STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Earlier this season Penn State endured a rash of injuries to his its linebacker corps. Now, coach James Franklin hopes it can do the same down a handful of offensive linemen.The No. 9 Nittany Lions (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten) will have to continue their chase for the Big Ten East title without their top three tackles as Franklin announced Tuesday Paris Palmer will miss the remainder of the season with an unspecified injury.Already without starters Andrew Nelson and Brendan Mahon, Franklin is questioning whether to burn redshirts for vaunted recruits Will Fries and Michal Menet or move players from positions where theyve helped pave the way for the Big Tens leading rusher, Saquon Barkley, and one of the countrys most explosive offenses.We are not, at this point, doing anything, Franklin said. But the way this thing is playing out, you never know. We want to be prepared for it. So those guys will be up with varsity and get a bunch of reps.Compounding the problem is uncertainty surrounding Connor McGoverns status. The freshman has excelled as the teams starting right guard during its six-game win streak but also left the Indiana game with an unspecified injury.As a result, the Nittany Lions struggled for the first time since Week 4 to establish a running game and quarterback Trace McSorley was under more pressure than usual. Barkley was hit behind the line or dropped for no gain on 15 of his 33 carries and Penn State finished with 77 rushing yards on 45 carries.Barkley is already 18 carries over where he finished last season with and Franklin said the team is monitoring his snap counts to keep him as fresh as possible.Its also hard to take a guy off the field that has a chance to break a play at any minute, Franklin said.But Barkleys ability to cut off of outside blocks was clearly hampered against Indiana. Chasz Wright started his first game at right tackle and was beaten on a number of those tackles for loss. He also gave up two pressures that resulted in two of three sacks of McSorley, who was hurried to throw two interceptions and took a number of hard shots after releasing the ball.The front five was further shaken up by Palmers exit as it forced Penn State to move starting freshman left guard Ryan Bates to tackle where hell practice this week, Franklin said.I think that we have the next-man-up mentality, tight end Mike Gesicki said. Weve shown it all season long. Whether it was earlier in the year with linebackers and now with the offensive line. Coach (Joe) Moorhead always tells the backups, `Youre one play away from being a starter. So those guys buy into their role.The chances the next man up will be a returning starter when Penn State travels to play Rutgers (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) on Saturday are unknown.Franklin said its too early in the week to know McGoverns status or if hell responded well enough to treatments to play. Mahon suffered an apparent leg injury against Iowa and did not return to that game. The athletic department confirmed he was taken to the hospital last Tuesday and was in stable condition then. Franklin hasnt given specifics on Mahons condition in any of his last three meetings with reporters but did not rule out his return to the lineup.We have all week long to figure that out, Franklin said. Obviously, it also helps with it being an 8 p.m. night game on the front end.---More AP college football: https://collegefootball.ap.orgDavante Adams Super Bowl Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.

As a club we support the person and challenge the behaviour.Thankfully, there was not anyone seriously injured.Johnson was suspended for six weeks and dropped from the clubs leadership group in 2010 after being caught in possession of cocaine by police.The 209-game veteran won back his spot in the leadership group earlier this year, but that position is now on shaky ground.Johnson managed just four games last season before a serious knee and hamstring injury ended his campaign.Fremantles 2016 season was wracked by poor form, injuries, and rumours of player unrest.The coaching style of Ross Lyon was also put under the spotlight amidst the rumours of player discontent.
