Thursday notebook: O-line embraces physical approach
***Head coach Mike Riley announced that defensive tackle Mick Stoltenberg suffered a non-contact knee injury during practice this week and will undergo arthroscopic surgery, meaning he will be out for Saturday’s game vs Wyoming.
***Riley said Stoltenberg could be back as soon as next week’s gave vs. Oregon if all goes as planned.
***Carlos Davis will get the start in Stoltenberg’s place, and other defensive tackles like Khalil Davis, Logan Rath, and Peyton Newell will all move up in the rotation.
***Riley also announced that senior cornerback Charles Jackson has put football aside and is no longer practicing with the team. Jackson is still on scholarship and enrolled in classes, and he will finish up his degree and focus on taking care of his family. Riley said the move was Jackson’s decision.
***Riley said safety Antonio Reed has been fully cleared and will play on Saturday.
***Riley said De’Mornay Pierson-El will be the No. 1 punt returner vs. Wyoming, though how many returns he gets in the game will depend on how Wyoming punts to him.
***Riley said they will stick with the same rotation at left guard, with Sam Hahnstarting and Corey Whitaker as the top backup.
***Riley confirmed that offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh will be on the sideline for Saturday’s game.
