D'Wan Mathis - In boot, unlikely to play Saturday Mathis (ankle) is in a walking boot and not warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Akron, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact It appears Temple will be without its transfer quarterback Saturday with Mathis hobbled by an ankle injury. Justin Lynch projects as the next man up at quarterback for the Owls.

Justin Lynch - Expected to start Saturday Lynch is line to be the team's starting quarterback for Saturday's game against Akron, Shawn Pastor of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Lynch entered last week's game late in relief of D'Wan Mathis after he suffered a left foot injury. The true freshman ran the ball six times for 39 yards and lost a fumble. He also failed to complete either of his three pass attempts and threw an interception. The team is labeling Mathis as week-to-week and he seems unlikely to play Saturday given the fact that Lynch is expected to start.

Ra'Von Bonner - Catching up on game plan Bonner is a bit behind on learning the new game plan due to an injury over the summer, source reports.

Impact Bonner didn't register a carry in the season opener against Rutgers, with Edward Saydee handling the lead role and rushing for 57 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. It's hard to discern at this point exactly how Bonner will be utilized when he's up to speed, but he could at least be part of the rotation once he gets there.

David Martin-Robinson - Will miss a couple of months Martin-Robinson (shoulder) will miss the next couple of months after sustaining an injury in Saturday's blowout loss.

Impact Martin-Robinson was slated for a big role at Temple's starting tight end, but after getting injured Saturday, the 6-foot-4 junior will be forced to miss at least the team's next few games. Martin-Robinson will likely get replaced in the starting lineup by Darius Pittman until he's healthy again.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

D'Wan Mathis - Listed as week-to-week Mathis (ankle) is considered week-to-week after injuring himself in his team's season opener against Rutgers.

Impact Mathis struggled in his season debut as he completed only 8 of 25 attempts and he passed for 148 yards. The sophomore was forced to leave the game early with an ankle injury and the severity of that injury is uncertain. Mathis' status for Week 2 against Akron is up in the air and if he's unable to play, expect Justin Lynch to take over Mathis' role.

Jadan Blue - Quiet in opener Blue caught one pass for nine yards against Rutgers.

Impact It was a quiet day for the redshirt junior as he caught just one pass in the team's blowout loss. Blue has proved to be a capable receiver in his career, going for over 1000 yards in 2019. The 6-foot-0 receiver will look to continue to grow his connection with new starting quarterback D'Wan Mathis as the season progresses.

Edward Saydee - Productive before injury Saydee rushed the ball 12 times for 57 yards while scoring a rushing touchdown as well as catching two passes for 25 yards before getting sidelined due to a leg injury against Rutg...

Impact The 5-foot-11 running back was one of the only bright spots on the Owls' offense before leaving due to a leg injury in the team's blowout loss to Rutgers. Saydee was the only position player on Temple to find the end zone and was also able to walk off the field on his own power after the injury. If healthy for next week the redshirt freshman will look to lead Temple in rushing yet as the team takes on Akron.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jose Barbon - Leads team in receiving Barbon caught two passes for 48 yards against Rutgers.

Impact The redshirt sophomore's 48 yards were enough to lead the team in Temple's blowout loss to Rutgers. Barbon was targeted five times and appears to be more involved in the offense than he was last season. The 6-foot-0 receiver will continue to try to assert himself as a legit receiving threat in the Owls' offense as the season progresses.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

D'Wan Mathis - Struggles and injured in debut Mathis completed 8 of 25 attempts for 148 yards while adding in nine carries for nine yards and rushing touchdown to go with an interception. The quarterback also left the game due...

Impact It was not the debut for the Owls that the Georgia transfer was looking for. Mathis couldn't get anything going in the air and completed just 32 percent of his passes while turning it over as well. The 6-foot-6 quarterback left the game early due to an ankle injury as well and will look to get healthy for next week's matchup against Akron.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Iverson Clement - Likely out Saturday Clement is unlikely to play Saturday against Rutgers, Dante Collinelli of OwlScoop.com reports.

Impact The Florida transfer was reportedly away from the team as of mid-August and is not ready to debut for Temple. Once Clement resumes practicing, he'll be on track to contribute.
