Minnesota Golden Gophers injury report
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are dealing with a few injuries to key players expected to make significant strides for the team. Let's take a look at some of those players and what their status is.
Quentin Redding, WR
Junior wide receiver Quentin Redding will not be on the field for the remainder of the season, as he suffered an undisclosed season-ending injury. He was the team's punt returner and had some action before suffering the injury, as he had two punt returns for five yards and a 14-yard kickoff return.
Maverick Baranowski, LB
Linebacker Maverick Baranowski is dealing with a shoulder injury, which will be a major issue for coach P.J. Fleck and Minnesota. Baranowski is a starting linebacker and is now second in the program with 36 tackles, 0.5 sacks and a pass deflection on the year.
He is officially listed as questionable for this Week 7 game but missed last week's game due to the injury.
