Personnel update

Chad Morris said Wednesday it looks like defensive end Randy Ramsey, and offensive linemen Colton Jackson and Shane Clenin are closer to participating Saturday than linebacker Dre Greenlaw and defensive end Dorian Gerald.

Greenlaw and Gerald are rehabbing from ankle injuries they suffered in the season opener that kept them out of last week’s 34-27 loss at Colorado State.

Ramsey (hamstring), Jackson (back) and Clenin (ankle) are all making strides that have them close to ready.

Greenlaw was dressed in a green (limited contact) jersey Wednesday, while Ramsey was not in sight during the first four periods after working in green Tuesday.

“Randy Ramsey worked out [Tuesday], and we anticipate him being able to play,” Morris said. “We’ll see how today goes. Dorian Gerald will be very questionable right now.

“Colton Jackson, we’re anticipating Colton to possibly get in there and play a few series and see how it goes. He got in [Tuesday] full speed and full contact and did a great job. Just trying to get his legs back underneath him. That’s the biggest challenge for Colton right now.”

Morris said Jackson did some scout team work Tuesday and that Greenlaw is day to day.

Senior defensive back Kevin Richardson is getting closer to returning after surgery to repair a broken foot in late July. Morris said he was doubtful Richardson would be ready this week.
