Mali over stretched for the catch at the goaline at the end of the 1H.
Likely strained oblique

Agreed…. Go with Mallory,Pringle and Hellcat at RB and rest anyone else that is banged up with injuries that could linger. Watched Central Michigan win a death struggle with Colgate a couple of weeks ago and they are God awful on offense.

If they were all one position, say TE, I'd be concerned. If they were all on one side of the ball, I'd be slightly concerned. But a CB, RB, WR, WR, and DT is just random chance. This is (probably) just chit happens

SJ looked REALLY banged up, i think the most prudent thing to do with him is sit him the rest of the year just to be safe

Play Mensah so he can develop some chemistry with other WRs, or at least reignite his chemistry with Barkate. We'll need it down the stretch. Also, with Lofton. We need to go out there without Toney and Fletcher and win a game.

He was hurt the play before that. Watch him get up favoring his shoulder after the tackle out of bounds.

Yes, Mali was a shoulder. That’s definitive.

He has plenty of chemistry with Barkate, we just don’t run plays for the guy! Dawson’s offense is overusing the slot guy. Barkate had 3 targets and two were on dum *** screens! Crazy!! Don’t tell me he’s not getting open. He’s just NOT the primary or secondary target on any plays. Saw him on the sidelines malcontent MULTIPLE TIMES & I don’t blame him. Every year no matter who is at that spot, they just don’t get looks. It’s a serious flaw in this offense.
Actually he was gettin locked up pretty good. A coupe times Mensah looked his way and he wasn’t open. Those types of thing are much easier to see in person.

Doesn’t help that Moten was literally speared by his own teammate Thorton.

I thought him landing hard on that concrete turf after making that catch is what caused it

It’s up to the wr to get open and the qb to find him. Who gets targeted also depends on the defense and qb reads. This game Mensah was being pressured more than usual so I don’t think he had time to go through his progressions like he had prior games.

We don’t scheme him open. We don’t run easy routes that can’t be defended out wide 1v1 at all

That’s what I’m saying. The primary and secondary read are never the WR on the wide side in Dawson’s scheme

Doubt there will be an injury report released since it's not an ACC game
But point taken

Should injuries in football are usually a combination of things.
Didn't train the muscles well enough, this includes standard weights, sport specific scapular and flexibility.
Poor tackling habits of over extending arms and reaching, or just only using arms or not cross body tacking, see OJ on latter and Moten on former.
With Fletcher piling on happens.
But I mean, the OL and struggling and the defense is on more and their feeding Toney a lot.
Or their CB1 is pretty good. Two things can be true. We did scheme him open once on the bunch formation left, iso right. He caught that ball but the CB tackled him immediately. When we ran that play with Zay it was 15+ yards every time. Just follow what LuCane is saying. He’s not a 1:1 buster. They will figure it out tho.
Or turf could have something to do with it. Not a coincidence all this happened last night. Players hate playing on that garbage.
