11/041:37pmBlake SzymanskiQB Probable ShoulderSzymanski 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.
09/288:22amRobert 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.

The offensive line has three new starters but has only allowed 11 QB sacks this season. The running game appears to be on the rise and but the loss of West and his senior leadership could have an adverse affect.

11/076:09amTony PikeQB Questionable WristBearcats' 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.
11/047:19amSam GriffinOL Probable IllnessAn 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.
11/0212:03pmBen GuidugliTE Probable ConcussionSenior 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.
10/069:52amRobby ArmstrongLB Out For Year KneeStarting 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.

08/111:57amVidal HazeltonWR Out For Year EligibilityProjected starter and USC transfer Vidal Hazelton will not play in 2009 after the NCAA denied his request to become immediately eligible. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound receiver caught 50 passes for 540 yards with the Trojans in 2007. Bothered by a high ankle sprain last season, he had only six receptions.

11/0212:59pmAnthony WrightWR Doubtful KneeWright is doubtful to play on Nov. 7 against Texas A&M as he plans to undergo an MRI on his injured knee.  The wideout is not a key contributor, having made only one catch for 47 yards this season.
11/0212:55pmNick KasaDL Out For Year IllnessKasa will not play again this season due to mono.  The freshman missed the first three games of the year with a knee sprain, and by shutting it down now can apply for a medical redshirt. 
10/1112:36pmMax Tuioti-MarinerOL Out KneeTuioti-Mariner has resumed activities on the the practice field after tearing his ACL back in March.  His status to play anytime soon however, is unlikely.  The junior OL is at least 2-3 weeks away from a potential return to the gridiron.  Tuioti-Mariner has made one career start back in 2008 and is likely now nothing more than depth when he is able to return.
10/066:25pmLagrone ShieldsDE Out For Year Left TeamShields is no longer a member of the Colorado football team.  The little used reserve DE had played just 37 snaps in three games this season and did not see the field at all in week five following the return of freshman Nick Kasa from injury.

The junior has nine receptions on the season but leads the team in punt return yards.
11/014:24pmJeff BrinsonRB Out For Year FootBrinson finally had surgery to repair a foot injury that has hobbled him all season and will miss the remainder of the year.

08/145:27pmSidell CorleyDE Out For Year TransferCorley was released from LSU's football program and will now look into an immediate transfer to Alabama or Auburn to be closer to family. Corley's father said his son plans to apply for a hardship waiver from the NCAA to allow him to play this year. Corley was listed as a No.2 DE on the preseason depth chart  Outside of 2008 1st TM SEC stud Rahim Alem the Tigers do not have any DE's with starting experience on the roster.
08/095:21pmShomari ClemonsLB Out For Year Left TeamSophomore LB Clemons left the football program this past spring saying he felt the stigma of a 2008 arrest forever clouded his reputation at the school. He was arrested on misdemeanor charges of shoving a police officer and disturbing the peace. "I needed to go somewhere and get a fresh start, just get away from there," he said. Clemons was No. 2 at MLB behind senior Jacob Cutrera. That job will now most likely be filled by true freshman Kevin Minter or redshirt freshman Kyle Prater.

11/017:42amBrandon CampbellLT Doubtful AnkleCampbell is doubtful to play on Nov. 1 against Central Florida due to an ankle injury that forced him out of Marshall's last game in week eight.  The starting left tackle was replaced by CJ Wood, who is a better run blocker than pass blocker, which is where Campbell excels.
10/288:47amRyan TillmanLG Questionable AnkleStarting LG Tillman is questionable to play on Nov. 1 against UCF after suffering an ankle injury last weekend in week eight.  Landis Provancha replaced Tillman last week and would be in line to start if needed.
10/267:27amCourtney EdmonsonWR Out LegEdmonson remains out indefinitely with a leg injury after failing to play for the seventh consecutive week since injuring his left leg during Marshall's first game against Southern Illinois.  Originally a starter at wide receiver, The Herd have turned to Antavious Wilson, Chuck Walker, and Wayne Bonner to fill the void and all three are playing well.
10/267:27amDelvin JohnsonDL Questionable AnkleStarting DL Johnson injured his left ankle in week three and has been out for the past five games.  Consider him questionable to play on Nov. 1 against UCF.  Johnson has started the first three games for The Herd this year.  He is backed up by junior Brandon Bullock.
09/248:12amTroy EvansWR Out For Year FootJunior WR Evans will not play again this season after breaking his foot in week three.  Evans, who provides depth in the Marshall receiving corps when healthy and also sees time as a kick returner, will take a redshirt and keep two years of eligibility.  Highly regarded freshman Michael Rhynes seems like the most logical candidate to replace Evans, however Marshall may want Rhynes to keep his redshirt and look elsewhere for help.
09/248:09amJohn SaundersFS Out For Year NeckSaunders was carted off the field on a backboard in week three.  While he did have movement in his extremities and was able to give a thumbs up to the crowd, he is not likely to be able to return to the football field this season.  Saunders had made 14 tackles on the season.  Omar Brown is his most likely replacement in the starting lineup.
08/127:16pmJosh EvansOL Out For Year TransferJunior OL Josh Evans decided to transfer from Marshall citing personal issues as the main reason for leaving. Senior Landis Provancha is listed No. 2 on the depth chart although the Oregon transfer has no game action as a part of the Thundering Herd.

11/038:56amDA GriffinDB Doubtful AnkleReserve 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.
11/038:55amJada BrownDE Out NeckBrown 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.
11/019:58amCurtis SteeleRB Probable LegStar 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. 
11/019:55amCam BakerWR Questionable HipBaker 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.
11/019:50amJustin ThompsonDE Out For Year KneeReserve 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.

09/1610:53amAkeem DavisFS Out For Year KneeDavis injured his right knee in week two and Memphis HC Tommy West's worst fear, a torn ACL, has come true.  Davis is out for the season.  Junior Darrius Davis steps into the starting lineup to replace Akeem Davis. 
08/127:25pmBrandon RossRB Out For Year PersonalSophomore RB Brandon Ross is no longer with the football team due to personal reasons. Ross was a key member of the Tiger backfield during the second half of 2008. He filled in admirably for backup tailback Charlie Jones and also for starter Curtis Steele when he suffered a hamstring injury. In 2009 spring scrimmages, Ross's carries were limited as Steele and Wisconsin transfer Lance Smith received the brunt of the workload.
08/127:21pmDemetrius CulpepperDE Out For Year PersonalProjected starting DE Demetrius Culpepper is no longer with the team because of personal reasons. HC West declined to elaborate.

11/059:46amAravious ArmstrongS Out KneeTrue 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.
11/059:45amSean SpenceLB Out AnkleSophomore 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.
11/019:54amPatrick HillFB Out Lower extremitySenior 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.

10/1612:28pmMarcus ForstonDT Out For Year Lower extremitySophomore 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. 
10/1311:27amRyan HillCB Out For Year Upper extremitySenior 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).
10/1311:25amDyron DyeDE Out For Year Lower extremityTrue 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.

He is questionable for week ten at Temple. HC Haywood said he didn't know when Harris would be able to come back. The junior ranked second on the team in receiving before the injury.
11/015:51pmAndre BrattonRB Questionable ToeBratton was sidelined in the first quarter at Northwestern with turf toe. HC Haywood said Bratton should have been back vs. Ohio but he did not make the road trip nor play in the past two games.
