Indiana won’t rush wide receiver Donaven McCulley back vs. Western Illinois on Friday evening.
The 6-foot-5 wideout left IU’s week one game against FIU with a head or neck area injury, and he’s listed as out by Indiana for week two in the Big Ten mandated availability report.
Here’s the full list of IU’s questionable and out players for week two:
QUESTIONABLE
- CB JoJo Johnson
OUT
- WR Donaven McCulley
- WR E.J. Williams
- TE Brody Kosin
- DB Jah Jah Boyd
Earlier in the week, head coach Curt Cignetti indicated McCulley was “day-to-day,” seemingly signaling he’ll have a good chance to play in week three when the Hoosiers travel to UCLA.
Williams dealt with injuries throughout fall camp, and Kosin and Boyd are true freshmen and not expected to have meaningful roles this season beyond perhaps special teams.
Johnson has progressed from out last week to the questionable tag.
Before week one, IU announced via the report that Nick Kidwell, Vince Fiacable, Andrew DePaepe and Josh Philostin are out for the season.
