SEC Injury Report

WR Amari Cooper, Alabama, (ankle)

Next game: at No. 5 LSU, Saturday, 8 p.m. ET (CBS)

The standout freshman was an active participant during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, but his right ankle was heavily taped, according to Al.com. Cooper (32 catches, 472 yards, 5 TDs) likely won't be 100 percent for the game vs. the Tigers.

QB James Franklin, Missouri, (knee)

Next game: at No. 7 Florida, Saturday, noon ET (ESPN2)

Franklin, who has missed two games and played sparingly in two others, is healthy enough to start at The Swamp after coming off the bench in last week's 33-10 win over Kentucky. Franklin sprained his MCL in the Oct. 6 loss to Vanderbilt. 

TE Chris Gragg, Arkansas, (knee)

Next game: vs. Tulsa, Saturday, 12:21 p.m. ET (SEC Network)

Gragg aggravated a bone bruise in his knee in last week's 30-27 loss to Ole Miss and is out for Saturday’s game vs. Tulsa. The senior had missed the previous three games. Running back Knile Davis is also expected to miss Saturday’s game after injuring his hamstring last weekend. Dennis Johnson (489 rushing yards, six touchdowns) will get the bulk of the workload.

RB Rajion Neal, Tennessee, (ankle)

Next game: vs. Troy, Saturday, noon ET (FSN)

Tennessee's leading rusher (500 yards, five touchdowns) has missed the past two games with a bad ankle. Coach Derek Dooley listed him as "day-to-day" this week and said he could've played last week at South Carolina in an emergency situation. He'll officially be questionable, but it sounds like he might return in some capacity this week. Sophomore Marlin Lane has carried the load with Neal out.

RB Zac Stacy, Vanderbilt, (ankle)

Next game: at Kentucky, Saturday, noon ET (ESPNU)

Stacy, who is Vanderbilt's all-time leading rusher, left last week's win over UMass with an ankle injury. Coach James Franklin indicated that it's not a serious injury and that he expects him to be fine this week at Kentucky. Backup RB Wesley Tate had 15 carries for 81 yards with Stacy sitting out much of last week.

C David Andrews, Georgia (knee)

Next game: vs. Ole Miss, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS)

Andrews was held out of practice on Monday with a knee contusion, but he returned later in the week and is expected to play on Saturday. RG Chris Burnette will also play with a cast on his left hand, so the Bulldogs' OL might not be 100 percent, but everybody will be there.

Purdue DT Kawann Short injured his ankle last weekend against Minnesota but has improved this week and is probable for Saturday's game against Penn State. (US Presswire)

DT Kawann Short, Purdue, (ankle)

Next game: vs. Penn State, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPNU)

QB Denard Robinson, Michigan (elbow)

Next game: at Minnesota, noon ET (Big Ten Network)

Robinson's elbow flared up in the second quarter of last weekend's loss to Nebraska, but coach Brady Hoke said Robinson should be good to go against the Gophers. When backup QB Russell Bellomy came in, Michigan's offense sputtered to a halt, gaining just 52 yards in the second half. 

RB Mark Weisman, Iowa, (ankle)

Next game: at Indiana, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network)

Weisman is likely out for this weekend's game against the Hoosiers after being used sparingly last week vs. Northwestern. Backup Damon Bullock did rush for 107 yards in his first game back from a concussion. 

Big 12 Injury Report

LB Jake Knott, Iowa State, (shoulder)

Next game: vs. No. 12 Oklahoma, Saturday, noon ET (ABC)

Knott, a senior, is likely done at Iowa State after aggravating a previous shoulder injury two weeks ago against Oklahoma State and then playing again in the win over Baylor this past Saturday.

Knott had surgery on Monday and coach Paul Rhoads said there's an outside chance he could return for a potential bowl game. For more on the injury, check out our Eye on College Football blog. 

LB Tre Walker, Kansas State, (knee)

Next game: vs. No. 24 Oklahoma State, Saturday, 8 p.m. ET (ABC)

Walker, a starter and one of the leaders on the Wildcats team, has 19 tackles on the year.

RB Shawne Alston, West Virginia, (thigh)

Next game: vs. TCU, Saturday, 3 p.m. ET (FOX)

Alston has missed all five games since mid-September with what team officials are calling a deep thigh bruise. The Mountaineers have managed just 14 points in each of their past two games (both losses) and have averaged just 109 rushing yards per game. Alston tweeted that he would play, but his coach, Dana Holgorsen, said that wasn’t a given and it would depend on how he practiced.

QB Trevone Boykin, TCU, (undisclosed)

Next game: at West Virginia, Saturday, 3 p.m. ET (FOX)

Boykin limped off the field late in last Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma State but coach Gary Patterson said the redshirt freshman would start against the Mountaineers. Boykin didn’t play well against Oklahoma State, completing a season-low 52.5 percent of his throws (21 of 40 for 185 yards) for one touchdown and one interception. Defensive end Stansly Maponga, who has missed the last two games with a foot injury, is expected to play. He has 12 tackles and a forced fumble this year.

Big East Injury Report

DE Walter Stewart, Cincinnati, (back)

Next game: vs. Syracuse, noon ET (Big East Network)

Stewart had 17.5 sacks in 44 career games, including five sacks throughout the first six games this year. For more, check out our Eye on College Football blog.

RB Adonis Ameen-Moore, Syracuse, (lower body injury)

Next game: at Cincinnati, noon ET (Big East Network)

The Orange have two able-bodied backs in Prince-Tyson Gulley and Jerome Smith, but Moore is integral to Syracuse's tank offense, which is employed on the goal line. Moore isn't a definite scratch for Saturday at Cincinnati, but there are reports that indicate he will not play. He didn’t practice on Wednesday after missing last week's game against South Florida. The Orange will also likely be without defensive tackle Jay Bromley, who’s one of the best run-stoppers along the defensive line. He sustained a lower body injury in practice on Tuesday, and if he can’t go, it will snap a string of 20 consecutive starts for the junior.

DE Lorenzo Mauldin, Louisville, (knee)

Next game: vs. Temple, Saturday, noon ET (ABC)

Mauldin, who won Big East defensive player of the week honors two weeks ago, will be out after injuring his knee against Cincinnati last Saturday. Coach Charlie Strong said it was just a sprain but Mauldin’s loss is significant, given that he’s the Cardinals’ best pass-rusher. The sophomore has 4.5 sacks this season.

LB Sio Moore, Connecticut, (neck)

Next game: at South Florida, Saturday, 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU)

Moore, the Huskies’ fourth-leading tackler (53), left UConn's game against Syracuse two weeks ago with a neck injury, but coach Paul Pasqualoni expects the senior to play Saturday against South Florida. The Bulls average 181 rushing yards per game, the 43rd most in the country.

RB Lindsey Lamar, South Florida, (clavicle)

Next game: vs. Connecticut, Saturday, 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU)

He has 475 rushing yards this season to go along with three rushing and three receiving touchdowns.

QB Caleb Rowe, Maryland, (knee)

Next game: vs. Georgia Tech, Saturday, 12:30 p.m. ET (ESPN3)

Rowe, a true freshman, is the fourth Terrapins QB out for the season after he tore his ACL in last Saturday’s loss to Boston College. It was Rowe’s first collegiate start. Coach Randy Edsall is now down to his fifth-string QB, who’s not a QB at all, but rather a converted linebacker. Shawn Petty, a true freshman, will start under center for Maryland.

RB Eduardo Clements, Miami, (undisclosed)

Next game: vs. Virginia Tech, Thursday, 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)

LB Kiko Alonso, Oregon, (wrist)

Next game: at No. 17 USC, Saturday, 7 p.m. ET (FOX)

Alonso missed last weekend's 70-14 rout over Colorado but has practiced this week and it appears as if he will play vs. the Trojans.

Together the duo has 75 tackles on the year.

OT Aundrey Walker, USC, (neck)

Next game: vs. No. 4 Oregon, Saturday, 7 p.m. ET (FOX)
