Stop #2: Injury Bug Bites Over and Over

The injury bug has taken down the starting safety and starting RB during Spring Football.

Plus, the overall RB position has been battered and bruised. The top returning RBs from last year, Chris Warren and Kyle Porter, are both out of the Spring Game with injuries.

But, at least incoming freshman star Toneil Carter is expected to play after dealing with his own injury.

On the defensive side, senior leader Jason Hall suffered a hamstring injury early in the spring. That has forced other players to step up in place of Hall (injury) and Dylan Haines (graduation) at the two safety spots.

So, who will impress at the Spring Game on Saturday and potentially win a starting role?
