WVU HC Neal Brown Gives Injury Updates on Greene, White, Others

WVU HC Neal Brown provided injury updates for many Mountaineers during his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon. West Virginia has lost back-to-back home games and looks to bounce back on the road vs. Arizona this weekend.

Here are the quick rundowns Brown provided for the Arizona game.

Wyatt Milum – OL: “Too early to tell.”

Garrett Greene – QB: “Too early to tell.”

Jahiem White – RB: “Feel good about.”

Jaden Bray – WR: OUT

Aubrey Burks – Spear: OUT

Ayden Garnes – CB: “Hopeful.”

After the Kansas State loss, Brown made it known that his team was “severely banged up“.

“It’s a rash of head injuries, four of them in total. I didn’t talk to (Assistant Athletics Director/Head Athletic Trainer) Vince (Blankenship), our athletic trainer, because he was so busy after the game. I try to talk to him usually before I come up here but he was tied up, but four of them at least,” said Brown about the injuries after the game.

Backup quarterback Nicco Marchiol took over for Greene in the second half, completing 6-of-13 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. He attempted nine carries, resulting in zero yards on the ground. Marchiol confirmed he learned Greene was out shortly before going out to the field for the second half.

With White out, CJ Donaldson finished the game with 34 yards on 12 rushes.
