Dino Babers Provides Updates on Oronde Gadsden, David Wohlabaugh

The Syracuse football players were injured in the win over Western Michigan.

Syracuse football saw two of its starters go down to injury in a 48-7 win over Western Michigan. Tight end Oronde Gadsden went out on the second offensive play for the Orange, grabbing his ankle, limped to the locker room and returning from the locker room in a walking boot and crutches. Right tackle David Wohlabaugh went down in the second quarter, could not put pressure on his leg and used crutches to go to the locker room. Head coach Dino Babers provided an update on their status in the postgame press conference. 

"David is probably in a situation where he will not be out there for a while," Babers said. "We're hoping to get him back soon but it's going to be a little bit extended on that one. Most of the other guys we're going to have to turn around and we're going to have to look and see how it goes between this 24 hour period before we get them in the training room. Really the 12 hour period before we get them back in the training room."

Babers further clarified that Gadsden fits into that second group that needs to get back into the training room for further evaluation. He also stated it is not the same ankle that Gadsden rolled towards the end of training camp.
