Shafer expects Reddish to play against North Carolina State
Syracuse lost cornerback Keon Lyn for the season on Monday. On Tuesday, the Orange got a cornerback back.
Brandon Reddish is healthy and expected to play against North Carolina State on Saturday, SU head coach Scott Shafer said during his weekly teleconference on Tuesday. Reddish missed the second half against Tulane on Sept. 21, and all of the Clemson game this past Saturday with a lower-body injury.
“Brandon Reddish is healthy and ready to go,” Shafer said.
With his return, Reddish will join Ri’Shard Anderson as the Orange’s second starting cornerback against the Wolfpack. Julian Whigham, who became the first player to intercept Tajh Boyd this season, becomes the third-stringer with Wayne Morgan sliding from safety to play corner full time in Lyn’s absence.
“I think it’ll be a good lesson for Wayne,” Shafer said.
The head coach said that aside from Reddish, there were no other injury updates as of Tuesday and that Kyle Knapp practiced all of last week. The offensive lineman has yet to play this season.
