College Football Injury Report Week 9: Quarterbacks dropping like flies
Defense
Ed Oliver – Houston
The star defensive tackle has missed two straight practices and is questionable for Houston’s game with USF. He’ll be a game-time decision. Oliver has 46 tackles, 11.5 TFL and two sacks this season. He is a consensus top 10 projected pick in the draft.
Rashan Gary – Michigan
Gary has missed the Wolverines last three games and there is no word on when the junior will return. Gary suffered an injury to his acromioclavicular joint in his shoulder before the season started has been unable to shake it. Gary has 22 tackles this season, as well as 4.5 TFL, and two sacks for Michigan, who is on a bye this weekend.
Nate Hall – Northwestern
Linebacker Nate Hall probably will not return for the Wildcats against Wisconsin this weekend. Hall has appeared in four games this season, registering 26 tackles and one interception. Hall was not listed on the team’s depth chart for this weekend’s game. Hall, a senior, was an All-Big Ten honorable mention last season.
