NU injury update

Junior running back Stephen Simmons is free! From the injury report, at least.

After missing the last three games with an ankle, the Wildcats' top runner isn't listed on the school's weekly Thursday report. That means he should be able to share carries with freshman Arby Fields on Saturday against Miami (Ohio).

On the downside, strong-side linebacker Ben Johnson joins the list as "doubtful" with a leg injury. That might help to explain why sophomore David Arnold jumped over him on the depth chart this week.

The rest of the list:
OL Mike Boyle out with a back injury.
CB Justan Vaughn doubtful with a leg.
LB Bryce McNaul out with a leg.
DT Jack DiNardo out with a shoulder.
HC Wanny out with a knee.

Ha. Just checking to see if you're paying attention.
