The injury bug has hit early in the season for the second straight year in Durham as the Blue Devils announced several injuries and subsequent roster changes on Tuesday morning.
Redshirt junior running back Jela Duncan has been ruled out of action indefinitely after suffering a torn right pectoral muscle during Monday’s workouts according to Duke Sports Information Department. In addition, backup running backs Joseph Ajeigbe and Shaun Wilson have been sidelined with minor injuries that will keep them out of contact.
With the loss of three running backs, Duke has reassigned redshirt freshman Nico Pierre from quarterback to running back.
