Rodney Gunn - Participating in warmups Gunn (ankle) is participating in pregame warmups, Zachary Weiss of Pittsburgh Sports Now reports.

Rodney Gunn - Potential high-ankle sprain Gunn appears to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain, according to Nick Lorensen of SB Nation.
Impact Gunn has not played in either of Duquesne's first two games, and depending on the stage he is at with his recovery, he should be considered questionable at best for Monday's matchup against Weber State. The Lenior-Rhyne transfer should eventually return to provide the Dukes with depth in the frontcourt.

Austin Rotroff - Sees time as reserve Rotroff (foot) contributed four points (2-2 FG, 0-2 FT) over six minutes during Saturday's 73-63 loss to Hofstra.
Impact There was a point where Rotroff was scheduled for a multi-week absence due to a foot injury, but he surprised some by taking on a few minutes Saturday in a reserve capacity. He even put together an impressive and-one play in the post. An early return would mean a lot for the Duquesne post depth, but it's unclear what type of workload he'll see Monday against Weber State, especially if this is an injury that will need to continue to be managed.
