Duke Football Injury Report For Miami
The Duke Football team has been banged up of late, as all teams are this late in the season. The defensive side of the ball has been especially hurt up and though they’ve been playing extremely well lately, a healthier D will be able to keep teams at bay even better than they have.
None of the defensive ends are on the injury report this week, which should help Duke contain Miami QB Jacory Harris as he’s always a threat to run. Both Justin Foxx and Jordan Dewalt-Ondijo have spent time on the list in the past and with Kenny Anunike out for the year, those guys being healthy is integral to Duke being able to pressure the quarterback.
Johnny Williams has been hurt for a few weeks but last week’s play by Jordan Byas makes me feel a little better about Johnny being out. The move from special teams went better than anyone could have thought for the redshirt junior. Only Matt Daniels was delivering more punishing blows last week.

DE Kenny Anunike Out For Year
The Duke Football program may have gained a win on Saturday, but they lost their best defensive player at putting pressure on the quarterback. Redshirt Junior Kenny Anunike, who was leading the ACC in sacks at the time, and tied for third in the nation with 4, tore ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee while making an open field tackle.
Kenny, a converted tight end, who was just beginning to come into his own on the defensive side of the ball, will likely be out for an entire calendar year, possibly more. If it comes to it, he may be eligible for an extra year of playing time as he redshirted his freshman year while recovering from knee surgery. He had another operation this past offseason that caused him to miss contact drills this spring.
For Anunike, it is another terrible blow to what looked to be a bright future. Hopefully, he can recover and get back on the field but if not, he is a very strong student, majoring in biological anthropology & anatomy.
Duke Football Injury Report for Tulane
According to The Chronicle, the Duke Football Injury Report is the longest it’s ever been this season.
CB Tony Foster (foot) – Probable
CB Ross Cockrell (leg) – Questionable
K Will Snyderwine (foot) – Questionable
WR Tyree Watkins (leg) – Questionable
QB Brandon Connette (upper body) – Out
LB Britton Grier (illness) – Out
C Brian Moore (arm) – Out
RB Desmond Scott (leg) – Out
RB Josh Snead (foot) – Out
TE Jack Farrell (leg) – Out for Season
I’m a little surprised that Josh Snead is still out honestly. From what I had heard in the past, Duke expected him to be ready for this game. Juwan Thompson has been running well in his absence though, racking up 54 yards on 10 carries vs BC and 43 yards on 9 carries against Stanford. Tulane is giving up 223.5 yards a game on the ground, so it’s possible the coaching staff wants to rest Josh and Desmond one more game before the Blue Devils head out on the road for the first time this season. Brian Moore and Brandon Connette are still out. Hopefully, Brian can come back and strengthen the O-Line soon. Anthony Boone has played well in Brandon’s absence.
If Ross Cockrell and Tony Foster are unable to go, it will make the Duke secondary play more snaps than I’m sure they’d like. We’ll see if they’re able to go on Saturday.
