Looks like we lost our two starting wide receivers for the remainder of the year. Brandon Smith (ACL) and Dominic Gunn (Broken foot bone). Damn.

We do have some depth there. I look forward to what McDonald can do but this hurts.

The good news is John Eddy will finally be healthy enough to probably play. He's practicing this week.

Let's hope this isn't a trend and injuries stop now.
 
Damn that's definitely a blow to offense, but ya there is good depth there. Lets see how the younger guys step up.
 
Do these guys get a medical redshirt or is this season a complete loss for them?
 
Looks liek they would qualify:

Medical Hardship Waiver

If a student-athlete suffers a season-ending injury or illness after competing in a limited amount of competition during a particular academic year, he/she may qualify for a medical hardship waiver which would allow him/her an additional season of competition during the five-year period of eligibility. To qualify for a medical hardship:

(a) the student-athlete’s injury or illness must occur in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition or subsequent to the first day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior year in high school;

(b) the injury or illness must occur prior to the completion of the first half of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport and must result in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season; and

(c) the injury or illness must occur when the student-athlete has not participated in more than two contests/dates of competition or 20% of the institution’s scheduled contests/dates of competition in his/her sport (whichever number is greater).
 
Ya I would think they would, that may be one of the positives to come out of this. Plus those younger guys some major game experience.
