Kansas Jayhawks' Depth Chart Unchanged, Big Returns Possible

The Kansas Jayhawks return from their idle week with a home tilt against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The rest came at exactly the right time for Kansas, allowing many of the players who are worn down or nursing injuries to get back into top form. As such, there haven't been any significant updates to the depth chart.

Here is the 2-deep as released by Kansas Athletics earlier this week. It is still subject to change based on practices and during the week gameplanning. Players in italics are not expected to play due to mid-week updates

Takeaways

Nothing has changed since before the bye on paper, but we didn't really expect anything to. Instead, it was the Monday press conference updates that shed some light on some potential changes.

Lance Leipold was asked about the injury situation for various players, and his only comment was that Jalon Daniels and Cobee Bryant were both back at practice. It is still uncertain what their status is for the game tomorrow.
Lonnie Phelps was reportedly a full participant, and is expected to be good for Saturday.
Many of the players that were limited due to playing through injuries have mended well, and I've heard you should expect to see some huge benefits from the idle week.

I don't expect there to be many updates the rest of the season, but we'll keep an eye out for any major developments.
