What happened to Jelani Jordan?

Just printed off the Media Notes for this week's game and was going over the new depth chart. Carswell is back in at FS, Perry has moved from FS to SS, and Keon is over at CB. Jordan started last week and now isn't even listed at any of the DB positions. Was he that bad or did he get hurt?

He's hurt. Gregg Brandon said on the radio show last night that he wouldn't play. He didn't mention what the injury was. He said Jelani played well. I don't remember noticing him on Saturday. That's one of the best things to say about a CB.

It's always nice to notice an interception, forced fumble, or a big hit that I hope to see our DBs doing plenty of this season.

I think I saw him clutching is arm to his ribs after one play on the sidelines. Could be that he hurt his ribs or his arm.

I thought it was an ankle or a knee, but maybe I'm confusing him with another player. I thought he limped off a time or two???

Jelani is injured and anytime any player is injured, that's a problem. As far as play making ability, Jelani did make some nice plays last year and with experiance, I expect he will make more this year. I remember that nice interception he had at Miami. He's a starter for a reason and teams are stronger when all the the players are injury free. We need all of our troup to be healthy when we travel into that hostile environment down at NIU.

Get well Jelani

and Go BG!!!

Flipper is correct. In Coach Brandon's press conference, he stated that Jelani Jordan will miss the game because of a rib injury. Brandon said Jordan suffered some internal bleeding, but he expects Jelani to be back for NIU. Consequently, Keon Newson will play cornerback, with Deaudre Perry and T.J. Carswell starting at the safeties.
