On David Sanders Jr.'s physical and mental state after missing the first three weeks

"Mentally, I think anytime anybody in this game gets injured and isn't cleared to play, it's a tough battle mentally. You grow, you compete, you strain to get yourself prepared to go play, and he has certainly done that. Unique, unique injury that doctors are uncertain. That's why he's kind of been day-to-day here for a while and uncertain – it's not like a sprained ankle, and I say that meaning there's not a definitive timeline, so he's been having to fight through that. The guy wants to be out there. It hurts him badly. Our football team, the guys in his position room can see that, but he's been a good teammate too. I think as a young guy, staying the course through something that's a little bit unknown is hard. He's done a good job with it, just have to continue to do that and hopefully our doctors clear him here, at some point relatively quickly."

On having no timeline on David Sanders Jr.'s injury

"It is, and that's why it's been day-to-day. He's not in control of it. Our medical staff is doing everything that they can. It's a little bit of an unknown timeframe. He could wake up tomorrow and be ready to go. Obviously, he's had some time, some healing, and we hope that happens before we get to Saturday."

On who makes the decision for David Sanders Jr. not to play

"Our medical staff always handles it. Guys are OK to play in this game. After day one in pads, nobody's feeling a hundred percent, right, but it always goes through our medical staff, and they handle those decisions."

He will not play a snap until he had contact in practice. They hasn’t happened yet. But you are correct that the injury is day to day. A pinched nerve is painful and can cause much weakness in the muscle, which is the case with Sanders.

He must got hurt late Friday night before the Syracuse game or even early that Saturday morning game day … because everyone seemed shocked he was a no go
For the first game

hurt at the Wednesday practice prior to Syracuse but it was not announced until Saturday. There were articles on 8/30 where it was reported.
