It looks like you should expect Minnesota to field a depleted secondary for the second game in a row. In today’s Big Ten teleconference, Coach Fleck was asked about the status of Duke McGhee and Antoine Winfield Jr. heading into this weekend’s game against Purdue:
#Gophers @Coach_Fleck says suspended safety Duke McGhee isn't expected to play vs. Purdue but is back with team.

Doogie chimed in soon after that he was hearing that Winfield is not expected to play due to his hamstring strain, but that it’s not considered serious.
