Shane Beamer spoke to media members on Sunday evening. He discussed the injury situation after South Carolina’s Week 1 win over Georgia State.
Offensive lineman Jakai Moore left Saturday’s game. Beamer said Moore could have returned on Saturday but is questionable for Week 2 against Arkansas. Moore’s injury may be worse than initially thought.
Safety R.J. Roderick is also currently described as questionable. The team will know more about Roderick on Monday. Roderick is a 5th-year player and multi-year starter. Last season, Roderick accounted for 64 tackles and 2 forced fumbles.
Running back Christian Beal-Smith missed the Week 1 contest. Beamer indicated Beal-Smith, a 6th-year grad transfer from Wake Forest, could return in Week 2.
Beamer’s squad travels to Arkansas for a noon ET kickoff on Saturday.
Beamer on injuries: Jakai Moore could have returned last night, but he may have a more significant injury than first thought. He’s questionable this week.
R.J. Roderick is questionable this week. They’ll know more tomorrow.
Hopefully Christian Beal-Smith can be back Saturday.
