ASU defensive tackle injured, out for weeks in Red Wolves' 1st major loss of season

Arkansas State University defensive tackle Dee Liner injured his groin in Wednesday morning’s practice and, according to Coach Blake Anderson, will be out two to six weeks.

The injury, which occurred during a non-contact drill, is the first major loss for the Red Wolves this season.

Sophomore guard Troy Elliott, who started two games last season, missed Saturday’s scrimmage with a minor ankle injury and is currently day-to-day.

Liner’s injury sets back the depth of a defense that led the NCAA in tackles for loss (125) last season.

The 6-3, 325-pound redshirt senior sat out the 2015 season due to his transfer from Alabama.
