Illini head football coach Tim Beckman suspends 2 defensive players for violation of team policies.
Joe Fotu and Caleb Day won't be taking the field anytime soon, according to Illinois head football coach Tim Beckman, who said the duo have been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team policies.
Fotu, a senior defensive tackle, recorded six tackles, including five solo tackles last season. He was expected to be a second stringer behind Teko Powell and Jarrod Clements.
Beckman also stated senior defensive end Jihad Ward could return sooner than expected from injury, but didn't expand on Powell's status.
