Wildcat Insider Aug. 29: Injuries may plague Wildcats season early

Game week is finally upon us.

After a month of training camp and practice, Arizona will prep one more week before they begin their regular season Thursday night against UTSA at Arizona Stadium.

Though the season has yet to start, the Wildcats have already faced some challenges with injuries to starters.

During his press conference Friday afternoon, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said linebacker Cody Ippolito and tight end Trevor Wood will both miss the entire season with injuries. Ippolito recently tore his ACL and Wood suffered a shoulder injury and had surgery.

In addition, receivers Trey Griffey and Tyrell Johnson will both miss a couple of weeks with foot injuries.
