Injured Indiana WR dressed ahead of game against Maryland
Published:
Indiana football wasn’t sure if D.J. Matthews Jr. was going to be able to play against Maryland. Matthews missed the Michigan game in Week 6 due to a hamstring injury.
Indy Star’s Dustin Dopirak stated that Matthews was dressed for the game. Nothing is confirmed yet, but it’s still a good sign for the Hoosiers. Matthews was listed as a game-time decision heading into the game by HC Tom Allen.
Matthews has 198 yards receiving with 2 touchdowns on the season so far. Matthews last played against Cincinnati and has appeared in four games for Indiana in 2022.
… There he is. D.J. Matthews is dressed out. Doesn’t guarantee that he plays, but he’s at least in pads at this point in warm ups.

His first season as a Hoosier was in 2021. Matthews joined the program as a transfer after spending his first few seasons at Florida State.
Indiana is 3-3 and has lost three in a row including two B1G games to Michigan and Nebraska.
We’ll see if the team decides to give out an update on Matthews closer to kickoff. Maryland-Indiana kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
