Another former CMU football player went down this week. The Green Bay Packers placed former Central Michigan defensive end Cullen Jenkins on injured reserve Tuesday. He apparently suffered a chest injury, possibly a torn pectoral muscle.
Prior to the season, former end Dan Bazuin was released by the Chicago Bears, ending his short tenure after having injury problems of his own. No one else has signed him yet.
For Jenkins, it was a sad sight to see, too, because he was playing extremely well to begin this season. He already tallied 18 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 10 quarterback pressures and a forced fumble.
While we're on the topic of injuries, though, I thought I'd update on former Ball State receiver Dante Love's situation (wow, that "former" had a very somber ring to it). Coach Brady Hoke said Love is "gushing" about the Cardinals' fifth win last weekend over Kent State, and is keeping up with the team despite staying in a rehabilitation center in Indianapolis.
As for the CMU football team, I haven't had a chance to talk to players after practice yet, so I don't have much of an update at this point. I'm hoping to find out more about receiver Bryan Anderson's progress and whether he'll be back for Temple next week. Keep posted, though!
