In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse head coach Dino Babers updated the status of fullback Chris Elmore and linebacker Stefon Thompson on Monday. He said both are out for the season after suffering injuries in the season opener against Louisville. The Orange will now move forward without two of its starters for the remainder of the 2022 season. 

"Both of them will be hopefully coming back (next year)," Babers said. "Unless something happens later in the season, both will be redshirting this year." 

On Thompson, Babers added that he is much more than a pass rusher saying his run defense is just as good. He noted that a lot of times other players make plays because Thompson takes double teams or redirects a play into another player. 

Elmore went down in the first quarter and did not return. Thompson went down in the second quarter and also did not return. Both were on the turf for an extended period of time being looked at by training staff before being helped off the field. Subsequently, Elmore and Thompson were seen on the sideline with crutches. 

Syracuse won its season opener 31-7 over Louisville despite those injuries. The Orange next faces UConn in its first road test of the season. The Orange and Huskies kick off at 7:00 p.m. Eastern on CBS Sports Network on Saturday, September 10th.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
