McManis on Northwestern's injury report

Hey CatsLand,

Senior cornerback Sherrick McManis, regarded as an all-Big Ten candidate, is listed as doubtful for Saturday's home game against Eastern Michigan (11 a.m., Big Ten Network) with a leg injury.

For parts of fall camp, in a manner similar to senior defensive end Corey Wootton, McManis took it easy to accommodate a healing injury. It's not known if this continues the trend, or if "Batman" tweaked something during last week's opener against Towson.

If McManis can't make his 31st consecutive start, then look for junior Justan Vaughn to handle his corner. He started the first two games last year before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Vaughn celebrated his return to the field last week with an interception.

The rest of the report:
RB Jeravin Matthews--doubtful after injuring his left ankle against Towson.
RB Alex Daniel--out for the year with an ankle injury
DT Adam Hahn--out for the second week with a foot injury.
LB David Arnold--out for the second week with a leg injury.
