Is the O-line going to be healthy for the November push? Seen a few injuries on Saturday and haven't watched the presser yet. Does anyone have an knowledgeable information on this?

I know I am worried about this too..

Word is that Barnum and Kovacs are out for Iowa and possibly Illinois, Lewan is going to try to play, but he's on the edge.

In other injury news, according to mgoblog, Kovacs has been hurt since Tuesday, but it wasn't noticed because they had walk-on safety Matt Cavanaugh wear #32 in practice. Awesome

Looks like Kovacs might be back this week after all. just read an article on detnews.com which had a quote from RVB.
"I know he'll be back this week," said senior defensive lineman Ryan Van Bergen. "He was running around looking pretty good (on Sunday). The doctor said he wasn't going to play (against Purdue), but if you asked Jordan, he was going to play. We'll have him back."



If Kovacs comes back and starts, Who goes back to being a sub? Avery? Countess?

I think Countess is locked in at corner. Or at least he should be. The question is what to do with Woolfolk. I'm guessing they go with him and Kovacs at safety and have T. Gordon be the nickel guy

Hoke said Wolfolk is one of the best 11, 12, or 13 guys on Defense. Doesn't sound like he is a sure starter. I would imagine he will stay at safety unless it is absolutely need for him to play corner.
