Injury Update

Mel Purcell may have a torn MCL or ACL, an MRI will determine which. Either way, he might be out for the rest of the season. As Jerry Glanville said:

"Only the good guys get hurt. You lose Peters and then you lose Mel. It's unbelievable."

Also injured are Dane Uperesa and Lono Manners:

Strong safety Lono Manners is struggling to play with several dislocated fingers. "He couldn't tackle," Glanville said. "His fingers are all so beat up. He couldn't tackle because he couldn't close his hands. We've got to do something with his hands."

Manners said: "I couldn't grab on to jerseys. I had to throw my body around to make tackles."

He said he will take painkillers to prepare for Saturday's game against New Mexico State.
