Purdue Football Loses Key Players Ahead of Crucial Northwestern Matchup
18 Oct
Summary
- Chauncey Magwood, a senior transfer from UCF, is among four Purdue players inactive for the game
- Tight end George Burhenn will miss his third straight game after being injured at Notre Dame
- Offensive linemen Marques Easley and De'Nylon Morrissette have yet to play this season
As Purdue football prepares to take on Northwestern this Saturday, they will be without several key players. Senior transfer wide receiver Chauncey Magwood, who returned to the team two weeks ago, is among the four Boilermakers who are inactive for the 3 p.m. kickoff.
In addition to Magwood, Purdue will also be missing tight end George Burhenn, who has now missed his third straight game after being injured at Notre Dame. The Boilermakers' offensive line has also been hit hard, with both Marques Easley and De'Nylon Morrissette yet to play this season.
These absences come as Purdue looks to bounce back from recent losses to Illinois and Minnesota. The team will need to find a way to overcome these key injuries if they hope to secure a victory against their Big Ten rival Northwestern.
