Next game: Rutgers at Army on 10/23
|
| 10/17 | 7:37am | CeDarius Williams | FB | Questionable | Ankle | Williams has not played in nearly a month due to an ankle injury and is questionable to return on Oct. 17 at Temple. The starting FB was replaced by slot back Pat Mealy in formations with a fullback. Mealy has become the Black Knights' leading rusher this season. | | 10/13 | 3:25pm | George Fletcher | RB | Questionable | Undisclosed | Reserve RB Fletcher left week six's dramatic win against Tulane a little banged up and is questionable to play on Oct. 17 against Temple. Fletcher provides depth at halfback behind Ian Smith when healthy and has carried six times for 16 yards on the year. |
|
Next game: Oklahoma State at Baylor on 10/24
|
| 10/11 | 10:48am | Blake Szymanski | QB | Probable | Shoulder | Szymanski, who is Baylor's #1 QB with sophomore Robert Griffin out for the season, suffered a bruised shoulder in week four's win over Northwestern State and was a late scratch on Oct. 3 against Kent State. He did not start in week six against Oklahoma, but did enter the game off the bench and is expected to start on Oct. 17 against Iowa State. Nick Florence got the start last weekend and is now the #2 on the new Baylor depth chart. | | 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. | | 09/21 | 7:49am | Antareis Bryan | CB | Out | Foot | Starting CB Bryan, the most experienced member of the Bears secondary, is out 6-8 weeks after breaking a bone in his foot during week three's match-up with UConn. Bryan will replaced by the tandem of Clifton Odom and Mikail Baker. |
|
Next game: Central Michigan at Bowling Green on 10/24
|
| 10/13 | 10:13am | Colin Miller | OL | Doubtful | Leg | Miller suffered a leg injury in the first half of the Eastern Michigan game and is doubtful to play in week seven at Western Michigan. Darren Keyton will replace him in the starting lineup and, according to one source, W. Mich does not have any defensive linemen that Keyton cannot handle Saturday. | | 10/12 | 9:44am | Tim Phillips | RB | Questionable | Ankle | Phillips left the week three Alcorn State game in the first half with an ankle injury and has not played since. Central Michigan has rotated several running backs through their offense. Junior Carl Volny and sophomores Paris Cotton and Bryan Schroeder are sharing the load. Phillips is questionable for week seven at Western Michigan. | | 08/13 | 1:22am | Taylor Bradley | CB | Out For Year | Academics | Junior Taylor Bradley will not be with the 2009 football team because of academic ineligibility. One of two seniors, Tommy Mama or Kirkston Edwards, is the likely candidate to take over the CB spot for the projected starter. | | 08/13 | 1:17am | Josh Allison | DT | Out For Year | Unknown | Sophomore Josh Allison's career is apparently over due to an unspecified injury. The Chippewas return senior Frank Zombo, an All-MAC selection, junior Sean Murnane, senior Sam Williams and senior Larry Knight along the defensive line. Past that, HC Butch Jones said the key will be to develop depth and have younger players step up and contribute. "Our defensive line, we're probably going to (need) one or two freshman to be able to step up and give us some reps there," he said. |
|
Next game: Louisville at Cincinnati on 10/24
|
| 10/15 | 1:46pm | Dominique Battle | CB | Questionable | Undisclosed | Battle did not play for the second straight week due to an undisclosed reason and is questionable to return on Oct. 15 against South Florida. In his stead, junior Marcus Bennett, who is primarily a wide receiver, will remain on defense and take over at CB. Bennett earned his first career start last week in place of Battle. | | 10/13 | 7:36am | Curtis Young | LB | Probable | Knee | Young is expected to return to action on Oct. 17 against South Florida after missing two games over three weeks due to a knee injury. Cincinnati's defense suffered a huge blow when senior LB Young was hurt in practice leading up to week three's match-up with Oregon State and required surgery, so they should get a nice boost when he returns. The Linebacker/DE hybrid started the first two games of the year, recording 13 tackles and a sack. | | 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: TBA
|
| 10/17 | 8:14am | Chris Mattocks | LB | Probable | Shoulder | Mattocks has an injured shoulder but has been upgraded to probable for the Rice matchup. The senior ranks fourth on the team in total tackles. Sophomore Matt Thompson replaced him in the week six starting lineup. | | 10/14 | 1:30pm | Jonathan Williams | RB | Out | Knee | Reserve RB Williams is out indefinitely after an MRI revealed knee damage thanks to an injury suffered in week six against SMU. Williams was the fourth option in the running game and likely third stringer Giavanni Ruffin will pick up any slack. | | 10/13 | 3:42pm | Brandon Jackson | RB | Probable | Flu | Pirates' RB Jackson did not play in week six due to the flu, but is expected to be ready on Oct. 17 against Rice. The sophomore is typically the #2 option behind Dominique Lindsay but has seen a lot of action this season due to injuries. If Jackson needs to miss more time, expect Giavanni Ruffin to get more action at halfback. | | 10/12 | 9:19am | Jamar Bryant | WR | Probable | Concussion | Bryant did not play in week six against Marshall due to a concussion suffered late that week in practice. The starting wideout, who has caught 13 passes for over 100 yards and a TD this season is probable to return on Oct. 17 against SMU. | | 10/12 | 9:19am | Terence Campbell | OL | Questionable | Shoulder | Campbell is questionable to play against SMU on Oct. 17 due to a shoulder injury suffered in week six against Marshall. The injury is the latest in a string for Campbell, who has been in and out of the lineup all season. East Carolina has used several different players to fill the void in the past, and it is not immediately clear who would start in place of Campbell if he cannot play this weekend. | | 09/27 | 10:20am | Antonio Allison | DT | Out | Foot | Allison is out indefinitely after suffering a broken foot in week three against UNC. The sophomore was entrenched as a starter on the defensive line before the injury, which requires surgery. ECU has a number of options to replace Allison, including shifting to more 3-4 defense as opposed to 4-3. They do have decent depth on the defensive line however. | | 09/23 | 4:02pm | JR Rogers | RB | Out | Knee | Rogers is out indefinitely with a knee injury. The senior does not contribute as a running back, having not taken a carry this season, however he does see action as a kick and punt returner when healthy. | | 09/23 | 3:41pm | Michael Bowman | WR | Out | Arm | Bowman is out indefinitely with a broken right arm. The reserve WR provides depth when healthy. He's yet to record a catch this season, and the sophomore only managed two receptions for 20 yards in 2008. | | 08/16 | 11:43pm | Allen Crowder | DE | Out For Year | Suspension | RS freshman Allen Crowder has been handed a season-long suspension for an undisclosed violation. Crowder was listed as a No. 2 defensive end behind starting seniors Scotty Robinson and CJ Wilson. | | 08/16 | 11:40pm | DeAndre Jones | DB | Out For Year | Left Team | Junior DeAndre Jones has decided to transfer to another school. He has seen very limited action in the Pirates' secondary and was buried on the 2009 depth chart. | | 08/16 | 11:39pm | DJ McFadden | WR | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore receiver DJ McFadden has decided to transfer to another school. He failed to develop a regular role at wide receiver after being recruited as a quarterback. | | 08/16 | 11:37pm | Lorenzo Osborne | LB | Out For Year | Left Team | Junior Lorenzo Osborne has decided to transfer to another school after two active seasons when he accumulated 23 tackles. He was redshirted last year. | | 08/16 | 11:34pm | Julian Carter | S | Out For Year | Left Team | Sophomore safety Julian Carter has decided to transfer to another school to finish out his collegiate career. He was being groomed to take on a much greater role with the Pirates but opted to leave anyway. |
|
Next game: Fresno State at New Mexico State on 10/24
|
| 10/12 | 9:24am | Joe Bernardi | C | Questionable | Shoulder | Bernardi hurt the AC joint in his shoulder against Cincinnati in week four and is sat out the Hawaii game. He took snaps with the first team last week but did not enter the game. Senior Richard Pacheco started his first game since the 2008 opener. Bernardi is questionable for Idaho. |
|
Next game: TBA
|
| 10/17 | 9:08am | Josh Davis | T | Questionable | Shoulder | Junior LT Josh Davis has not played this season despite being available since Week 2. His status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable. Davis is recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered in January that required surgery. Head coach Mark Richt seems optimistic that he could see action soon. Davis' availability is important with starter Trinton Sturdivant being out for the season and No. 2 LT Vince Vance being slowed by injury. | | 10/17 | 9:07am | Quintin Banks | S | Questionable | Knee | Junior strong safety Quintin Banks has missed the entire season to date due to a knee injury suffered during the preseason fall camp. Banks' status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable, as he is still unable to change directions in a satisfactory manner (during practice). In Banks' absence, freshman Bacarri Rambo continues to see significant action. | | 10/17 | 9:05am | Chad Gloer | CB | Questionable | Hamstring | Junior Chad Gloer missed the LSU game with a hamstring injury and did not play against Tennessee. His status for the Vanderbilt game is questionable. Gloer is a reserve CB and one of Georgia's best special teams players. | | 10/17 | 9:05am | Kiante Tripp | DE | Questionable | Shoulder | Junior DE Kiante Tripp has missed four games this year with a slow-healing shoulder stinger. Tripp missed the Tennessee game and is questionable for the Vanderbilt game. The No. 2 LDE made three starts at OT in 2008. In his place, redshirt freshman Cornelius Washington (who has been impressive in practice) will see significant action. | | 10/16 | 2:13pm | Marcus Dowtin | LB | Out | Finger | Sophomore LB Marcus Dowtin tore ligaments in the ring finger on his left hand against LSU. The reserve LB (No. 2 WLB behind junior Rennie Curran) underwent surgery on the finger and missed the Tennessee game. Dowtin has been ruled out of the Vanderbilt game. | | 10/15 | 7:43am | Shaun Chapas | FB | Doubtful | Neck | Junior FB Shaun Chapas is doubtful for the Vanderbilt game due to nerve pain between his neck and shoulders. Head coach Mark Richt said that if Chapas cannot play against the Commodores, expect to see fellow juniors Fred Munzenmaier (No. 2 FB) and Justin Fields (No. 3 FB) fill in for him. | | 10/14 | 8:50pm | Bruce Figgins | TE | Out For Year | Redshirt | Junior TE Bruce Figgins decided to take a redshirt for the 2009 season after missing the first six weeks of the season due to suspension. The No. 2 TE on the depth chart is known more for his blocking abilities than playmaking abilities. Figgins started two games as a sophomore last year and recorded 32 receiving yards. | | 10/14 | 9:45am | Tavarres King | WR | Probable | Undisclosed | Redshirt freshman WR Tavarres King left the LSU game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. King missed the Tennessee game and is upgraded to probable for the Vanderbilt game. | | 10/14 | 9:44am | Vance Cuff | CB | Out | Suspension | Junior CB Vance Cuff will miss the Vanderbilt game to serve a one-game suspension for being arrested on a misdemeanor charge (driving witih a suspended license). He was supposed to return to game action this week after sitting out three games with a sprained MCL in his right knee. Cuff is a reserve CB who backs up senior Prince Miller. | | 10/14 | 9:40am | Caleb King | RB | Probable | Multiple | Sophomore RB Caleb King sustained a concussion and a fractured jaw during the LSU game and missed the Tennessee game. His status for the Vanderbilt game is upgraded to probable. King is the No. 2 RB on the depth chart behind fellow sophomore Richard Samuel. True freshman Washaun Ealey saw more playing time in King's absence. | | 10/14 | 9:38am | Akeem Dent | LB | Out | Hamstring | Junior MLB Akeem Dent missed the Arizona State, LSU, and Tennessee games with a hamstring pull and is likely out for the Vanderbilt game. Dent had filled in for previously injured starter Darius Dewberry at SLB (Dewberry has since returned to action). Dent is a major part of the Bulldogs' linebacker rotation, having made thirteen starts in his three seasons. | | 09/15 | 9:57am | Kris Durham | WR | Out For Year | Shoulder | Senior WR Kris Durham will redshirt this season after injuring his shoulder during spring practice. In 2008, Durham made four starts and caught 13 passes. | | 09/14 | 10:12am | Roderick Battle | DE | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Senior DE Roderick Battle will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a torn ACL. Battle, a starter for 22 games of his career, had three tackles this season. Says head coach Mark Richt: "It's just sad for Roderick first and foremost. But it's tough on us. It's why you recruit and train players. You try to get prepared for these moments. You don't want them, but you have to prepare for them." Battle will be replaced by sophomore Justin Houston, who is returning after his two-game suspension. | | 09/07 | 8:30am | Trinton Sturdivant | T | Out For Year | Knee | Mark Richt announced on Sept 6 that redshirt sophomore Trinton Sturdivant would miss the entire 2009 season with a torn ACL in his left knee. The starting LT tore three ligaments (including the ACL) in the same knee in 2008. Richt expects Sturdivant to recover fully in time for the 2010 season. It is believed that starting RT Clint Boling (seven starts at LT in 2008) could move over to LT to replace Sturdivant. | | 08/27 | 7:11am | Bryce Ros | TE | Out For Year | Toe | Redshirt freshman TE Bryce Ros suffered a career-ending toe injury during UGA's fall camp. He will seek a medical scholarship this season. | | 08/09 | 4:27pm | Tanner Strickland | OL | Out For Year | Shoulder | Strickland injured his shoulder in off-season workouts and will sit out the 2009 season. The backup lineman played in 13 games last year as a freshman. | | 08/09 | 4:24pm | John Knox | S | Out For Year | Transfer | Backup up safety Knox has decided to transfer to Georgia Military. He started two games his freshman season and had 8 total tackles. | | 08/09 | 4:22pm | Tony Wilson | WR | Out For Year | Ankle | Reserve wideout Wilson has been medically disqualified for the 2009 season due to an ankle injury. He started one game in 2008 before sitting the rest of the season out with injury. |
|
Next game: SMU at Houston on 10/24
|
| 10/15 | 8:09am | Kris Johnston | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Johnson suffered a knee injury during Houston's week six contest and could not return to the game. Unfortunately, the injury is severe and Johnston is not expected to play again this season. Freshman Phillip Seward is the #2 at strongside linebacker and will presumably be elevated into the starting role. | | 10/15 | 8:08am | Jacolby Ashworth | OL | Out For Year | Ankle | Ashworth, the Cougars' regular starter at LG, did not play in week six due to an undisclosed injury that was originally thought to be minor, however further tests indicated structural ankle damage, and Ashworth will not play again this season. Jaryd Anderson becomes the Cougars starter at left guard. | | 10/12 | 9:34am | David Hunter | DT | Questionable | Ankle | Starting DT Hunter suffered a twisted ankle during Houston's week six game and was unable to play in the second half. His availability to play on Oct. 17 against Tulane is questionable. Hunter was replaced by Ameen Behbahani who played extremely well, registering his first career sack. Expect to see more of Behbahani if Hunter continues to be hobbled. | | 10/12 | 9:32am | Jordan Shoemaker | OL | Probable | Leg | Shoemaker suffered an apparent leg injury in Houston's week six match-up and was knocked out of the lineup, replaced by Roy Watts. The Cougars expect Shoemaker to return and play on Oct. 17 against Tulane, so consider him probable. | | 09/27 | 11:39am | Matt Nicholson | LB | Out For Year | Knee | Nicholson tore his ACL in week four against Texas Tech and is out for the season. The senior linebacker was the leader of the Houston defense and among the team leaders in tackles both last year and this year. The Cougars have a lot of talented young players capable of replacing Nicholson on the field, but his leadership will be missed most. | | 08/11 | 7:28pm | Jacky Candy | FS | Out For Year | Knee | Starting FS Jacky Candy will miss the 2009 season because of a freak knee injury during a non-contact drill. Sophomore Roisean Haynes will get his chances at free safety. Sophomore Nick Saenz, who had been penciled in as the No. 1 strong safety, could wind up with the job. Both Saenz and Haynes played in all 13 games last year. | | 08/11 | 7:25pm | Jackie Hinton Jr. | FS | Out For Year | Disciplinary | Redshirt freshman Jackie Hinton Jr. is no longer with the team due to disciplinary reasons. He was listed as the No. 2 free safety and that job will fall into the hands of either sophomore Ricardo Banks or senior strong safety Tim Mercer. | | 08/11 | 6:31pm | Andre Kohn | RB | Out For Year | Knee | Kohn's career is in jeopardy after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee during spring practice. He has requested a hardship medical waiver. Sophomore Justin Johnson and redshirt freshman Chris Wilson are next in line to be Bryce Beall's backup. Another player to watch is incoming freshman Charles Sims whom the coaching staff is already singing praises for. |
|
Next game: Idaho at Nevada on 10/24
|
| 08/21 | 10:38pm | Virdell Larkins | S | Out For Year | Left Team | Senior safety Virdell Larkins has left the program, HC Robb Akey announced after Idaho's second scrimmage Wednesday. The third-year coach declined to give a reason for the departure of last year's leading tackler but did say it was an unfortunate situation. The Vandals have senior Jeromy Jones and junior Brandon Artz who might be able to fill in at the free safety spot. |
|
Next game: Louisiana Monroe at Kentucky on 10/24
|
| 10/16 | 2:17pm | Paul Warford | CB | Questionable | Quad | Junior CB Paul Warford was held out of practice on Sept 29 with a quadriceps strain and did not play in the Alabama and South Carolina games. He traveled with the team to Auburn after practicing on Wednesday (Oct 14), and his status has been upgraded to questionable. Warford is the No. 1 RCB on the depth chart. If he cannot play against Auburn, he will be replaced by sophomore Randall Burden. | | 10/14 | 10:25am | Trevard Lindley | CB | Out | Ankle | Senior CB Trevard Lindley did not play in the South Carolina game because of a left ankle injury. He is likely out for the Auburn game. 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 Auburn, true freshman Martavius Neloms will make his second career start. | | 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. | | 10/11 | 9:47am | Justin Jeffries | T | Questionable | Achilles | Senior RT Justin Jeffries is still bothered by an Achilles injury that threatened to keep him out of the Alabama, Florida, and South Carolina games. His status for Auburn is questionable. Jeffries is the No. 1 RT on the Wildcats roster. His back-up is junior Brad Durham. | | 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: Florida Atlantic at Louisiana Lafayette on 10/24
|
| 10/15 | 9:39am | Jordan Topp | DT | Out | Knee | Junior DT Jordan Topp is ruled out for the Western Kentucky game with a knee injury. Topp, a JUCO transfer, is a reserve DT for the Ragin' Cajuns this season. | | 10/15 | 9:36am | Richie Falgout | WR | Questionable | Ankle | Junior WR Richie Falgout re-aggravated his ankle during the North Texas game and is questionable for the Western Kentucky game. Falgout, a possession receiver for the Ragin' Cajuns, has missed most of the 2009 season due to injury. His absence would take away a passing/catching threat in ULL's offense. | | 10/15 | 9:32am | Richard Brooks | LB | Probable | Arm | Sophomore LB Richard Brooks has missed three straight games with a broken bone in his left arm. His status for the Western Kentucky game is probable. He has returned to practice (Oct 5) and was re-evaluated after the Oct 7 practice session (though he did not play Oct 10). The reserve LB's injury further wears down the depth at LB for the Ragin' Cajuns. Brooks made five starts as a redshirt freshman in 2008. | | 10/15 | 9:31am | Kyron Benoit | LB | Doubtful | Ankle | Sophomore LB Kyron Benoit injured his ankle during the first half of the Nebraska game and has not played since. He is doubtful for the Western Kentucky game. Benoit is a reserve LB for the Ragin' Cajuns (No. 3 MLB behind Antwyne Zanders and Richard Brooks). His absence, along with the injury to Brooks, leaves the ULL linebacker rotation thin for the UNT game. | | 10/15 | 9:30am | Colin Windsor | T | Probable | Knee | Junior RT Colin Windsor missed three games earlier this season (K-State, LSU, North Texas) due to a lingering knee injury. He is probable for the Western Kentucky game. Windsor is listed as the No. 2 RT on the depth chart. It is uncertain who will replace Windsor. | | 10/15 | 9:28am | Matt Desormeaux | FB | Probable | Knee | Junior FB Matt Desormeaux (No. 2 FB) missed the Nebraska and North Texas games with a knee injury. His status for the Western Kentucky game is upgraded to probable. Geoffrey McCullough and Jonathan Thomas are available options if Desormeaux can't participate against the Hilltoppers. | | 10/11 | 12:44pm | Chris Richard | S | Questionable | Ankle | Sophomore SS Chris Richard missed four games with an ankle injury and is questionable for the Western Kentucky game. Richard has returned to practice (Oct 5) and will be re-evaluated for the North Texas game after the Oct 7 practice. Richard amassed eight tackles as a true freshman in an injury-shortened season. His injury, along with the injury to fellow starting safety Gerren Blount, leaves the Ragin' Cajuns thin at the safety position. | | 08/25 | 12:38am | Evan Ruiz | OL | Out | Back | Reserve offensive lineman Evan Ruiz has a back injury and is out indefinitely after not being cleared medically. | | 08/25 | 12:37am | Justin Anderson | DE | Out | Shoulder | Reserve DE Justin Anderson has a shoulder injury and is out indefinitely after not being cleared medically. | | 08/25 | 12:36am | Nate Douglas | DE | Out For Year | Head | Backup DE Nate Douglas is out for the season with a head injury. He was one of the top up-and-coming defensive linemen in the SBC. He did not start any games in 2008 but still led the team's defensive linemen in tackles (26) and tackles for loss (6). |
|
Next game: Louisiana Monroe at Kentucky on 10/24
|
| 09/29 | 8:57am | Zach Rhodes | QB | Out For Year | Left team | Junior QB Zach Rhodes quit the team during fall preseason camp. The projected No. 2 QB was a transfer from SMU. Redshirt freshman Cody Wells is now the No. 2 QB on the Warhawks' depth chart. | | 09/16 | 8:31am | Trey Revell | QB | Starter | Starter | Junior QB Trey Revell was named the starting QB for the season by head coach Charlie Weatherbie. Weatherbie does, however, intend on using starting WR Darrell McNeal at QB on some plays, referring to the senior as "ULM's version of [former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kordell Stewart] Slash". |
|
Next game: Clemson at Miami (FL) on 10/24
|
| 10/16 | 11:58pm | Joel Figueroa | G | Out | Lower extremity | Junior RG Joel Figueroa is ruled out for the UCF game with a lower extremity injury. Miami's offensive line is thin as it is, so Figueroa's injury is of the utmost concern for the Hurricanes. | | 10/16 | 12:38pm | Josh Holmes | DT | Out | Lower extremity | Junior DT Josh Holmes is likely to miss the UCF game due to a lower extremity injury. Holmes was supposed to fill in for injured Hurricanes star Marcus Forston, who is out for the season. It is likely that Holmes will be replaced in the UCF game by a true freshman. | | 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. | | 10/16 | 12:23pm | JoJo Nicolas | S | Out | Upper extremity | Junior SS JoJo Nicolas missed the Oklahoma game with an upper extremity injury. He returned to practice (Oct 6) but did not play against FAMU. He is likely to miss the UCF game. The No. 2 SS was expected to fill in for the then-injured No. 1 FS Randy Phillips against Oklahoma before sustaining an injury of his own. | | 10/16 | 12:21pm | Aldarius Johnson | WR | Out | Arm | Sophomore WR Aldarius Johnson injured his arm against FAMU (1st quarter) and did not return. He is expected to miss the UCF game. Johnson is the Hurricanes' top receiver, having led the team in receiving yards in 2008 and working to become the No. 1 WR in 2009. | | 10/16 | 12:20pm | Patrick Hill | FB | Out | Lower extremity | Senior FB Patrick Hill missed the Oklahoma game with a lower extremity injury and did not play against FAMU. He is likely to miss the UCF game. Hill, the No. 1 FB on the depth chart, is one of the top blockers on the team. True freshman Mike James filled in for Hill against Oklahoma and FAMU and did an excellent job, so he is the likely starter against UCF. | | 10/15 | 7:58am | Graig Cooper | RB | Probable | Lower extremity | Junior RB Graig Cooper missed the FAMU game with a lower extremity injury. His status for the UCF game is probable after being able to participate in full-contact practice this week. Cooper was supposed to be the No. 1 rushing option for the Hurricanes this season, but it appears that senior Javarris James has assumed that role. | | 10/14 | 7:18pm | Eric Moncur | DE | Out | Lower extremity | Senior DE Eric Moncur will not play against UCF due to a lower extremity injury. Moncur struggled earlier this season with a groin injury and missed the FSU game because of it. | | 10/14 | 5:13pm | Randy Phillips | S | Out | Arm | Senior FS Randy Phillips injured his forearm against Virginia Tech and missed the Oklahoma game. He returned to practice (Oct 6) but did not play against FAMU. His status for the UCF game is downgraded to expected to miss game. Phillips is the No. 1 FS on the depth chart in 2009 after missing most of last season due to injury. In his absence, Vaughn Telemaque (No. 1 SS) and Chavez Grant (No. 2 LCB) will have to step up. | | 10/13 | 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. | | 10/11 | 11:59am | Steven Wesley | DE | Questionable | Lower extremity | Junior DE Steven Wesley is recovering from a lower extremity injury that kept him out of the FAMU game. His status for UCF is unknown. Wesley is the primary back-up to sophomore Andrew Smith. His absence hurts depth at the DE position. | | 10/11 | 11:52am | Olivier Vernon | DE | Questionable | Lower extremity | True freshman DE Olivier Vernon did not play against FAMU due to a lower extremity injury. His status for the UCF game is unknown. | | 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. | | 10/04 | 1:50pm | Levi Paalua | LB | Questionable | Upper extremity | Redshirt freshman LB Levi Paalua missed the first four games of the season, and his status for the FAMU game is questionable. Paalua, the No. 3 MLB on the depth chart, participated on the scout team in 2008 as a walk-on. | | 10/04 | 1:49pm | Ben Jones | OL | Probable | Illness | Redshirt freshman OL Ben Jones has not played since becoming ill the week of the Georgia Tech game. He is available for the FAMU game. The reserve OL participated on the scout team in 2008. | | 08/25 | 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. |

| 10/17 | 8:53am | Justin Smith | DT | Probable | Foot | Sophomore DT Justin Smith should see his first action of the season against UAB after practicing the week leading up to the game. Smith is recovering from sustaining a broken bone in his foot in early September. Prior to his injury, Smith had been working with the third-string defense. "He just got in an awkward position and broke that fifth metatarsal so that's tough," Nutt said. | | 10/17 | 8:51am | Rishaw Johnson | G | Out | Suspension | Sophomore RG Rishaw Johnson will miss the UAB game to serve a suspension for violation of team rules. Johnson's absence leaves the Rebels thin on the offensive line, as they only have three reserve linemen who are ready to fill in (freshmen Bobbie Massie and AJ Hawkins and senior Brandon Green). | | 10/15 | 7:26am | Enrique Davis | RB | Out | Ankle | Sophomore RB Enrique Davis will miss at least two weeks after spraining his ankle against Alabama. Davis is the No. 3 RB on the depth chart. True freshman Rodney Scott will fill in for Davis. | | 10/13 | 11:20am | Marshay Green | CB | Out | Rib | Senior CB Marshay Green is likely to miss the UAB game with a cracked rib and kidney problem. Green is a starting CB for the Rebels and the team's top kick returner. Green led the Rebels in 2008 in passes broken up with six. | | 10/11 | 8:46am | Andy Hartmann | FB | Probable | Knee | Senior FB Andy Hartmann injured his knee during the SE LA game and missed two weeks (South Carolina and Vanderbilt). He played sparingly against Alabama and is probable for the UAB game. Hartmann is the No. 1 FB on the depth chart for the Rebels. Replacing him will be a host of players, including Dan Hoffman, Derrick Davis, and offensive lineman Mark Jean-Louis. | | 10/11 | 8:46am | DT Shackelford | LB | Probable | Ankle | True freshman LB DT Shackelford injured his ankle during the South Carolina game and missed the Vanderbilt game. He played sparingly against Alabama and is probable for the UAB game. Shackelford had made an impression as a true freshman on head coach Houston Nutt with his play through the first two games of the season (Memphis, SE LA). | | 10/07 | 10:53pm | Craig Drummond | DE | Out For Year | Left team | True freshman DE Craig Drummond left school due to academic issues according to head coach Houston Nutt. Drummond, who reported to Ole Miss early in lieu of the second semester of his senior year, was a highly regarded recruit who provided depth at the DE and DT positions. | | 09/29 | 10:03am | Tim Simon | RB | Out For Year | Torn ACL | True freshman RB Tim Simon is out for the season with a torn ACL. The reserve RB could qualify for a medical redshirt. | | 09/09 | 9:56am | Jason Jones | DE | Out For Year | Torn ACL | Redshirt freshman DE Jason Jones is out for the season after tearing his ACL against Jackson State on Sept 5. According to head coach Houston Nutt, the third-string DE was an important member of the special teams unit. | | 08/26 | 7:22am | Alex Williams | DE | Out For Year | Leg | Freshman DE Alex Williams is out for the season with a broken leg. He was a likely redshirt candidate this season. | | 08/09 | 5:09pm | Montez Phillips | WR | Out For Year | Will Not Play | True freshman Montez Phillips will play baseball at Northwest CC instead of Ole Miss. His departure paves the way for fellow true frosh Pat Patterson to start alongside senior studs Dexter McCluster and Shay Hodge. |

| 10/13 | 7:38am | Blaine Gabbert | QB | Probable | Ankle | Gabbert suffered a sprained right ankle injury in Mizzou's week six match-up but did not come out of the game and should be fine going forward. Consider him probable to play on Oct. 17 against Oklahoma State. Walk-on Jimmy Castillo is listed as the #2 behind Gabbert. Castillo has seen action in two games this year, completing 6-of-11 passes. | | 10/12 | 10:51am | Carl Gettis | DB/KR | Probable | Leg | Reserve DB Gettis suffered an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Mizzou's week six game but was able to return to the field and is probable to be ready to play on Oct. 17 against Oklahoma State. Gettis sees action in nickel and dime packages defensively but is most valuable as a punt returner. | | 10/11 | |
