Starting point is 00:00:00 The first KU football injury report is out as they are getting ready for the West Virginia game. We found out some injury news, some actually really good news for KU, including some guys we're going to touch on. Bryson Canty, Joseph Sip, Gage Keys, and more. So find out all about that news here on Locked on Jayhaw. You are Locked on Jayhawks, your daily podcast on the Kansas Jayhawks, part of the Locked On podcast network. your team every day what's going on derrick johnson here this is locked on jahawks thanks for making it your first listen every day thank you the every dayers catching each and every episode of the show we are free and available anywhere you get your podcast including on our youtube page

Starting point is 00:00:47 where you can like and subscribe to the show and on this bonus episode of locked on jhawks we have our first ever kansas football injury report they're doing these for the big 12 games and now we have an idea of who's probable who's questionable all these sort of things for the k u west version of game. So we wanted to break that down and certainly seems like some good injury news for once for KU football to start this season. I want to start with a guy, Bryson Canty, because Bryson Canty is somebody that I felt like can be an added boost, a game changer for this KU offense. And in fact, this initial injury report, you have players out, Dylan Brooks, Jamir Moore, Jack Schneider, David Abogian, Jason Strickland, Conley Hovey, questionable Colmondi, and the

Starting point is 00:01:27 Probables are Joseph Sip Jr., Dak Brinkley, Daniel Hyshaw, Logan Brantley, Darian Jones, Taylor Davis, and Jada Nickens. We're going to break all of those down throughout the show today, but you'll notice Bryson Canty is not on there. And the fact that he's not even, at least, improbable, I know he's been playing, but usually if you're playing, but you're playing through an injury, you wind up on the probable list. The fact that he's not even on there tells me that, okay, finally he is now fully healthy. He was hurt and fall camp. He wasn't around for Springball because he joined late. He wanted to get his degree from Columbia. don't blame him from an Ivy League school.

Starting point is 00:01:59 And so then you get an injury in Fall Camp and that puts you behind the eight ball. And he's been kind of playing very limited snaps in the first couple games. Now you have the buy week to get reacclimated and now you're fully healthy. And the reason I think this is such a big deal. First of all, I mean, we know Camp Pickett's been playing through some injury stuff. I guess the fact that he's not unproblem either is good news for how he's trending in the right direction. But we've yet to see all three of those really impact things at the same time with Henderson, Pickett, and Canty.

Starting point is 00:02:25 and they can all do different things. Henderson is your burner. Pickett is very good with the ball in his hands and maybe those shorter routes. And Canty is kind of your, I guess, intermediate player who can also get some deep ballwork. And when you look at what Canty excels at, like what he did, a lot of Columbia, he was really good on deep balls. He caught nine passes of 20 yards or more. And he also caught 16 passes between 10 to 20 yards. So in total, 25 passes were caught by Bryson Canty a season ago at Columbia.

Starting point is 00:02:55 of the oh gosh how many did he have for the season uh but you know you're talking about somebody who i mean that's a lot of catches for 10 plus yards down the field and as much as jalen daniels and with jim zabrowski and stuff and they have improved on that this season with the offense that is still an area where they can get even better and adding yet another threat to possibly add to that somebody in canty who at columbia had 43 catches for 760 yards and nine touchdowns last year was a two-time all ivy league player was all Ivy League first team a season ago. Keep in mind that's in like 10 games. He had over 1,700 career receiving yards right now throughout his collegiate careers with Columbia and Kansas. This is an impactful player that if you do add and you do want to read into,

Starting point is 00:03:38 okay, no, Cam Pickett is an injury to designation too. Could this be the best version of the KU receiving core that we see all season long? And it comes at a perfect time before you play West Virginia because guess what? West Virginia has got a really good run defense. I mean, they have a good overall defense. But if you're not able to run the ball similar to like you were in Missouri, you're going to need all the passing help that you can get. And certainly you have that with Bryson Canty, not on this list. I think the other big name that's on this list, but in the positive light is Joseph Sip, somebody else who's not on the list, which is good news, is Gage Keys. I want to break all those players down, as well as some of the West Virginia injuries. This is locked on

Starting point is 00:04:14 Jayhawks. in today's episode of LOJ is brought to you by Mazda you can just move through life or you can find the things that move you it's your choice you can choose to get out there choose your people you can choose to go for it like really go for it just choose to do something that moves you Mazda crafts cars for those who choose to do more than simply move Mazda move and be moved this episode is also brought to you by Door Dash.

Just like you can win every Saturday with DoorDash Streaks, saving more every time you order these players delivered when it mattered most. Let's break it down.

Starting point is 00:04:58 You know, normally I'd tell you about, oh, Deshaun Hanukah had this big game against Missouri, or Jalen Daniels did this, there's or that. KU was on a bye week. And as we've gone over the injury report today, looks pretty good for KU. So we're going to give for the Jayhawks this week, I think the team training room, the team trainers delivered in a big way. this week because the fact that the injury port looks as good as it does right now, credit to the trainers, man. I mean, Bengali Kamara, who's playing through injury, he's not even listed on there. So that seems to be good news. And just like I guess the team trainers delivered for the Jayhawks during the by week, DoorDash delivers your Saturdays with DoorDash streaks, save every Saturday

All right, so we mentioned the receiver room because to me that is so important coming to this, but as much as the names on here are important, it's the names that aren't on here, right?

Starting point is 00:06:04 The guys who are playing through injury. And like we said, with Bengali Camarra, with Cam Pickett, that is great news. Now, I guess there is a world where they don't want to be fully like, maybe from Lance Lightbold's perspective, like he's viewing probable as players who haven't played or haven't been playing because of injury. But I guess that doesn't make sense with Daniel Hyshaw, right?

Starting point is 00:06:25 I mean, and maybe that's a little concerning. As KU tries to get their running game together, is it a little concerning that Hyshaw is probable and has some sort of injury that he is dealing with. But the fact that Hyshaw has been playing and has now listed probable does at least tell me the idea that, okay, if Bengali, like, doesn't that tell you Bengali Kamara's,

Starting point is 00:06:44 feeling a lot better if he's not even listed as probable if he's just off this list it certainly does to me and obviously that's great news with gauge keys we haven't seen him yet this season he adds another bit of juice and pass rush to what's already a good defensive tackle room for k u football so that's a big deal that he's not on this list and sounds like he'll be making his debut uh this week against west virginia but that's huge that joseph sip junior is listed as probable i mean there was in the off season it was like who's going to start sip or tray laython and with how good tray lathen has been, what does that mean KU's going to have with Joseph Sip? Does that mean KU's going to have like three really, really good linebackers here with Bengali, Kamara, Joseph Sip, and

Starting point is 00:07:23 Trey Lathen. Just having Sip back, allow Kamara and Lathen to be even better because they can be more rested for, you know, five, ten snaps throughout the course of a game or maybe it's more than that. I don't know. But that is huge news again against the team who's going to test linebackers with running sideline to sideline and using the quarterback run, using the running back run and everything. So that's a big boost for KU to get his debut for this game for Kansas. Dak Brinkley, obviously very talented youngster. He's flashed a few times early in the seasons.

Starting point is 00:07:50 That's nice that he's probable, like I mentioned with Highshaw, didn't know he was dealing with something. So maybe that explains some of the running issues. KU had last game out against Missouri, but also a little worrisome there. I would say with Taylor Davis, didn't know he had something too, but that's something where, you know, obviously he's going to be playing a lot of snaps. So you hope that that's not something that bothers him. And then with Jane and Nickens, the fact.

Starting point is 00:08:13 that he's listed as probable. I think that's a good sign because he hasn't been playing so far this season. So it sounds like he's getting over whatever injury that he had, although I don't know how much. I guess that just goes back in line with like the receiver core, kind of getting healthy here for KU. As far as the guys who are out, like those are guys who, you know, like Brooks has been out for a while here.

Starting point is 00:08:33 And a lot of those other guys are deep down on the depth chart. Cole Mondi's a former walk on who actually played really well in the first couple weeks of the season when he got in there. but you know there's nobody who is projected to be on the KU too deep who's listed on the questionable or out and all the guys for the most part I mean in the case of like SIP and I guess Nickens on the probable and then some guys that aren't listed that we mentioned like Gage Keys and Bengali Kumar the fact that they're not listed this seems to be great news for KU now I guess there'll be another injury report coming later this week like I think it's what

Starting point is 00:09:09 90 minutes before game time or something so we'll see you know what happens and obviously there can still be injuries in practice, like what happened with Bengali Kamara leading into the Wagner game. But yeah, great news for KU, getting ready for the Big 12 opener, that by week coming at a huge time for KU to get ready for the Mountaineers. Now, what about the Mountaineers? You know, for them, they're out, Sarjahim White, Jaden Bray. We knew those.

Starting point is 00:09:30 They're out for the season. Cannon Katzer, Julian Horton, Cooper Young. Their doubtfuls are Xavier Bossley and Jacob Barrick. And then the questionables, Preston, Fox, Chase Wilson, Marshaun Oxley, Probables Ty Edwards and Derek Carter Jr. Let's break that down. Are there any players that becomes notable that they are on the injury list for West Virginia? That next. Today's episode of Locked on Jayhawks bonus episode is brought to you by Monarch Money.

That was like after their second game of the year for them. As far as other players of note, on the offensive side of the ball, you know, I don't know that, I don't think

Starting point is 00:11:27 Cooper Young is logged in any snaps this year. Cannon Katzer, he hasn't either. So, you know, those are guys who, I don't know, maybe they were expected. Again, I'm not the, I don't know everybody on the two and the 3D for West Virginia, I just know, you know, these guys have not logged snaps. Same with Xavier Bosley. And then you look at Barrick. He is somebody who has logged 67 snaps so far this season has played in all three games. So you're looking at more of kind of a backup tight end. So the fact that he's doubtful, you know, maybe that hurts him a little bit there. He has a 72 run block grade on pro football focus. So, you know, that doesn't help West Virginia, but it's not the biggest loss in the world either. And then you look at the

Starting point is 00:12:04 questionables. And obviously those can go, you know, a bunch of choice. But Preston Fox, 51 snaps in three games. He's questionable, but certainly with Jayden Bray out, like you don't want to be missing more receivers, but again, wouldn't be necessarily a gigantic miss there. Now, the Ty Edwards one being probable is at least a little bit interesting because, again, I don't know if he was dealing with an injury before. I mean, those were his first rushing stats last week against Pitt. So maybe he was, and maybe that's why he wasn't playing as much. And then he goes off for like 140 yards against Pittsburgh. But if he is in the same way that Daniel Highshaw's

Starting point is 00:12:38 a little banged up like how does that affect you know the running game either way i'm not going to expect it to have a huge impact on him um again because it seemed like he was just fine against pit and had a huge game but it will be something certainly to monitor and then you look at the defensive side of the ball for west virginia like julian horton is somebody who he's only played three snaps this year so um that doesn't seem to be one and again it might have been for all i know he was a starter and then he got hurt after three snaps um the big one is going to be chase Wilson to kind of watch over here again he's in questionable so he could end up playing but he's played two games 96 snaps through the two games so that's a you know starters level snap load when he is playing

Starting point is 00:13:15 essentially in a 72 pff grade 74 run defense 70 in pass rush and a 71 tackling grade so chase wilson's been you know a solid linebacker for them when he's in and then marshawn oxley another linebacker um he's kind of like an outside linebacker i'm pretty sure but 33 snaps um you know kind of more limited there, but that one becomes a little bit interesting too. But so I would definitely say the one that is most interesting on there has to be probably Chase Wilson, but outside of that, it's kind of the season-long injuries. But I think overall for both teams, I mean, obviously the season-long injuries are bad for West Virginia, but we already knew that before this week was going to begin.

Starting point is 00:13:55 They knew it before last week against Pittsburgh. So from that perspective, seems like a pretty clean injury report for the most part for both teams, which is what you want to see. You want to see the best players on the field. as much as possible coming into a game week and excited about some of the players KU is going to be getting back, some of the players that seem to be more healthy now off the buy week for KU, and that can only be good news for the Jayhawks. All right, that'll do it for this episode of Lockdown Jayhawks.
