Time for the Tuesday injury update. Note these are new items only.
Arizona State will be without starting QB Taylor Kelly for an indefinite period, although there’s already indications he might be back as soon as the USC game. But he’s out for UCLA this week, and junior Mike Berkovici will get his first start for the Sun Devils.
Arizona could be without a couple of bigs this weekend. Guard Jacob Alsadek has a foot injury and nose guard Jeff Worthy is questionable after getting concussed.
Boise State might get both OT Rees Odhiambo and CB Bryan Douglas back for Saturday’s game. Consider each player day to day for now.
Bowling Green LB DJ Lynch is now questionable for the Wisconsin game on Saturday as he tries to get back from a knee injury.
Central Michigan RB Thomas Rawls pulled a no-show for the Syracuse game and then got arrested the next day. Star wideout Titus Davis remains a question mark for the Kansas game.
Colorado OL Jeromy Irwin is a question mark for the Hawaii matchup as his concussion is evaluated.
Duke will likely be minus guard Lucas Patrick for the Tulane game. He’s doubtful with a leg injury.
Florida State has some defensive issues, with Eddie Goldman, Justin Shanks and Nile Lawrence-Stample all questionable.
Georgia Southern could be minus three starters on Saturday. QB Kevin Ellison has a shoulder injury, TE Nardo Govan is battling a leg problem and DL Jonathan Battle is also have leg issues.
Georgia State got dinged up against Air Force. Several question marks for the Washington game. The most significant potential absences are RB Krysten Hammon and guard Taylor Evans.
Three Marshall starters are question marks for the Akron game. DB AJ Leggett, DL Arnold Blackmon and OL Sebastian Johansson are each day to day right now.
Cluster injuries again for Maryland, a team that has been phenomenally unlucky in this regard for three years running now. Three of their four starting LB’s are questionable for the Syracuse game.
Massachusetts RB Jamal Wilson went down with an ankle injury against Vanderbilt and is out indefinitely.
Miami Florida QB Kevin Olsen has legal problems and could well be finished as a Hurricane.
Michigan is hoping to have WR Devin Funchess back on Saturday, but he’s a question mark as are starting DB’s Jarrod Wilson and Raymon Taylor.
Minnesota QB Mitch Leidner is again questionable as is starting guard Zac Epping.
Tago Smith did a terrific job subbing at QB for Navy this past weekend. but starter Keenan Reynolds should be good to go the for the Rutgers game.
North Carolina has guard problems this week. Landon Turner is likely out for East Carolina and Caleb Peterson is a question mark.
Ohio LB Ben Russell is now out for the season and OL Nick Gibbons is questionable for the Idaho game.
Oklahoma RB Keith Ford is out for West Virginia and will likely miss at least 2-3 weeks.
Oregon State has a couple of starters shaky for the San Diego State game. Guard Garrett Weinreich has a knee problem and fullback Tyler Anderson is nursing a hamstring issue.
Pittsburgh starting DE David Durham’s shoulder has him listed as a question mark for the Iowa game.
Big absence for San Diego State as talented WR Ezell Ruffin has a broken collarbone and will probably not play till November.
South Alabama punter Corliss Waitman could be an eligibility casualty.
South Florida wideout Andre Davis has a bruised sternum and could be out of action Friday vs. UConn.
Texas A&M could rest three banged up starters against SMU. TE Cameron Clear, OL Mike Matthews and LB Jordan Mastrogiovanni are all status up in the air currently.
Toledo will likely have RB Kareem Hunt in action for the Ball State game. But the Rockets now have yet another injury in the secondary with Jordan Martin questionable.
Troy QB Brando Silvers has a concussion and might have to sit out the Georgia game.
Tulane starting left tackle Arturo Uzdavinis is day to day with a shoulder injury, so he is a question mark for the Duke game.
UL Lafayette is missing a key component with WR Jamal Robinson now out indefinitely with a knee injury. LB Chris Hill is also questionable for the Ragin’ Cajuns.
Explosive UNLV WR Marcus Sullivan is bothered by a leg injury and he’s questionable for the Houston game.
Bad news for Utah State as QB Chuckie Keeton is going to miss at least the Arkansas State game. Top target Brandon Swindall is out for the season as well.
Wake Forest left tackle Antonio Ford has an ankle injury and could miss the Army game.
Washington CB Marcus Peters is still listed as suspended, so he’s at best questionable for Georgia State.
Wyoming guard Sam Hardy is questionable with an ankle and his backup Jake Jones is as well as he recovers from an appendectomy.

Two early CFB best bets now available. One is a top-rated 3* underdog that should be favored with revenge and a scheduling edge vs. a worn down team in a flat spot. The other best bet fades an overrated team in a look-ahead spot. I expect both these lines to move. Available now with a special 2 for 1 offer.
