Pokes Thin at LB After Edison-McGruder Hurt and Bundage Ejected

Kenneth Edison-McGruder did not make the trip to Mobile, Alabama on Friday night against South Alabama because of an undisclosed injury which he incurred on Wednesday in practice. According to John Helsley, he could be out 2-3 weeks. That’s not great.

Big call coming up for the Cowboys. If Bundage ejected, he'll miss the first half next week. Edison-McGruder already out, as much as 2-3 wks

To make matters worse, Kevin Henry (who backs up Justin Phillips) also did not make the trip to Mobile.

Cowboys down two good ones at LB as Kenneth Edison-McGruder (star)&Kevin Henry (weak) didn't make the trip w/ injuries. #1 and #11 step up.

And to make matters even worse, Calvin Bundage was ejected from the South Alabama game after being flagged for targeting. He will miss the first half of the Pittsburgh game next week, and it appears as if OSU will be without its two Star linebackers. Kirk Tucker has stepped in on Friday and will likely do so again next week.
