That is excellent news. You would have to think if guys are practicing on a Tuesday that they're likely to play on Saturday.

Injury worries from least to worst:
Seemingly recovered from earlier injuries
OL: Hufford
OL: Travis
QB: Rocco
TE: Brahmer
Recently injured, should play with any luck:
TE/FB: Klotz - banged up / played
DL: Orange - banged up / played (came back in)
DL: Singleton - banged up / played (came back in)
CB: Porter - ankle
No clue:
S: Drew Surges
Hopefully can go, we really need them:
LB: Brezena - leg/hammy?
OR
LB: Sadowski - Mystery/redshirt
Won't play:
LB: McLaughlin - out for now
LB: Klosterman - out
LB: Wilich - out
LB: Bacon - out
Side note: Ta'Shawn James is out for the first half due to the absurd targeting call
Am I forgetting anyone?

Fortuitously, in this case Sadowsky seems more willing to help the team than the staff are to burn the redshirt.
Adding another year of separation from Caleb Bacon certainly isn’t going bro hurt. And Brezina will go back to Sam next year.
It says Bacon is a redshirt junior but could be be eligible for a medical redshirt if he doesn’t play for the rest of the year?
Yeah, if you’ve already redshirted but miss the final 70% or more of a season, you can apply for a medical hardship waiver.
Rules changed?
Edit: After looking it up, now I understand why there are so many 7th year players.

After seeing that hit by the Miami defender against Cal that was ruled "no targeting", there should never be any targeting called, ever!
Was it ever confirmed that Rocco was injured? The announcers made it sound like it was an issue with his shoulder pads during the baylor game, and that he changed shoulder pads between games.
They also referenced an injury and Rocco commented on it in the post game IIRC
Cal **** the bed that game, but the refs **** down Cals throat with that non call. Cal would have won that game
I wouldn’t expect any before the pregame show starts in twenty minutes.
You’d think if they aren’t comfortable with their LB’s you’d see more 4-2-5 now that we actually have DL depth. They switched to the 3-3-3 because we had safties and not much DL depth. But I think they must like the system and LB’s they have enough to keep doing it.
They tried that some during the Iowa game. It was somewhat effective. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some tonight
I didn't catch anything definitive on the pregame show. Hark said were maybe out our top 5 LB (which includes Brezena), but it didn't come off like he knew.
