The West Virginia Mountaineers (2-5, 0-4) welcome the TCU Horned Frogs (5-2, 2-2) Saturday evening. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. EST with the action streaming on ESPN+.

West Virginia will look to end a four-game skid in its first home game in nearly a month.

The Mountaineers have dealt with a slew of injuries this season. Starting nose guard Hammond Russell IV has been the latest to be removed from the depth chart due to an undisclosed injury. The redshirt senior was sidelined against UCF.

Offensive lineman Mickel Clay is no longer listed on the depth chart. The senior has not made an appearance the last two games. Instead, Xavier Bausley returned the last two matchups in the slot behind redshirt senior Ty’Kieast Crawford.

Running back Tye Edwards has been removed from the two-deep after it was announced his hip injury is season-ending, along with redshirt junior quarterback Nicco Marchiol’s season-ending foot injury.

With a week of practice remaining, the depth chart is subject to change prior to kickoff.
