Week 11 Injury Report: Four Starters Listed as Questionable
Several players are listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's Week 11 games, according to the latest reports from around the National Gridiron League. Here is a look at the notable names, team by team.
A player listed as questionable has a real chance to play but is not certain. Teams typically make final decisions closer to kickoff, and the league's inactive lists are due before the games begin.
Columbus Ironclads
Cornerback Jace Barnes (No. 27) is listed as questionable. Barnes is the top cornerback on the Columbus depth chart, and his availability matters for a secondary that will face a passing attack in Albuquerque on Sunday. The Ironclads travel to face the Thunderbirds.
Coach Mick Sorensen said Barnes went through part of practice this week. "We will see how he feels," Sorensen said. "We will make the call on game day."
Louisville Thoroughbreds
Defensive lineman Blake Jennings (No. 93) is listed as questionable. Jennings is a regular part of the Louisville defensive line rotation. The Thoroughbreds visit the Omaha Plainsmen this weekend.
Louisville coach Dina Rourke said the team would be careful. "Blake is a tough guy, and he wants to play," Rourke said. "We will do what is best for him and for the team."
Richmond Admirals
Linebacker Grant Tatum (No. 44) is listed as questionable. Tatum is the top linebacker on the Richmond depth chart. The Admirals host Sacramento on Sunday.
Richmond coach Nadia Pearce said Tatum was a game-time decision. "He has been working hard to get back," Pearce said. "We will watch him in pregame and decide from there."
Hartford Sentinels
Cornerback Cole Hargrove (No. 24) is also listed as questionable. Hargrove is the top cornerback on the Hartford depth chart. The Sentinels host the Salt Lake Summit.
Hartford coach Pete Wanamaker said the team had a plan in place if Hargrove could not go. "We have depth in the secondary," Wanamaker said. "Whoever is on the field will be ready."
What the designation means
The NGL uses a few standard designations for injury reports. Players listed as out will not play. Players listed as doubtful are unlikely to play. Players listed as questionable have a meaningful chance to suit up, and teams use the label to leave their options open.
Because the designation can change before game day, fans should check team announcements on Sunday morning. Teams are required to submit their active rosters shortly before kickoff.
Other games on the slate
Week 11 also includes Austin at Portland and Oklahoma City at San Diego. Neither team in those matchups had questionable players on the reports reviewed for this article, though teams can update their lists at any time.
The full slate of Week 11 games is set for Sunday, November 16. This report will be updated if the league releases new information before kickoff.
Check back after the weekend for results and recaps from every game.
