Impact Fresno State has four games left on the schedule, so there's a chance Sherrod won't return for the rest of the season. However, it's impossible to know that for certain since there's no clarity on the kind of injury the running back is dealing with. Sherrod has made just four appearances this season, rushing 60 times for 196 yards and four scores. Expect Elijah Gilliam and Bryson Donelson to see the majority of the snaps out of the backfield with Sherrod sidelined.

Impact Sherrod did not play during the Bulldogs' game Saturday against Washington State. The running back's updated status indicates he will likely sit out again Friday.

Impact Sherrod tallied nine carries for five yards and a touchdown against the Runnin' Rebels before leaving with an injury. The tailback has had a hard time getting going this season save for the New Mexico State game. If Sherrod can't go on Friday against Nevada, Elijah Gilliam should assume the RB1 duties in Fresno.

The 5-foot-8 senior has led the Bulldogs' backfield with 191 yards and three touchdowns on 51 carries this season. If Sherrod is ultimately unable to return, Elijah Gilliam would likely handle a large role against UNLV.

Sherrod is the Bulldogs' clear lead back, though he's gotten off to a slow start this season, totaling 78 rushing yards on his first 36 carries this year.
