WVU RB Tye Edwards Ruled Out on Injury Report for UCF Game

To no surprise based on the news from earlier in the week, WVU running back Tye Edwards has been officially ruled out for this Saturday’s game.

On Monday, Rodriguez revealed that Edwards, who returned in a very limited role at BYU after missing back-to-back games, is in Alabama seeing a specialist. He’s there because he’s trying to everything possible to get back to anything close to 100%.

Edwards became a WVU hero on Sept. 13, gashing Pitt for 141 yards and scoring three touchdowns in West Virginia’s comeback win. He then missed both the Kansas and Utah game before running for just two yards on two attempts against the Cougars.

Full Injury Report for Saturday:

Out: QB Nicco Marchiol, QB Jaylen Henderson, RN Jahiem White, RB Tye Edwards, WR Jaden Bray, WR Jordan McCants, OL Cooper Young, LB Ashton Woods, S Julien Horton

Doubtful: DL Hammond Russell IV

Probable: S Fred Perry

With the Mountaineers as a touchdown underdog, WVU and UCF are set to battle at FBC Mortgage Stadium at 1 pm ET.
