Senior wide receiver Christion Jones practiced, but was limited in drills during the media viewing period. Jones sustained a minor ankle injury during the team’s 41-0 win over Florida Atlantic. He is expected to play in the game against Southern Miss.
DeAndrew White was also limited in the drills during the media viewing period. It was White’s second practice back after sustaining a shoulder injury in the season opener against West Virginia. White missed last week’s game against FAU.
Amari Cooper and Chris Black led the receivers as they caught passes from quarterbacks Blake Sims, Jake Coker and Alec Morris during the route running drills.
Offensive line battle still ongoing
Despite Alphonse Taylor starting against FAU on Saturday, the beginning of the media viewing period saw Leon Brown start at the right guard position. Halfway through the second media viewing period, Taylor replaced him and worked with the first-team offense.
Brown started in the first game against West Virginia, but was pulled in favor of Taylor after committing a series of penalties. The rest of the line saw Cam Robinson, Arie Kouandjio, Ryan Kelly and Austin Shepherd taking reps.
