Only other info I saw is below. There was also a tweet from a beat writer that another starting DL could miss the game, but the injury isn't serious (Alex Keith).
The Gophers had three defensive linemen who suffered leg injuries in Thursday’s 42-20 opening win against Eastern Illinois, but defensive tackle Scott Ekpe’s injury “doesn’t look real good,” Minnesota coach Jerry Kill said on the radio Sunday.
Ekpe, who left the game in the first quarter and didn’t return after an ugly pile up, could have a season-ending knee injury. But Kill wasn’t specific about the situation Sunday.
“Unfortunately, we got three defensive linemen that got hurt,” Kill said on the Sports Huddle show on WCC0-830 Sunday morning. “It doesn’t look good for at least one of them (Ekpe). So, we’ll just have to see next week. Hard to replace defensive linemen. You never have enough depth, so that’s definitely a concern. We’re addressing it as we speak. We’ll see what we can do.”
Starting junior defensive end Alex Keith and sophomore defensive tackle Yoshoub Timms also suffered leg injuries against Eastern Illinois. Junior Robert Ndondo-Lay rotated at defensive tackle and defensive end on Thursday to help fill the void.
Kill said Friday to expect true freshmen defensive linemen Steven Richardson, Andrew Stelter and Gaelin Elmore to get more playing time because of depth issues after injuries. Senior defensive end Michael Amaefula, who started 26 straight games the last two seasons, will also make his season debut Saturday against Middle Tennessee after sitting out the opener.
More touches for Edwards: On Sunday, Kill said redshirt freshman tailback Berkley Edwards got 13 touches in his debut Thursday, but he should get more. Edwards had 62 total yards against Eastern Illinois, including 60 yards rushing and two touchdowns on four carries.
