Matt Campbell with three notable injury updates: Jeremiah Cooper (probable), Alex Tatsch (doubtful), TE Gabe Burkle (doubtful).

Jeremiah Cooper is the closest of that group to playing on Saturday, but he notes that it's still somewhat early in the wk for the other two.

Central Michigan HB Vaughn Blue (appendectomy) is expected to be ready to play in Week 1 vs. New Mexico after making a full recovery, per coach Matt Drinkall.

No other major injury news to report ahead of the contest.

[Sean Reider @lenaweereider]

New Mexico head coach Jason Eck said he has not named a starting quarterback and plans to play multiple in the Lobos’ opener against Central Michigan.

QB Jack Layne will also be out for the year after getting surgery.

Story to come.

Standout USC sophomore DT Jahkeem Stewart won’t play this week against San Jose State with a foot injury, coach Lincoln Riley said.

But Riley said he thinks Stewart will be back the next week against Fresno State.

“It’s certainly not long term,” Riley said.

[Dima Mixon @dima_mixon]

QB Ethan Hampton had his helmet today but for the period I watched practice, the last hour and a half, he did not throw a football.

Anderson said no starting QB decision has been made, and that Hampton’s injury “took a little longer than we thought,”

“A little bit more patience would be the request,” Anderson said on looming QB decision.

Miami (OH)'s quarterback competition between Thomas Gotkowski and David McComb was ultimately decided by injury.

Gotkowski is out for the season. McComb will be the Week 1 starter at Pitt.

Starting RB Sam Brown and RT Kevin Terry missed practice today at Temple, but OC Tyler Walker said they are just bumped and bruised and would be available if the Owls had a game today. Temple is already down one OT with Luke Watson sidelined by injury.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

New Mexico QB Jack Layne is questionable for the opener against Central Michigan, coach Jason Eck told ESPN. He’s been practicing some but still has not done full team segments as he recovers from offseason elbow surgery. His return timeline remains uncertain.

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

It appears the K-State football team is dealing with preseason injuries on the offensive line.

Tanner Morley and John Pastore weren't in attendance at practice this morning.

George Fitzpatrick was in the house, but he wore street clothes and didn't participate in drills.

[Kara Richey @Kara_Richey]

Tough news for Arkansas State & RB Devin Spencer from the weekend, with Coach Butch Jones saying in part on Saturday, "Right now it's safe to say he'll miss the regular season..."

Spencer, last year's leading rusher, suffered a non-contact knee injury right before fall camp.

[Mike Barber @StillMikeBarber]

UVA coach Tony Elliott says LB Kam Robinson is still on pace to play the opener.

[David Cloninger @DCPandC]

Bad news from USC as the last open practice is about to commence: Jayden Gibson and Jayden Sellers are each out for the season.

Lower-body injuries for each.

[Dima Mixon @dima_mixon]

Southern Miss QB Ethan Hampton’s first fall scrimmage lasted just one drive after injuring his throwing hand.
