Jamal Shead - Not yet ruled out Tuesday Shead (ankle) is warming up for Tuesday's game against South Florida with a compression sleeve on his right leg, and there's a chance he's available to play if needed, Joseph Duart...

Impact Coach Kelvin Sampson said Monday that Shead would be unavailable the next two games due to the ankle injury, but it appears he hasn't been officially ruled out. Shead is apparently doing better than expected in his recovery from the right ankle sprain suffered last weekend, though his outlook for Tuesday remains limited at best given the conflicting information. He won't start and is unlikely to fill his usual role if available against the Bulls.

Fabian White - Rusty shooting in return White amassed seven points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 66-64 victory over Tulsa.

Impact The injury bug continues to weigh heavy on this year's Houston team, but White was able to avoid missing his first game of the year despite dealing with ankle trouble this week. Yet another guard went down this week in Jamal Shead (ankle), so it appears likely that White and the other frontcourt players will be called upon for heavy usage moving forward. White's shooting performance wasn't great here, but he'll have chances to bounce back this week with favorable home matchups against South Florida and East Carolina on the schedule.

Jamal Shead - Out next two games Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson said Monday that Shead (ankle) won't be available for the Cougars' next two games Tuesday versus South Florida and Saturday versus East Carolina,...

Impact Shead is tending to a right ankle sprain after exiting in the first half of last Saturday's two-point win over Tulsa. Sampson hinted that Shead could miss time beyond this week, but for now, the Cougars are ruling out the sophomore guard for the next two contests. Ramon Walker is the likeliest candidate to enter the starting five in place of Shead.

Josh Carlton - Breaking out with Cougars Carlton notched 30 points (11-16 FG, 8-12 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 83-66 win over South Florida.

Impact Carlton started his fifth consecutive game Wednesday night and ended up shattering his previous career-best scoring total of 21. The Cougars have been decimated by injuries in the backcourt, but rather than rely on young guards to pick up the pace, it seems coach Kelvin Sampson is instead looking to his experienced post players for offense. It's a strategy that has been successful so far, with Houston posting a 2-0 record to begin AAC play.

Kyler Edwards - Returns to starting lineup Edwards had 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 83-66 win over South Florida.

Impact Edwards returned to the starting lineup for Houston after suffering an ankle sprain in late December. He had a strong showing in his return to action, recording 34 minutes for the Cougars, and leading them to a large win over South Florida. The senior guard from Texas, who has been averaging 12.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals on 30.5 minutes a game for Houston, will look to continue his starter production moving forward.

Kyler Edwards - Back in starting five Edwards (ankle) will start Wednesday's game against USF, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Edwards figures to be a centerpiece for the Cougars moving forward with a large number of players sidelined the rest of the way. The senior guard enters the night averaging 12.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game and will likely be leaned on for as many minutes as he can handle.

Kyler Edwards - Felt better in practice Edwards (ankle) was able to practice Monday and felt better according to coach Kelvin Sampson, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Edwards is suffering from a Grade 2 ankle sprain and spent time in a walking boot. He did not play on Sunday against Temple and is questionable to go on Wednesday against South Florida.

Taze Moore - Starting Sunday Moore (illness) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Temple.

Impact Moore has only missed two games while sidelined with an illness but hasn't played since Dec. 14. Moore played a season-high 36 minutes his last time out and had 14 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the year. The 6-5 senior should remain heavily involved while Kyler Edwards (ankle) is out.

Kyler Edwards - Dealing with Grade 2 ankle sprain Coach Kelvin Sampson indicated Friday that Edwards is suffering from a Grade 2 ankle sprain, Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Edwards is in a walking boot after being helped off the floor in the team's last game Dec. 22 versus Texas State and the Grade 2 diagnosis suggests the issue is a bit more serious than a tweak. Per Duarte, Edwards isn't expected to be part of the mix Sunday and there isn't an established timeline for his return at this juncture.
