Game 5 Depth Chart / Game Notes / Injury Updates | Duke

[wiseman3]

I think its more likely that Fran meant he is going to miss 5 weeks of games, not 5 weeks total. He has a fibula fracture, which is exactly what Marlowe Wax had last year. Looking back to his timeframe, Wax was out for 54 days. That same time frame for Boobie Johnson would have him missing 5 games and being back for SMU October 4th

Bringing this back. Nobody believed me at the time...I'm still predicting SMU for Boobie

No Derek McDonald.

Interesting that Duke has no questionable or probable players. If this is inaccurate are they fined? I know I’m just talking crazy with a Carolina school.

No Derek McDonald.

Does any know if any players out for Duke are significant players for them?

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Damn. I was really hoping Boobie was going to be back this week, especially with Tyshawn Russell being questionable.

Does this mean Emanuel Ross is back and ready to go?

He is

He got in the game for a handful of plays last week.

Their projected starting oline in preseason doesn’t show any of the oline players listed. They bring back four of five linemen from a strong line last year:

Duke will be missing two starting linebackers for this one and I imagine that’s gonna be a challenge for them:

Key Duke player will miss Syracuse game; one defender will return for NC State

Duke and Syracuse will both miss major contributors in their matchup this Saturday. The NC State injury report remains largely unchanged.

Also I am really bummed I won’t get to see Memorable Factor play

Morris is the only starter for Duke that is out. 6th leading tackler.

 

[kcsu]

Yeah I was right next to the tunnel and Duce made a couple trips back and forth throughout the game that seemed to be injury related.

Duce is dinged up

 

[Moontan]

Has Jakhari fully recovered?
If not, he’s clearly #3.

 

[llandz]

Yikes...those questionables and probables are scary.

Probably so we don't get fined again. The probables and questionables are really on the "fake an injury detail"

That's quality gamesmanship and chicanery if so.

That would have been quite the memory.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

That would have been quite the memory.

Instead it’s more like his arch enemy - Forgettable Non-Factor

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Four starters have been upgraded to probable from questionable. Only DB Duce Chestnut remains questionable. Ty Russell now out.

Cook and Grant are the guys we really need to be 100% for the rest of the season.

Not sure we have anyone else at their level on the roster.

It should be noted Duke has several walk-ons in their two deep in their secondary. And lots of freshmen on their second teams.

The dropoff from starters to backups is vast.

If the banged up guys can just get through the next two games before the bye I think they'll be in great shape.

I’d argue Mack too.

Final injury report:

Looks like Duce is good.
