James Franklin spoke about some injuries that are plaguing Penn State after Wednesday’s practice. The offensive line and tight ends have some injury problems right now.

Olu Fashanu, Landon Tengwall, and Keyvone Lee were the players who missed practice. Franklin noted that the offensive line is injured at the moment.

“Obviously we’ve got some bumps and bruises across the offensive line,” Franklin said.

Tengwall was most likely going to be Fashanu’s replacement at tackle. However, if Tengwall isn’t able to play against Indiana that makes things a lot more complicated.

There was no update available for either Fashanu or Tengwall. This should be good news since Franklin probably would have made an announcement if the injury was severe enough.

Franklin also spoke about TE Jerry Cross. Cross suffered an injury this summer and Franklin is hoping to get him some more reps towards the end of the season. Cross was a 4-star recruit from the 2022 class.

Stay tuned for any more updates on Penn State’s injuries.
