In roughly 24 hours, the West Virginia Mountaineers and the 23rd-ranked BYU Cougars will be teeing ball up in. Provo. Just a few moments ago, both teams revealed the latest injury report.

Thursday night's full injury report

West Virginia

OUT: QB Nicco Marchiol, QB Jaylen Henderson, RB Jahiem White, WR Jaden Bray, WR Oran Singleton, OL Cooper Young, DL Devin Grant, S Julien Horton

QUESTIONABLE: QB Max Brown

PROBABLE: RB Tye Edwards,

BYU

OUT: RB Sione Moa, WR Jojo Phillips, LB Choé Bryant-Strother, CB Jonathan Kabeya

My two cents

OL Austin Leausa, LB Isaiah Glasker, and S Tommy Prassas all appear to be good to go after previously being listed as probable for BYU. For West Virginia, that also appears to be the case for starting right guard Kimo Makane'ole, who was previously tabbed as probable. The Mountaineers may start Makane'ole, but don't be surprised to see Donovan Haslem or Josh Aisosa rotate into the game at some point. Both saw action in last week's loss to Utah and may have done enough to prove they belong in the offensive line rotation.

Makane'ole is the only update for West Virginia. Running back Tye Edwards is still listed as probable, but there shouldn't be any fear that he'll miss his third straight game unless he suffers a setback during pregame warmups. His presence will give WVU a much-needed boost in the ground game, alongside Diore Hubbard, who showed some things last week, and Cyncir Bowers, who is also returning after missing last week due to being in the concussion protocol.

The Mountaineers and Cougars will get the action started at 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Following the game, be sure to stop over to our YouTube page (West Virginia On SI) for the Mountaineer Postgame Show with former WVU running back Eugene Napoleon and me. We'll offer our initial thoughts on what went down in Lawrence and discuss what needs to be fixed moving forward.
