• Running back Daijun Edwards DNP in Saturday's season opener, Smart said "We feel like Daijun could have played in that game. He's actually had this injury before. We feel good about him. 
• EJ Lightsay "My mind went blank, but he's had some shoulder. He's been dealing with some pain, we are trying to get him back." 
• Ladd: "He's day to day. We thought he might have been able to go last week, was a game-time decision and we held him out because he had back pain on Friday." 
• Kendall Milton (Hamstring) "Kendall's dying to get out there man, he loves this program and it kills him to not be out there and he's not been able to practice during camp due to his injury. So, now are dealing with how to keep him warm. He doesn't have camp stamina. He couldn't get himself in playing shape just in camp."
