Fortunately for the Buffaloes, there’s not much to report in terms of injuries (knock on wood) going into Minnesota week.
Tailback Jarek Broussard left the Texas A&M game after suffering a fairly big hit to his lower body in the third quarter. On Tuesday, Karl Dorrell said Broussard was “fine” and a participant in practice. Defensive end Terrance Lang, who limped off the field in the second half of the Texas A&M game with an apparent lower leg injury, is also back practicing.

Saftey Chris Miller missed the entirety of Saturday’s game but just like Lang and Broussard, returned to practice. Dorrell said his two defensive assets are dealing with soft tissue injuries and he expects them to be available against Minnesota.
“(Lang) is a little knicked up, but we expect he’s going to be ready to go,” Dorrell said. “Chris, he had a little bit of a soft tissue injury. In his position, he needs to be able to run fast so it’s hard for him to play in a game like that when he’s not full speed, but he made a lot of progress this week. He practiced today so we expect him to be back and ready this week.”
