Will Rogers, Woody Marks status revealed ahead of Auburn game

Will Rogers and Jo’Quavious “Woody” Marks have been battling injuries throughout this season, and their status for Saturday’s game against Auburn was revealed.

Rogers suffered a shoulder injury against Western Michigan, and despite the bye week missed last week’s game against Arkansas. Marks played last week, but was hobbled at times.

It was revealed as the Bulldogs came out for warmups that both Rogers, the QB, and Marks, the running back, would be out against Auburn.
