College Football Injury Report: Week 7

This week’s College Football injury report leaves some interesting decisions for teams in Week 7. In some big primetime games, some players return while others will be missed…

This week’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Wisconsin Badgers could get interesting in a hurry. The Badgers are without their number running back and another running back is questionable with a shoulder injury.

Clemson returns one of their key offensive weapons at just the right time as they enter ACC play. While the Cornhuskers are laboring with a few injuries, giving the Indiana Hoosiers a good chance at another possible upset.

Jordan Westerkamp, WR, Nebraska

The Cornhuskers will also be without their leading receiver Jordan Westerkamp for Saturday’s game against Indiana. Westerkamp will miss the game due to a lower back injury.

Westerkamp is ties for the lead in touchdowns on the team with five. He has 15 catches for 247 yards on the season. His presence will certainly be missed on the Cornhuskers offense.

The Cornhuskers will look to receivers Brandon Reilly and Stanley Morgan to fill the void.

Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson

Wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is available and expected to play for the Clemson Tigers game this week against the NC State Wolfpack.

Renfrow returns from a broken hand he suffered in Week 2 against the Troy Trojans. He adds another dimension on offense for Clemson just at the right time.

He has four catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns so far this season.

Bradrick Shaw, RB, Wisconsin

Running back Bradrick Shaw is questionable this week for the Badgers game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Shaw is nursing an apparent shoulder injury.

Shaw has 24 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown this season. He is averaging 5.7 yards per carry.

If Shaw doesn’t play, it could be a huge blow to Wisconsin’s offense. Their rushing attack didn’t fare very well against Michigan last week.

At 1-1 in Big Ten play, they’ll need all their offensive firepower to have a shot at the title.

Taiwan Deal, RB, Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Badgers will be without one of their usual running backs in rotation this week against Ohio State. Running back Taiwan Deal is doubtful to play due to an ankle injury.

Deal has 20 carries for 94 yards on the season. The Badgers use a variety of running backs on offense. After last week’s performance, Deal not playing puts a huge hole in the depth of the Badgers offense.

Manny Wilkins, QB, Arizona State

Quarterback Manny Wilkins will play in this week’s game for the Sun Devils against Colorado despite a foot injury. Wilkins did not play in last week’s 23-20 victory over UCLA.

At 5-1 on the season and 2-1 in the Pac-12 South, the Sun Devils control their own destiny in the conference. They’ll need their starting quarterback for continued success.

Wilkins has 1,233 passing yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions so far this season.

Brady White, QB, Brady White

Arizona State backup quarterback Brady White was lost for the season last game due to a foot injury.

White threw for 179 yards and a touchdown in the Sun Devils 23-20 victory over the UCLA Bruins last week in the absence of Manny Wilkins.

Without White, next up is true freshman quarterback Dillon Sterling-Cole to take reps at backup.
