Who Coastal Carolina will be without against Arkansas as Chants deal with injuries

The Chants are seven-plus weeks into a stretch of games in 10 consecutive weeks because their byes come in Weeks 2 and 13, and the consecutive games without a break may be contributing to the team dealing with its most injuries of the season.

In addition to quarterback Chance Thrasher still being out from a knee injury incurred in the fourth game of the season, seven other players either missed last week’s Texas State game or left it because of injuries.

CCU is thin at running back, though upperclassmen Marcus Outlow (hip) and Osharmar Abercrombie (ribs) may attempt to play this week at less than full strength. “Right now our plan is both of those guys will play,” Chadwell said. “How well I don’t know, but both of those guys will play.”

Senior tackle Rodney Mitchell (concussion) is out this week, junior guard Adam Lawhorn (knee) is questionable, senior defensive tackle Dwayne Price (concussion) is probable, redshirt freshman linebacker Silas Kelly (arm) is probable and redshirt freshman safety Amir Howard (hip) is probable.

“We’ll trot somebody out there. We’re banged up in certain areas but we’ve got guys who have been practicing and will go out there and do what we’ll ask them to do and try to contribute the way they can,” Chadwell said. “We have hit here lately a few more injuries than we had early on but that’s the grind of the season and not having an open date sort of in the middle like some other people had. But our guys that will step in there and will go out and do their best.”
