Defensive lineman Tony Cumberland, who was involved in a car accident earlier this year, is also expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Wide receiver Dillon Gresham, who suffered a neck injury during fall camp a year ago, has yet to return to the field. Left guard Trent Ferguson suffered a knee injury during the game against Oklahoma State and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
