Northwestern releases depth chart, injury report for Week 2 against Duke

Week 2 is here, Northwestern football fans.

The start to the 2017 season went perfectly well for the Wildcats, as the team got off to a 1-0 start after defeating a Big Ten foe in Purdue, 31-27. Next up is Duke.

Ahead of the game against the Blue Devils, Northwestern released its depth chart and injury report on Twitter:

By looking at the injury report, it appears as though the Wildcats will be a little thin on the defensive interior. If Duke starts running the ball down Northwestern’s throat, schematic changes will have to be made in-game.

Duke started the season like Northwestern — with a win. The two will meet for a noon kickoff on Saturday at Northwestern. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
