable | Illness | An illness kept Griffin from playing in week nine against Syracuse but he's been upgraded to probable to return on Nov. 7 against UConn. Griffin is perhaps the Bearcats' top offensive lineman when healthy. | | 11/02 | 12:03pm | Ben Guidugli | TE | Probable | Concussion | Senior TE Guidugli suffered a minor concussion in week nine but is probable to play on Nov. 7 against UConn. The high-octane Bearcats' offense relies heavily on the TE spot as both as a blocker and receiver. | | 10/06 | 9:52am | Robby Armstrong | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Starting LB Armstrong underwent season-ending knee surgery prior to Cincinnati's week five matchup with Miami (OH) and will not play again this season. Sophomore Alex Delisi was elevated into the starting lineup to replace Armstrong. | | 10/03 | 6:19am | John Goebel | RB | Out | Hamstring | Goebel remains out indefinitely with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of action all season long. The redshirt freshman was in the mix for carries during fall camp but obviously now health is his only concern. | | 09/18 | 2:22pm | Malik James | DB | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore DB James has left the University of Cincinnati to return to his native California, ending his football career as a Bearcat. James played sparingly, primarily appearing on special teams in his one plus year on the team. | | 08/11 | 1:57am | Vidal Hazelton | WR | Out For Year | Eligibility | Projected starter and USC transfer Vidal Hazelton will not play in 2009 after the NCAA denied his request to become immediately eligible. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver caught 50 passes for 540 yards with the Trojans in 2007. Bothered by a high ankle sprain last season, he had only six receptions. Hazelton's addition could have given Cincinnati the deepest receiving corps in the Big East. The Bearcats still return Mardy Gilyard, a first-team All-Big East performer last year, and improving sophomore D.J. Woods. |
|
Next game: Florida at South Carolina on 11/14
|
| 11/06 | 10:23am | Brandon Spikes | LB | Out | Suspension | Senior LB Brandon Spikes will be suspended for the entire Vanderbilt game after the national media erupted over his original suspension duration (one half v. Vandy). Spikes committed what many believe to be a dirty act by trying to perform an eye gouge on UGA freshman RB Washaun Ealey. He will be replaced by senior Ryan Stamper. | | 11/06 | 10:22am | Brandon Hicks | LB | Out | Hamstring | Junior LB Brandon Hicks is ruled out for Vanderbilt with a hamstring injury. Hicks, the Gators' starting SLB in 2009, was among the team leaders in passes broken up in 2008. He will be replaced by junior A.J. Jones. | | 11/06 | 9:38am | Mike Gillislee | RB | Probable | Hamstring | True freshman RB Mike Gillislee is battling a hamstring injury but has returned to practice and is upgraded to probable for Vanderbilt. Gillislee is a reserve RB for the Gators whose presence is important in the kick return game. | | 11/05 | 9:25am | Dorian Munroe | S | Probable | Knee | Senior safety Dorian Munroe tore his meniscus in practice and underwent surgery in late August. He played sparingly against Georgia (first game action this season) and is probable for Vanderbilt. 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. | | 11/05 | 9:22am | Chris Rainey | RB | Probable | Shoulder | Sophomore RB Chris Rainey injured his shoulder against Georgia and did not return. He is upgraded to probable for Vanderbilt. Rainey is a speedy reserve RB for the Gators. | | 11/05 | 9:21am | Deonte Thompson | WR | Probable | Rib | Sophomore WR Deonte Thompson sustained a rib injury during the Georgia game and is upgraded to probable for Vanderbilt. Thompson is a starting WR for the Gators who has a couple of TD catches this season. | | 11/01 | 11:03am | 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, played sparingly against Georgia and is probable for Vanderbilt. The young defensive lineman began the season as a starting NT for the Gators in 2009. | | 11/01 | 11:02am | 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, played sparingly against Georgia, and is probable for Vanderbilt. Marsh is the No. 1 NT on the depth chart this season. | | 11/01 | 11:02am | Brandon Antwine | DT | Out | Shoulder | Junior NT Brandon Antwine played sparingly against Arkansas and Miss State and missed the Georgia game. He is out indefinitely. Antwine is battling a slow-healing shoulder injury he sustained earlier in the season. | | 11/01 | 11:01am | Wondy Pierre-Louis | CB | Questionable | Hamstring | Senior CB Wondy Pierre-Louis sustained a hamstring injury during the Miss State game and missed the Georgia game. He is questionable for Vanderbilt. Pierre-Louis is a reserve CB who primarily backs up sophomore standout Janoris Jenkins. | | 11/01 | 10:59am | Justin Trattou | DT | Probable | Arm | Junior DT Justin Trattou played sparingly against Georgia and is probable for Vanderbilt. Trattou is recovering from a biceps tendon injury that allows him to play as long as he can manage pain. | | 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. | | 10/25 | 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. | | 10/08 | 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 Wake Forest on 11/14
|
| 11/06 | 11:05am | Xavier Rhodes | CB | Questionable | Thumb | True freshman CB Xavier Rhodes missed the UNC and NC State games with a thumb injury and is questionable for Clemson. Rhodes is a reserve DB for the Seminoles. With the injury to Dionte Allen, Rhodes' injury leaves the CB rotation thin. | | 11/06 | 11:04am | Budd Thacker | DT | Probable | Knee | Senior DT Budd Thacker missed two games (@UNC and NC State) with a Grade 3 sprain of his left MCL. He is upgraded to probable for Clemson. Due to the injuries suffered by FSU defensive tackles this season, Thacker, a career reserve, made multiple starts prior to his injury. | | 11/06 | 10:59am | Richard Goodman | WR | Probable | Groin | Senior WR Richard Goodman missed the UNC and NC State games with a groin injury and is upgraded to probable for Clemson. Goodman had been a reserve WR for the Seminoles for much of his career prior to earning more playing time in 2009. | | 11/06 | 10:59am | Garrett Faircloth | T | Out | Hip | True freshman LT Garrett Faircloth did not play against NC State due to a hip injury and is out indefinitely. Faircloth is a reserve OT for the Seminoles. | | 11/06 | 10:58am | Dionte Allen | CB | Out | Thumb | Sophomore CB Dionte Allen missed the UNC and NC State games with a thumb injury and is ruled out for Clemson. With the injuries to Allen and freshman reserve Xavier Rhodes, the CB rotation for FSU is wearing thin. | | 11/02 | 9:38am | Christian Ponder | QB | Probable | Rib | Junior QB Christian Ponder is probable for the Clemson game despite injuring his rib during the NC State game. Ponder has emerged as the leader for the Seminoles and is considered one of the top QBs in the country due to his improving accuracy and ability to make plays with his feet. | | 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. | | 10/20 | 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: Kentucky at Vanderbilt on 11/14
|
| 11/06 | 11:40am | Trevard Lindley | CB | Probable | Ankle | Senior CB Trevard Lindley has returned to light practice after missing four straight games with an ankle injury. He is upgraded to probable for Eastern Kentucky. 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 Eastern Kentucky, look for Randall Burden to fill in for Lindley. | | 11/05 | 10:14am | 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 practicing for the first time in four weeks, but it is not believed that he will play against EKU. True freshman Morgan Newton (if healthy) is the likely replacement for Hartline. | | 11/05 | 10:12am | Christian Johnson | G | Probable | Flu | Senior LG Christian Johnson returned to practice recently (Nov 4) after missing a couple of practice sessions due to the flu. He is upgraded to probable for the Eastern Kentucky game. Johnson is the No. 1 LG on the depth chart, and it is not known who would start for him if he is unable to start (or play). | | 11/05 | 10:11am | Micah Johnson | LB | Probable | Flu | Senior LB Micah Johnson is battling the flu, but he has returned to practice and is upgraded to probable for EKU. Johnson's brother, Christian, had the illness first and is recuperating from it. Johnson, who is also playing with a sprained MCL in his knee, was a first team All-SEC player last season and led the team in tackles for loss in 2008. | | 11/05 | 10:11am | Ridge Wilson | LB | Probable | Flu | True freshman LB Ridge Wilson is battling the flu, but he has returned to practice and is upgraded to probable for the EKU game. Wilson is a reserve LB for the Wildcats. | | 11/05 | 10:10am | Alfonso Smith | RB | Probable | Flu | Senior RB Alfonso Smith is battling the flu, but he returned to practice Wednesday (Nov 4) and is upgraded to probable for EKU. Smith is most likely to play out of the currently ill players due to the declining condition of leading rusher Derrick Locke's knees. | | 11/04 | 9:23am | Qua Huzzie | LB | Out For Year | Shoulder | True freshman LB Qua Huzzie will redshirt after having surgery on his injured shoulder. Huzzie has not played in a game this season despite being projected as the No. 2 SLB coming out of spring workouts. | | 11/03 | 10:10am | Morgan Newton | QB | Questionable | Shoulder | True freshman QB Morgan Newton is questionable for the EKU game after injuring his shoulder against Miss State. Newton is filling in for injured starter Mike Hartline, who has not played in nearly a month. Newton is the prized future QB for the Wildcats (four-star dual threat recruit). | | 11/03 | 10:02am | John Conner | FB | Questionable | Shin | Senior FB John Conner is questionable for the EKU game with a shin contusion. The No. 1 FB on the depth chart is considered one of the best, if not the best, FBs in the SEC. His absence would put a major damper in the rushing attack for the Wildcats. | | 11/03 | 9:50am | DeQuin Evans | DE | Questionable | Ankle | Junior DE DeQuin Evans is questionable for the EKU game with an ankle injury that limits his availability in practice. Evans is a starting DE for the Wildcats in his first season on the D1 level (JUCO transfer). | | 11/03 | 9:46am | Jorge Gonzalez | C | Questionable | Back spasm | Senior C Jorge Gonzalez is suffering from back spasms that limit his ability to practice. He is questionable for the Eastern Kentucky game. If Gonzalez (No. 1 C) cannot play against EKU, redshirt freshman Matt Smith will have to step in. | | 11/02 | 10:02am | Derrick Locke | RB | Doubtful | Knee | Junior RB Derrick Locke is doubtful for the Eastern Kentucky game due to the presence of scar tissue in his surgically-repaired left knee. This is the same knee that he severely injured last season. Locke is the top rusher for the Wildcats and is 5th in the SEC in that category. The junior RB will likely be replaced by senior Alfonso Smith, who has struggled with nagging injuries in his final season in Lexington. | | 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). | | 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: Syracuse at Louisville on 11/14
|
| 11/07 | 6:11am | 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 did not play at all in week nine and is questionable to return on Nov. 7 against West Virginia. His status will be a game-time decision. Last year's BIG EAST Newcomer of the Year, Anderson
is the Cardinals leading rusher. Bilal Powell and Darius Ashley filled in well for Anderson last weekend with Ashley having a career day. | | 11/07 | 6:05am | Will Stein | QB | Starter | Named Starter | Redshirt freshman QB Stein has been named Louisville's starting QB on Nov. 7 against West Virginia. He beat out opening day starter Justin Burke and incumbent starter Adam Froman for the job this week in practice. Stein started last weekend and played well with both Burke and Froman out due to injury. It is expected that the frosh will be on a short leash with both of the aformentioned backups healthy and ready to play if needed. | | 11/02 | 8:45am | Justin Burke | QB | Probable | Shoulder | Burke hurt his shoulder on the first series in Louisville's week eight game and was unable to play after that, including in week nine. He is expected to be ready to play on Nov. 7 against West Virginia, but will not immediately reclaim his starting role. Adam Froman, who is also healthy after sitting out last weekend with an elbow injury, as well as redshirt freshman Will Stein, will battle for the starting QB spot in practice this week. | | 11/02 | 8:44am | Adam Froman | QB | Probable | Elbow | Froman did not play on Oct. 31 against Arkansas State due to a lingering elbow injury that forced him out in week eight for the fourth quarter. HC Steve Kragthorpe anticipates Froman to be healthy this weekend, so consider him probable to be available on Nov. 7 against West Virginia. It is not known who will start for the Cardinals at QB, though Kragthorpe noted all three (Froman, Burke, and Stein) are expected to be available and will battle it out in practice this week. | | 11/01 | 8:08am | Doug Beaumont | RB | Questionable | Knee | Beaumont suffered a knee injury in Louisville's week nine game and is questionable to play on Nov. 7 against West Virginia. Beaumont is in the mix at halfback but mostly serves as a pass catching fullback and blocker. | | 11/01 | 8:02am | Preston Pace | CB | Questionable | Shoulder | Pace had to leave Louisville's week eight game due to a shoulder injury and he could not return in week nine. Pace is questionable to play on Nov. 7 against West Virginia. Bobby Burns saw more reps in place of Pace the past few weekends. | | 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. |
|
Next game: UAB at Memphis on 11/14
|
| 11/07 | 6:13am | Greg Jackson | LB | Probable | Leg/Shoulder | Jackson has been upgraded to probable to play on Nov. 7 against Tennessee due to a variety of injuries that have kept him out of practice and games since Oct. 17. He was questionable for most of the week after being a late holdout last weekend. Jackson, a senior, is a four-year starter who ranks first on the team
in tackles (50), solo tackles (30), fumble recoveries (2) and forced
fumbles (3). | | 11/03 | 8:56am | DA Griffin | DB | Doubtful | Ankle | Reserve CB Griffin is doubtful to play on Nov. 7 against Tennessee after he sprained his ankle last weekend against East Carolina. Griffin doesn't appear on the secondary two-deep, however he does see action as a kick returner. | | 11/03 | 8:55am | Jada Brown | DE | Out | Neck | Brown will not be able to play on Nov. 7 against Tennessee due to a neck injury suffered against East Carolina in week nine. Starting opposite Greg Terrell, opponents frequently ran at Brown to avoid the All-C-USA stud across the line so he saw plenty of action. It is expected that fellow senior Josh Weaver will get the start with Brown out. | | 11/01 | 9:58am | Curtis Steele | RB | Probable | Leg | Star RB Steele suffered a minor leg injury in week eight but is probable to play on Nov. 7 against Tennessee. Steele has rushed for just under 600 yards and five TDs in six games played this season. TJ Pitts and Lance Smith are his two primary backups. | | 11/01 | 9:55am | Cam Baker | WR | Questionable | Hip | Baker underwent an MRI on his injured hip during Memphis' week nine bye and is questionable to play on Nov. 7 against Tennessee. Baker's statistics are down this season as Memphis searches for consistency in the passing game. Losing the starting WR would only hurt those efforts. | | 11/01 | 9:50am | Justin Thompson | DE | Out For Year | Knee | Reserve DE Thompson will not play again this season after suffering a knee injury in week eight that will require surgery. Thompson was starting to see a bigger role in the Tigers' defense before his injury. | | 10/19 | 12:10pm | Tyler Bass | QB | Out For Year | Shoulder | Memphis starting QB Bass suffered a non-throwing shoulder injury in week five's loss to Central Florida and did not play the following two weeks. He will not return to the field this season, instead opting for season ending surgery. Will Hudgens is starting at QB in place of Bass and Arkelon Hall is a candidate to see some snaps as well. | | 09/16 | 10:53am | Akeem Davis | FS | Out For Year | Knee | Davis 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. | | 08/12 | 7:25pm | Brandon Ross | RB | Out For Year | Personal | Sophomore 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. | | 08/12 | 7:21pm | Demetrius Culpepper | DE | Out For Year | Personal | Projected 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. |

| 11/07 | 12:20am | Javarris James | RB | Probable | Ankle | Senior RB Javarris James missed the Wake Forest game with an ankle injury and is upgraded to probable for Virginia. 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 if he cannot go against Virginia. | | 11/05 | 9:47am | JoJo Nicolas | S | Doubtful | Upper extremity | Junior SS JoJo Nicolas missed the Clemson and Wake Forest games with an upper extremity injury and is doubtful for Virginia. The No. 2 SS has missed a few games this season already due to illness/injury. | | 11/05 | 9:46am | Eric Moncur | DE | Doubtful | Lower extremity | Senior DE Eric Moncur is battling a lower extremity injury that kept him out of the Wake Forest game. He is doubtful for Virginia. Moncur has missed two games earlier this season with a groin injury. | | 11/05 | 9:46am | Aravious Armstrong | S | Out | Knee | True freshman FS Aravious "Ray Ray" Armstrong missed the Wake Forest game with a knee injury and is ruled out for Virginia. Armstrong had worked his way into a starting position before sustaining the injury against Clemson. Senior Randy Phillips could start at FS against the Cavaliers if Armstrong plays. | | 11/05 | 9:45am | Sean Spence | LB | Out | Ankle | Sophomore LB Sean Spence missed the Wake Forest game with a left ankle injury he sustained during the Clemson game and is likely ruled out for Virginia. 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. | | 11/01 | 9:54am | Patrick Hill | FB | Out | Lower extremity | Senior FB Patrick Hill missed five 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. | | 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. | | 10/16 | 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. |
