Louisville vs SMU: Injury Report

Saturday afternoon in the highly anticipated matchup between No. 23 Louisville and No. 16 SMU, the Cardinals will be without eight players. The ACC released their weekly injury report on Thursday night and there is some good news for Louisville fans.

First, the guys that are listed as OUT.

TE #44 Travis Egan

P #48 Jacob Barker

OL #52 Max Merz

OT #63 Bryten Close

OL #72 Sam Secrest

OL #75 Cameron Gorin

WR #84 Payton Cook

DL #98 Sam Dawson

Of note, Cameron Gorin was seeing significant playing time in the Villanova game due to an injury to Cason Henry. Gorin being out is not great for depth, however the starting five on the offensive line played every snap of the season opener against Ole Miss.

One Cardinal is listed as QUESTIONABLE.

DL #2 Demeco Kennedy

Of note, Coach Brohm had said Kennedy would be out 2-4 weeks. Kennedy would be a welcome early arrival back from the injury list for the defensive front.

Those listed as PROBABLE.

RB #1 Isaac Brown

DB #28 Santana Wilson

OL #70 Anwar O’Neal

OL #71 Cason Henry

WR #82 Montavin Quisenberry

Great news on Anwar O’Neal as he is a projected starter who has missed the first few weeks. O’Neal transferred in from Delaware this spring, where he started 11 games for the Blue Hens last season. Same on Cason Henry, who will be the tackle opposite of O’Neal if they both play. If both are healthy and play Saturday, it would also allow OL Lance Robinson to bounce back into an interior defensive line role.

Isaac Brown should be good to go for Saturday, but big news for the running back room that Keyjuan Brown is not on the injury list at all. Keyjuan Brown played early in the Villanova game last Friday but was pulled from the game early after he absorbed a hard hit.

Montavin Quisenberry, a transfer from Kentucky, was thought to be out for most of the season. Certainly a welcome sign for Coach Deion Branch and the wide receiver room.

Another factor to keep in mind for the matchup Saturday is the heat. The temperature is…
