Quentin Redding - Injured on punt return Redding was injured on a punt return in the first quarter of Saturday's game versus Rhode Island, Pierre Noujaim of Fox 9 Minneapolis reports.
Impact Redding, the Gophers' primary returner, was injured on his first punt return and did not go out on the field for the second punt as he was on the sideline with his helmet off. Daniel Jackson took over the duties with Redding injured. The severity of his injury is currently unknown, as is his status for the rest of the contest.

Pierce Walsh - Will miss Week 2 Walsh (leg) is officially out for Minnesota's Week 2 game against Rhode Island.
Impact Walsh has yet to log a catch for the Golden Gophers. He also missed the opener with his leg injury, and it'll take the tight end longer to work his way up the pecking order at tight end as he continues to rehab his leg injury.

Kaeden Johnson - Out again Johnson (undisclosed) will not play Saturday versus Rhode Island.
Impact Johnson will miss his second straight game Saturday for undisclosed reasons, although it's fair to assume it's simply due to him being a true freshman. His next chance to play is next Saturday at Nevada.

Darius Taylor - Set to return Saturday Taylor (hamstring) will play and start Saturday versus Rhode Island, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Taylor missed last Thursday's opener versus North Carolina with a hamstring injury but is now healthy enough to start for the Gophers. He was very productive as a true freshman last season, rushing 138 times for 799 yards and five touchdowns.

Darius Taylor - Practicing but status still murky Head coach P.J. Fleck mentioned Wednesday that Taylor (hamstring) has looked great in practice this week and seems "very, very close" to making his season debut, Marcus R. Fuller o...
Impact Fleck still hasn't given any sort of clear timeline for when Taylor's season debut could come, but speculation from Fuller is that Taylor may not play until the team faces Iowa on Sept. 21 in their conference opener. The team seems to be taking a cautious approach with Taylor's return with Fleck encouraged by the play of Marcus Major early on. A clearer verdict on Taylor's playing status for this Saturday should be made clear either Friday or during warmups ahead of Saturday's kickoff.

Daniel Jackson - Moderate showing in opening loss Jackson totaled four receptions (on five targets) for 55 yards during Thursday's 19-17 defeat to North Carolina.
Impact Jackson was previously questionable for Thursday's game with an undisclosed injury, but was declared good to go hours before kickoff. It's unknown whether Jackson simply played through injury, but the veteran receiver recorded a moderate day, failing to find the end zone in Minnesota's loss to North Carolina. The 6-foot receiver still led the team in receptions and yards, indicating that he is the top option for the passing attack moving forward. A home matchup against Rhode Island should provide the opportunity for Jackson to get things going on the season.

Marcus Major - Productive day in opener Major logged 20 carries for 73 yards and one touchdown and caught 1 of 2 targets for 27 yards during Thursday's 19-17 defeat against North Carolina.
Impact Major was moved into the starting lineup after Darius Taylor was ruled out with a hamstring injury prior to Thursday's season opener against North Carolina. Despite having big shoes to fill in place of the All-Big Ten back in Taylor, Major performed admirably, recording 100 total yards and finding the end zone on a five-yard run in the second quarter. With Taylor's health in question for Week 2, Major could see another week of his expanded role when the Golden Gophers host Rhode Island on Saturday.

Max Brosmer - Moderate showing in opener Brosmer completed 13 of 21 passes for 166 yards during Thursday's 19-17 defeat to North Carolina. He also had nine rushes for negative six yards with one touchdown.
Impact The former New Hampshire transfer understandably looked shaky at times in his first game at the D-I level, though a touchdown run late in the second quarter gave the offense a seven-point lead heading into halftime. Aside from the rushing score, however, Brosmer and the Minnesota offense struggled throughout the day, as they were held to just three points in the second half and recorded less than 250 total yards on the day. Brosmer will hope to turn things around for the Golden Gophers offense when Minnesota hosts Rhode Island on Saturday.
