Purdue game injury updates

Doesn't sound like Turner is very likely to play. Westerkamp would get his first start if Turner can't go.

Maybe AMoore will get some extra reps too. I know he isn't technically JT's position but he has played in the slot a bit this year.

Another starter (Taylor is first) who’s out: Senior Elkhorn tight end Jake Long, who pulled a hamstring against Illinois.

I think Carter and Cotton can hold down position this weekend.

Wide receiver Jamal Turner — who also pulled a hamstring against Illinois — practiced Thursday and will be available against Purdue, Pelini said.

Will linebacker Zaire Anderson, who missed the Illinois game with a bone bruise, had his “best day” of practice Thursday and should play at Purdue

Wide receiver Tyler Wullenwaber will not make the trip to Purdue after a shoulder injury from a few weeks ago flared up again.

So far, no one wearing street clothes at practice really concerns me on the productivity of our offense. I think our depth is shining more than it ever has. Defensive side, I thought we would be hurting without Z Anderson, but I almost think we played better ball with Rose and Afalava in. Its going to be interesting to see how this defense does on the road. Hopefully they have the mental attitude of "wanting to silence the home crowd".

Good thing about playing on the road, the crowd will already be quiet when we are on D, depending on how red things get

Ive always felt our D has played better on the road overall, mainly b/c I think they can hear each other easier to make the correct calls.
