Nick Florence got the start last weekend and is now the #2 on the new Baylor depth chart.
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.

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.

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.

10/169:48amRoderick RollinsCB Probable HamstringSenior CB Roderick Rollins could not go full-speed for the FSU game with a hamstring injury and missed the Virginia Tech game.  He is upgraded to probable for NC State.  Rollins injured his hamstring during the fourth quarter of the Wake Forest game.  The No. 1 LCB on the depth chart will be replaced by sophomore Isaac Johnson, who made a game-saving hit on WF's Riley Skinner during OT to preserve a win for the Eagles.
10/169:47amJames McCluskeyFB Questionable AchillesJunior FB James McCluskey has battled an Achilles injury (and subsequent infection) for most of fall preseason camp and has missed the first five games of the season.  He played sparingly against Virginia Tech and has been downgraded to questionable for the NC State game.  In 2008, McCluskey rushed for 84 yards on 23 carries and one touchdown and also caught 19 passes for 123 yards. 
10/169:45amWill ThompsonLB Doubtful ShoulderSophomore LB Will Thompson missed the entire season to date and is doubtful for the NC State game.  Thompson began the season listed as the No. 1 WLB on the depth chart.  In Thompson's absence, true freshman Luke Kuechly has excelled.

10/099:05amIfeanyi 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 ACC Defensive Player of the year is two months into an aggressive chemotherapy plan and will not play in 2009. The cancer gives him a five-percent higher chance of breaking his leg. "If it breaks, the cancer spreads," he said.
08/105:23pmDominique DavisQB Out For Year AcademicsProjected starting quarterback Dominique Davis was declared academically ineligible and will transfer out of the BC program. The QB position in BC is a bit chaotic. There are six QB's on the roster, NONE of which have taken an in-game snap from under center in their careers. Billy Flutie has played college ball - at wide receiver, punter and holder - but he will only get a handful of chances for "change-of-pace" snaps. Codi Boek played in every game last year, including four starts - at FullBack. The other four candidates are either true freshmen or redshirt freshmen.

The Chippewas return senior Frank Zombo, an All-MAC selection, junior Sean Murnane, senior Sam Williams and senior Larry Knight along the defensive line.

10/137:36amCurtis YoungLB Probable KneeYoung 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.
10/069:52amRobby 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. Hazelton's addition could have given Cincinnati the deepest receiving corps in the Big East.

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.

10/133:51pmCody EndersQB Starter StarterEnders will remain the starting QB for Connecticut on Oct. 17 against Louisville despite opening week starter Zach Frazer being healthy and available for the first time since week two.  Enders played brilliantly in place of Frazer, completing over 63% of his passes and tossing three TDs without a single interception.  Frazer is the #2.
10/133:45pmZach FrazerQB Probable KneeFrazer is healthy and ready to play on Oct. 17 against Louisville, however he will only do so in case of emergency as Cody Enders, who overtook Frazer after his knee injury, is now the full-time starter. 
10/1210:21amRobbie FreyRB/KR Questionable Head/NeckFrey is questionable to play on Oct. 17 against Louisville after suffering an apparent head and neck injury in week six against Pitt.  He provides depth at running back but is most valuable to the Huskies as their primary kick returner.
10/1210:18amTwyon MartinDT Questionable LegMartin suffered a leg injury in week six against Pitt and is questionable to play on Oct. 17 against Louisville.  The starting DT joins key linebacker Scott Lutrus on the injury report, greatly thinning UConn both at the first and second levels of the defense.
10/1112:32pmBeau BrunelliDL Questionable UndisclosedThe strange case of Beau Brunelli's eligibility continues to twist and turn as UConn HC Randy Edsall has said Brunelli, who began the year suspended for three games before missing three more due to injury and was thought to be out of the season, is questionable to play for the first time this year on Oct. 17 against Louisville.  It is not known what role the talented freshman would play if he does get on the field.
09/285:45pmKijuan DabneyLB Out For Year ShoulderReserve LB Dabney has underwent surgery on his left shoulder and will not play again in 2009.  The junior had been replacing the injured Scott Lutrus in the lineup and was getting considerable playing time.  The loss greatly thins the linebacking corps, as defensive back Robert McClain needed to be shifted from DB to LB to help with depth.
09/285:43pmKelmetrus WylieRB Out ArmReserve RB Wylie is out for 4-6 weeks after breaking his arm in week four.  The reserve running back was the primary backup to Jordan Todman.

Three redshirt freshmen remain on the roster at tight end; Ryan Griffin and John Delahunt have separated themselves from the pack according to HC Edsall. Both are big and physical and could help out the offense tremendously.
08/2512:11pmJohn YurekS Out For Year KneeReserve safety John Yurek suffered a knee injury and will miss the 2009 season. RS freshman Jerome Junior will solidify his role as backup to 2nd TM BE stud Robert Vaughn at free safety.

10/099:08amKyle GriswouldRB Out For Year LegTrue freshman RB Kyle Griswould has missed the first five games of the season and had surgery on his knee recently.  He is likely out for the season.  It is believed that Griswould's prolonged absence makes it easier for the Duke coaching staff to redshirt him.  Prior to the injury, Griswould had outperformed highly touted local product Desmond Scott and could have seen action during the season if healthy.
09/1111:14amAnthony Young-WisemanS Out For Year KneeTrue freshman DB Anthony Young-Wiseman will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a knee injury.  Young-Wiseman was listed as the No. 2 SS when senior Zack Asack was dismissed from the team.

09/2710:20amAntonio AllisonDT Out FootAllison 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.

10/129:09amDarius JohnsonDE Questionable ShoulderJohnson sat out the last three games due to a shoulder injury and is questionable for Illinois. 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.

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.

10/1210:46amBrandon HaroldDL Questionable KneeHarold is hopeful to play on Oct. 17 against Texas A&M after he re-aggravated a knee injury in week six that he originally suffered prior to opening weekend and forced him out of the first five games.  He began fall camp as a projected starter on the defensive line.  K-State HC Bill Snyder has indicated Harold may take a redshirt, but also has remarked that he's been impressed by Harold's recent practices.
10/1111:48amAubrey QuarelsWR/KR Questionable LegQuarels is yet to see the field this season due to a leg injury.  Consider him questionable to return on Oct. 17 against Texas A&M.  Quarels sees some action in the passing game, having brought in 12 receptions last season, but his value comes mostly as the Wildcats primary kick and punt returner. 
09/179:00amKadero TerrellDL Out LegTerrell is out indefinitely with a leg injury.  The reserve defensive lineman has not played yet in 2009 and no information is available regarding a potential return.  He provides veteran depth on the defensive front when healthy.

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.

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.

10/159:36amRichie FalgoutWR Questionable AnkleJunior 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.
10/159:32amRichard BrooksLB Probable ArmSophomore 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.
10/159:31amKyron BenoitLB Doubtful AnkleSophomore 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.
10/159:30amColin WindsorT Probable KneeJunior 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.
10/159:28amMatt DesormeauxFB Probable KneeJunior 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.

10/1611:47amPhillip LivasWR Questionable ToeLivas has been limited by a toe injury and is questionable for New Mexico State. The junior was only able to play 11 snaps last Friday at Nevada after only playing 19 snaps the previous week. HC Dooley said it is a dilemma - rest Livas or play him while he's not 100%.
10/1212:43pmDJ MorrowRB Questionable HamstringMorrow suffered a hamstring injury in week three and has not played since. He is questionable for New Mexico State.

10/177:08amDarius AshleyRB Probable ShoulderFreshman RB Ashley suffered a minor shoulder injury in week five and surprisingly did not play on Oct. 10 against Southern Miss, but mostly was held out as a precaution due to the short week.  Ashley saw his first extended action in week five, rushing three times for 15 yards and also catching a pass.  He is expected to continue to provide depth the Cardinals' rushing attack and is probable on Oct. 17 against UConn.
10/151:41pmDoug BeaumontWR Questionable ConcussionStarting WR Beaumont is questionable to play on Oct. 17 against UConn as he recovers from a concussion apparently suffered in week six against Southern Miss.  Beaumont ranks second on the Cardinals in receiving behind only Scotty Long with 15 grabs for 227 yards.  HC Steve Kragthorpe has said Beaumont is almost free of any symptoms but wants to be cautious with him since head injuries are so volatile. 
10/1112:29pmBrandon HeathLB Questionable AnkleAn ankle injury kept Heath off the field the past three weeks and has left him questionable to return on Oct. 17 against UConn.  Heath is one of the Cardinals top linebackers when healthy, but replacement Chris Campa has been performing well in his absence, racking up plenty of tackles over the past three games.

10/119:07amThomas ParsonsG Probable SuspensionRedshirt freshman RG Thomas Parsons served a five-game suspension but did not return to action against Florida.  He is eligible to return for the Auburn game (Oct 24).  Parsons is the No. 2 RG behind senior Lyle Hitt.

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.

10/139:18amBruce CampbellT Questionable KneeJunior LT Bruce Campbell will miss the Wake Forest game (Oct 10) and is listed as questionable for Virginia with an MCL sprain.  Campbell is considered to be the Terps' top offensive lineman, but he has been sidelined earlier this season with a turf toe injury.  Head coach Ralph Friedgen believes that Campbell's loss will leave Maryland very thin on the offensive line.
10/1111:13amLouis BermanLB Questionable LegJunior LB Louis Berman missed five straight games with a leg injury.  His status for Virginia is unknown.  Berman is listed as the No. 4 Anchor LB on the Terps' depth chart.  He had not seen game action prior to 2009.
10/1111:12amTravis BaltzP Out LegJunior P Travis Baltz was hit on a punt attempt during the Rutgers game and did not return.  He is expected to miss at least two weeks with an unspecified leg injury.  Junior Ted Townsley (No. 2 P) and true freshman Nick Ferrara (No. 1 K) handled punting duties for the rest of the Rutgers game and will continue to do so in Baltz's absence.
10/1111:12amDanny EdwardsC Questionable ConcussionJunior C Danny Edwards missed the Wake Forest game with a concussion.  His status for Virginia is questionable.  Edwards is the No. 2 C behind senior Phil Costa.  Edwards will be replaced by true freshman Bennett Fulper.

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. 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.

10/1611:58pmJoel FigueroaG Out Lower extremityJunior 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.
10/1612:38pmJosh HolmesDT Out Lower extremityJunior 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.
10/1612:29pmRichard 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.
10/1612:28pmAdewale OjomoDE Out For Year JawDE 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.
10/1612:28pmMarcus 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. 
10/1612:23pmJoJo NicolasS Out Upper extremityJunior 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. 
10/1612:21pmAldarius JohnsonWR Out ArmSophomore 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.
10/1612:20pmPatrick HillFB Out Lower extremitySenior 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.
10/157:58amGraig CooperRB Probable Lower extremityJunior 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.
10/147:18pmEric MoncurDE Out Lower extremitySenior 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.
10/145:13pmRandy PhillipsS Out ArmSenior 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.
10/1311:27amRyan 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.
10/1311:04amJordan FutchLB Out For Year KneeSophomore 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.
10/1111:59amSteven WesleyDE Questionable Lower extremityJunior 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.

10/041:49pmBen JonesOL Probable IllnessRedshirt 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.
08/251:10pmTaylor CookQB Out For Year TransferBackup 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.
