A couple of bits of news from Coach Cut's Sunday teleconference.
-- Sophomore CB T.J. Douglas, who as been on suspension for the first four games this season, had been dismissed from the Duke football program. No reason or explanation given and Cut would not comment on the news.
-- Sophomore wide receiver Terrence Als, who has also been on suspension, remains on the team, but remains on indefinite suspension. He won't play against Boston College.
-- Good news on the injury front. The x-rays of Casey Blaser's foot revealed no break. That doesn't mean he'll definitely be back for the BC game, but a broken toe (which was feared) would have been a season-ending injury. We'll have to wait until Thursday to find his status for the BC game, but even if he does miss this one, he's likely to be back soon.
-- Also good news, no after-effects for Jela Duncan after his first game back after missing the first three with a torn pectoral muscle (and all of last year) with a suspension. He had four carries for 23 yards against GTECH, plus a pass reception for five yards. Cut said he should be in line for even more action this week.
-- Sophomore RB Joe Ajiegbe, who also missed three games with a preseason injury, also returned to action against GTECH, playing on special teams. Cut said he had a key block on Devon Edwards' 100 yard kickoff return. Cut also said that he's likely to get some carries at tailback this week.
-- No big changes with WR Johnel Barnes missing the first half of the BC game due to suspension after his later targeting penalty against GTECH. Chris Taylor and T.J,. Rahming who had been sharing one wide out spot, will probably both start. Cut said getting a freshman Barnes back for the second half will be a plus.
