Scott Satterfield Provides Update on UC Football Injuries and Redshirts as Team Prepares for Final Stretch
The Cincinnati Bearcats are entering the second half of the 2024 season relatively healthy, with no significant injuries arising. Head coach Scott Satterfield shared the latest updates on Tuesday, noting that defensive tackle Cam Roetherford is working to return, along with wide receiver Tyrin Smith (hamstring), who is also nearing a comeback.
Roetherford missed last week’s victory over UCF due to an injury sustained before the bye week against Texas Tech. He is currently ranked as the defense’s 10th-highest graded player according to PFF. Smith has been sidelined since his injury against Houston.
“Tyrin is still out. He’s had a hamstring injury he’s been dealing with for some time now,” Satterfield said about Smith, with no update on Roetherford. “We’ll see if we can get him healthy this week, we’re still kind of waiting to see him with him.”
Satterfield also confirmed the program is looking to redshirt wide receiver Aaron Turner and running back Chance Williams with them logging just 82 and 42 snaps this season.
“We’re looking at trying to redshirt AT (Aaron Turner), if we can, early in the season,” Satterfield confirmed. “Was not playing as many snaps and I look at it the same way I look at it like for Chance (Williams), you’re not playing a lot of snaps, and you have a redshirt, and let’s try to get your redshirt here.
But he’s been out practice and done a great job for us at practice. Chance as well. We took Chance on this trip this past week. We give out a juice mob for the game, meaning who’s on the sideline, giving the most energy. Chance did an outstanding standing job this weekend, cheering his guys on and getting us going.
Cincinnati is facing another closely projected matchup this weekend against Arizona State. According to ESPN’s FPI, the Bearcats have a 61.8% chance of victory
