Trent Pennix - Converts to H-Back Pennix will serve as an H-back moving forward for the Wolfpack, Justin H. Williams of The Wolfpacker reports.

Impact Pennix had fallen behind in the running back race, rushing just once all of last season while recording three catches for 11 yards. His shift to an H-Back role could make him more valuable in the offensive scheme, though it would likely come as more of a versatile tight end type than running the football. He's certainly got the size to fill the role at 6-foot-3, 236 pounds.

Emeka Emezie - About a week from retaking field Coach Dave Doeren indicated Tuesday that Emezie could retake the field in "about a week or so," Pack Pride reports.

Impact Doeren also indicated that he doesn't want to rush Emezie but hopes to have the senior wideout ready for Week 1. At this point, it's best to consider him questionable with a better gauge of his chances to play coming as the season draws closer and he progresses in his rehab. Emezie is coming off of his best season to date, totaling 47 receptions for 738 yards and five touchdowns last season.
