11/131:34pmAverell SpicerDT Out CalfSpicer has been working his way back from an ankle injury only to be derailed by a recent calf injury. The pro prospect has played sparingly this season and active sophomores Jurrell Casey and Armond Armstead are playing quite well in the trenches.
11/131:29pmMalcolm SmithLB Questionable ShoulderSmith has a shoulder injury that kept him out of the ASU game in week 11. The junior is questionable for Stanford. Shane Horton took most of the first-team reps at weak-side linebacker in his place and Jordan Campbell is serving as Horton's backup.

11/1211:27amDamian WilliamsWR Doubtful AnkleThe Trojans will likely be without their leading receiver when they host Stanford Saturday. Williams suffered a high-ankle sprain and it is unknown how long the junior will be out. A healthy Ronald Johnson has returned and will likely get a lot of looks along with Brice Butler. There is also talk of Joe McKnight lining up as a receiver this coming weekend.
11/1211:26amMichael MorganLB Questionable WristMorgan has a sprained wrist and is questionable to play Saturday vs. Stanford. Freshman Devon Kennard might start at strongside linebacker in Morgan's place.

The RS sophomore is leaning towards having surgery and would miss the remainder of the season if he chose to do so.

09/0110:55amShareece WrightCB Out For Year KneeProjected starting CB Shareece Wright has a knee injury that continues to bother him but it is his academic ineligibility that will keep him from playing the 2009 season. Senior Josh Pinkard moved from safety to cornerback and senior Will Harris, a longtime backup, is starting at safety.
08/236:16amPatrick HallDB Out For Year KneeFreshman DB Patrick Hall suffered a torn ACL in his first practice with the Trojans this week.

09/189:38amAaron CorpQB Starter N/ASophomore Aaron Corp is expected to get his first career start if Matt Barkley can't play Saturday at Washington because of his injured shoulder. However, HC Pete Carroll has not officially name a starter and is not about to willingly provide his former offensive and defensive coordinators with any concrete information that would help them.
09/179:40amDrew McAllisterS Probable HipMcAllister worked with the first team Wednesday in practice after missing last week because of sore hip. He is on track to start if Mays can't go.
09/179:38amMarc TylerRB Doubtful ToeTyler did not play Saturday vs. Ohio State because of a sprained toe. Stafon Johnson and Joe McKnight got the bulk of the carries and combined for over 100 yards. Johnson scored two touchdowns. Tyler is listed as doubtful for week three at Washington.
09/179:37amCharles BrownOL Probable IllnessBrown was not at practice early this week due to an illness. Junior Butch Lewis worked with the first-team offense in place of the 2008 HM Pac-10 tackle and would likely get the start if Brown cannot play at Washington. However, Brown has been upgraded to probable for Saturday.
09/167:27pmTaylor MaysS Probable KneeMays limped off the field at Ohio State with what was later diagnosed as a mild knee sprain but was able to return to the game and finished with a team-high eight tackles. He may sit out practice this week but seeing that his injury is mostly a pain-tolerance issue the senior is expected to play Washington on Saturday.
09/167:24pmMatt BarkleyQB Doubtful ShoulderBarkley suffered a bruised shoulder in week two but HC Carroll said he is expected to practice this week in preparation for Washington. Barkley didn't miss any action and led the Trojans to victory at Ohio State. The freshman has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Washington as he was not able to practice Tuesday. Aaron Corp is nearly 100% after cracking a fibula during the preseason and has been running with the No. 1 offense.
09/1210:32pmNick HowellOL Questionable AnkleSenior lineman Nick Howell has been sidelined with an ankle injury and has not played in the first two games. His status for week three at Washington is questionable.
09/0110:55amShareece WrightCB Out For Year KneeProjected starting CB Shareece Wright has a knee injury that continues to bother him but it is his academic ineligibility that will keep him from playing the 2009 season. Senior Josh Pinkard moved from safety to cornerback and senior Will Harris, a longtime backup, is starting at safety.
08/301:16pmRonald JohnsonWR Out CollarboneJunior WR Ronald Johnson broke his collarbone during the Trojans' mock game yesterday and will be sidelined until at least mid-October. Johnson was the third-leading receiver in 2008 with 33 catches for 570 yards and eight touchdowns. He led all receivers in average yards per catch (17.3). Junior Damian Williams will take Johnson's spot at flanker while Junior David Ausberry will move into the starting lineup at split end. Promising freshmen Brice Butler and De'Von Flournoy will also move up the depth chart.
08/236:16amPatrick HallDB Out For Year KneeFreshman DB Patrick Hall suffered a torn ACL in his first practice with the Trojans this week. He will have surgery and is expected to sit out the 2009 season. Hall did not participate in workouts for the first 11 days of training camp because of academic certification issues.

09/1110:04pmKristofer O'DowdC Probable KneeJunior Kristofer O'Dowd suffered a dislocated right knee cap during a scrimmage and was initially expected to miss up to a month. Surgery was not required and it looks like the 2008 All-Pac 10 center is well enough to start Saturday when the Trojans visit Ohio State. With O'Dowd out last weekend against San Jose State, sixth-year senior Jeff Byers moved over to center from guard and Butch Lewis and Alex Parsons played guard. With a healthy O'Dowd, Byers and Parson are the likely starters at guard.
09/1110:01pmBrian BauchamCB Probable IllnessBaucham was kept away from teammates this past week and did not attend the San Jose State game. He worked with the first-team nickel defense Wednesday, a role he nearly won before getting sick. The freshman is expected to play Saturday at Ohio State.

09/0611:11pmAverell SpicerDT Probable AnkleSpicer played a limited amount in week one vs. San Jose State but is expected to be back to full form when USC travels to Ohio State. The senior should be in the starting lineup alongside junior Christian Tupou but sophomore Jurrell Casey is ready to jump in if needed.

Surgery was not required and it looks like the 2008 All-Pac 10 center could be returning to the field a lot sooner. The hope is that he can get a little playing time against San Jose State in an effort to shake off the rust and be prepared for the Ohio State matchup. Senior Alex Parsons is on track to start in O'Dowd's spot whether he can play or not.
08/3112:33pmAverell SpicerDL Questionable AnkleProjected starting DT Averell Spicer has been out with a high ankle sprain but is expected to return to practice this week.

08/2912:47pmMatt BarkleyQB Starter N/AFreshman Matt Barkley took advantage of the injury to Aaron Corp and has been named the starter for the Trojans. He is the first true freshman in Trojan history to earn the starting job. Many believed Barkley would supplant Corp at some point this season, many did not think it would happen before the season began. After the season opener against San Jose State (a game USC could win WITHOUT a QB) Barkley will play his first collegiate road game at the Horseshoe in Columbus on national television.
08/2912:35pmAaron CorpQB Probable KneeAs expected, projected starting QB Aaron Corp returned to practice Wednesday (26th) after being injured when a lineman rolled into him. Super Frosh Matt Barkley took snaps with the first-team offense in Corp's absence and has performed "remarkably well" according to HC Carroll. So well, in fact, that it has been announced that Barkley will be the Trojans' starter for the season opener.
