USC football players balled out in Week 1, but injuries could sideline a handful of former Trojans.

The injury bug would normally be hitting USC football hard around this time of year. But the Trojans are playing on Saturdays so it seems the menace has turned its attention to a load of Projans.

Five ex-USC players in the NFL will be out or are in danger of missing Week 2 action this weekend.

Steelers’ tackle Zach Banner is the most serious. He is on IR with the brutal knee injury he sustained on Monday night.
