Will play vs. Minnesota Bryant (head) will play against the Gophers on Saturday, Jeremy Werner of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Illinois' star wideout, who was dealing with a head injury, is good to go and won't miss any time. The Illini' leading receiver has 34 grabs for 510 yards and seven scores, and he'll look to add to that total against what's been an opportunistic Gophers' secondary.

Game-time decision Bryant (head) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with Minnesota, Erik Hall of The Telegraph reports.
Impact Bryant, who suffered a concussion during last week's loss against Oregon, remains a game-time decision for the Fighting Illini this weekend. The 6-foot-3 senior wideout has been impressive with Illinois this season, totaling 34 receptions for 510 yards and seven touchdowns across eight games. Bryant was spotted on the sidelines of practice Tuesday wearing sunglasses to protect against the lingering effects of his concussion, and if he is unable to suit up this weekend, expect Zakhari Franklin and Collin Dixon to see more work in the receiving game.

OCTOBER 29 • SI.COM
Leading receiver in loss Franklin tallied six receptions (on 10 targets) for 72 yards during Saturday's 38-9 loss against Oregon.
Impact Franklin led the team in receptions and yards on a day in which the Illinois offense largely found themselves outmatched by a superior Oregon team. The senior receiver was one of the few bright spots on the day for the Fighting Illini as he logged six or more catches for just the second time this season, also accounting for his second-highest yardage total of the season. Franklin has caught 36 passes for 444 yards and a single touchdown for the Fighting Illini through eight games this season and will hope to build on Saturday's performance in a home battle against Minnesota this coming Saturday.

Impact It was a tough day for Altmyer and the Illinois offense, as the junior quarterback threw his second and third interceptions of the season and completed a season-low 49 percent of his passes against the Ducks. Altmyer also failed to find the end zone for just the second time this season as the Fighting Illini were held to just nine points on the day. Even including Saturday's beatdown, Altmyer has had a solid season thus far, throwing for 1,667 yards, 15 touchdowns and three interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes through eight games. Better days lie ahead for Altmyer and the Illinois offense, starting next week in a home battle against Minnesota.
