09/25	2:23pm	Sean Lee	LB	Doubtful	Leg	Lee limped off the field in week three favoring his left leg but the injury is not considered to be serious. The senior looks very doubtful to play Saturday vs. Iowa. Lee missed last season after tearing the ACL in his right knee. Junior Bani Gbadyu will start for Lee on the strong side.
09/25	2:21pm	Nate Stupar	LB	Doubtful	Ankle	Stupar suffered a sprained ankle in practice this week and may not play this weekend vs. Iowa. All-Big 10 first team stud Navorro Bowman returned to practice this week and is expected to start.
09/22	10:01am	Navorro Bowman	LB	Probable	Groin	First-team All-Big 10 linebacker Navorro Bowman removed himself from the season opener and did not return. He has been bothered by a right groin injury for a couple of weeks. Bowman sat out the last two games but went through Monday's workout and has been upgraded to probable for Iowa. Sophomore Nate Stupar was terrific in week one relief, finishing with a team-high 10 tackles and a sack. Stupar started the last two games in place of Bowman.
09/21	9:22am	Graham Zug	WR	Questionable	Head	Zug was knocked woozy on a punt return in the week three game vs. Temple and did not play in the second half. His injury will be evaluated Monday and his status for Iowa is questionable. Freshman Curtis Drake saw significant playing time in relief of Zug.
08/17	10:48pm	Mike Mauti	LB	Out For Year	Knee	Promising sophomore linebacker Mike Mauti tore the ACL in one of his knees over the weekend. He will undergo surgery shortly and the expected rehab time is nine months. Mauti played as a true freshman last year and can redshirt in 2009. The loss of Mauti is huge. He was PSU's best young linebacker and was pushing for a starting spot. Mauti has the size (6-2, 230) to play inside or outside but was ideally suited to play outside. With Mauti out, PSU's starting linebacker trio is Sean Lee, Navorro Bowman and Josh Hull. Another young linebacker to watch is Nate Stupar.
08/09	11:14pm	James McDonald	WR	Out For Year	Dismissed	Senior wideout McDonald has been removed from the team and will not be invited back for a fifth season after being charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence. The reserve has seen little significant playing time but has appeared in 21 games.
08/09	10:58pm	Abe Koroma	DT	Out For Year	Personal	Joe-Pat said that Koroma is going to drop out for a year due to a "personal decision" and did not elaborate on whether the redshirt junior would be back for his final year of eligibility in 2010. He was listed as the No. 2 DT behind junior starter Ollie Ogbu. Koroma has 33 career tackles.

09/16	7:30pm	Navorro Bowman	LB	Doubtful	Groin	First-team All-Big 10 linebacker Navorro Bowman removed himself from the season opener and did not return. Team members said Bowman had been bothered by a right groin injury for a couple of weeks and he had to pull the plug early because of the injury. Bowman's sat out week two vs. Syracuse and has been ruled doubtful for the Temple game. Sophomore Nate Stupar was terrific in week one relief, finishing with a team-high 10 tackles and a sack. He only made five total tackles in week two, but grabbed an interception and ran it back to the Syracuse 2-yard line.

Team members said Bowman had been bothered by a right groin injury for a couple of weeks and he had to pull the plug early because of the injury. Bowman's status for week two vs. Syracuse is uncertain, and if he does play, he will not be 100%. Sophomore Nate Stupar was summoned and was terrific in week one relief, finishing with a team-high 10 tackles and a sack.
