Eli Drinkwitz announced his injury report at Tuesday’s press conference and noted that only 1 player is out this week against Vanderbilt: WR Mekhi Miller.
Drinkwitz said WR Luther Burden, QB Brady Cook and DE Darius Robinson are all questionable. Drinkwitz said Cook and Burden would be limited at practice on Tuesday. Burden on Saturday against Memphis left the game with cramping and received an IV in the locker room.
On Saturday, Drinkwitz said Robinson had a strained calf and it gave out on him in the first quarter. The coach also said that the decision to rest him for a week or so would be discussed.
On Cook, who is dealing with a knee injury, Drinkwitz said, “There was no way in my mind I thought Monday or Tuesday he was playing in that game.”
The coach added that could barely walk early last week and that Cook basically lived in the facility to make sure he did everything he could to play last week.
