I know coaches want any advantage they can find, but it's already hard enough to keep track of our roster with transfers and now it's a guessing game on injuries.
Didn't play Saturday:
DL - Yondjouen - out for season
RB - Smith - didn't dress for Ole Miss allegedly, did dress Saturday but didn't play... allegedly
WR - Blaylock - haven't heard any news on him
WR - Lane(?) - haven't heard any news on him
DB - Watson(?) - didn't he leave a game earlier this year? Odd he didn't get in this game with how Sims was playing but Rodney Shelley was in for 3 snaps
DB - Harvey(?) - listed as the starter still, but Johnson played every defensive snap
Injured/limited snaps in game:
OL - Williams - he's gone down in every game this year and IIRC this is the second time he hasn't gone back in
DB - Brooks(?) - I don't remember him going down, but PFF says he only played 16 snaps. Did anyone notice this? Was it just a substitute for CPL?
RB - Cooley - obviously not playing at 100%
TE - Seither(?) - only credited with 8 plays, but I don't remember them, strange that he's been listed third on the depth chart all season so this might be just a lack of PT
DL - Kennard - seemed to just be cramping
Smith didn't play. I assume banged up a little but he dressed so likely could have been used in emergency.
Blaylock didn't play. Same as above, I assume he's banged up because he would have at least been fielding punts if not in WR rotation.
Lane - Key said he was travelling and dressing for this game but would be for emergency only. I hope we won't need him against BG this week and let him get healed up better for Miami.
Watson I don't believe got in against Ole Miss either. I don't know if he's fighting injury also or has just been passed on depth. He did have a couple PI's called on him early this season, maybe he's fallen down the chart, but I'd rather see some PI's being aggressive sometimes rather than just letting long completions be made.
Harvey I think is also banged up but could have played if needed.
Williams has just been snake-bit this year. He was a little bit limited in camp due to injury, and injured his shoulder against UL in the 1st half. I'm not sure if that's what his pre-season injury was also but some reason I seem to recall it being that. Two weeks ago at Ole Miss and this past week at Wake he's been rolled up under from behind and seemed to suffer a lower leg/knee injury. I believe he came back in at Ole Miss, but Saturday he looked to be in a lot of pain and could barely put weight on the leg. We looked fine without him in there but we're getting to the end of decent depth at OL. We can't afford to lose anybody else and hopefully Williams will make it back.
Brooks has been playing hurt since UL game and I think the coaches are finally letting other guys play in that spot more. He's a team leader and one of the best on defense but if he's only at 60-70% I think we have guys that can be better than that.
Cooley was also injured during fall camp and missed some time. I don't believe he's been 100% yet but we've seen some flashes out of him so maybe he continues to improve.
Seither also has been battling injury since camp. He's probably played the least of all the TEs but he's just benefited from being in at the right time when some of the play calls have been made to the TE.
Kennard yes I don't believe he's been really injured, just cramps and bumps here and there.
