As the Auburn Tigers head into fall camp this week, head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] provided an injury report just before his team hit the practice field on Thursday.
Two key transfers were questionable heading into camp, but Freeze says that both [autotag]Brian Battie[/autotag] and [autotag]Jyaire Shorter[/autotag] will battle through their injury in an effort to compete during the three-week period.
Battie had surgery following A-Day to repair a broken bone in his right foot. Recovery time was expected to be eight weeks, but he is ahead of schedule Freeze says.
“Battie is limited but will practice from his, he had the procedure done on his foot,” Freeze said Thursday. “Shoot, I think that’s it. I think we’re blessed. There may be a few more that are somewhat limited, but I think everybody will be out there today.”
Shorter, a wide receiver from North Texas, has had a history of injury as well. Last season, he underwent surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot. He also missed time during the 2020 season due to a broken ankle. Freeze tells the media that Shorter is being monitored, but is clear to practice.
Auburn football will continue fall camp through Saturday, Aug. 19. The 2023 season will begin Saturday, Sept. 2 against UMass at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
