Running Backs

D’Andre Swift – Georgia

Swift admitted that he’s been dealing with a groin injury all season. He is probable for Saturday’s game. It hampered him enough that he only got four carries against Missouri. He will fight through the injury and play on Saturday. Swift is second on the Bulldogs with 196 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

Chris Evans – Michigan

Evans is questionable for Michigan’s game against Northwestern. Harbaugh said he is hopeful that Evans can play but doesn’t want to put him in a situation where he will have a lingering injury. Evans has 172 yards rushing and two touchdowns this year.

LJ Scott – Michigan State

Scott is questionable for Saturday’s game with an ankle injury. Scott was injured two weeks ago against Arizona State and did not play in Week 4. He is expected to play on Saturday. Scott has run for 103 yards this season.

Wide Receivers

TJ Vasher – Texas Tech

Vasher is unlikely to play in Texas Tech’s matchup with West Virginia due to a sprained knee. Vasher has 16 catches for 273 yards and three touchdowns.

Thayer Thomas & C.J. Riley – NC State

NC State head coach Dave Doeren was optimistic in his press conference that both wide receivers would play on Saturday against Virginia. Thomas and Riley were both knocked out of NC State’s win over Marshall last week with concussion-like symptoms. If both play, NC State will have its full complement of receiving weapons.
