Cornerback Jeremiah Johnson attempts to tackle an Ohio State receiver during the Terps’ loss to the Buckeyes on Oct. 4, 2014.
The Terrapins football team will head to Beaver Stadium Saturday to take on Penn State looking to rebound from a 52-7 loss at Wisconsin last weekend. Kickoff is set for noon in State College, Pennsylvania. In the meantime, here’s a look at the Terps’ injury report.
– Outside linebacker Matt Robinson will miss his second straight game after re-aggravating a shoulder injury against Iowa two weeks ago. Redshirt freshman Jalen Brooks will start in his place. Senior Alex Twine will back up Brooks.
– Cornerback Jeremiah Johnson will sit with a hamstring injury but may be available in an emergency situation. Safety Sean Davis will move to corner and start in Johnson’s place. Backup safety Zach Dancel, who missed the past three games, will replace Davis at safety.
– Running back Albert Reid is out for the fifth straight game with a lower body injury.
– Nose tackle David Shaw (knee) will return to the field Saturday after missing two games. He’ll back up Darius Kilgo.
– Long snapper Christian Carpenter (back) will miss his fourth straight game. Freshman Nate Adams is still his replacement.
– Backup quarterback Caleb Rowe and cornerback Daniel Ezeagwu both underwent successful surgeries. Cornerback Alvin Hill, who is out for the season because of a knee injury, will have a second surgery in two to three weeks to repair a labrum in his shoulder.
