On the first day of spring practice, head coach Pat Fitzgerald sat down with the media to discuss injuries, departures, new arrivals and more. Here are some notes from his media availability:
- Four players, including backup running back John Moten IV, will miss spring practice due to injury. All four had offseason surgeries of some sort, but Fitz expects all of them back for the fall. Defensive back Jake Murray is retiring because of too many concussions.
- Keith Watkins II and Tommy Carnifax will be limited in spring practice.
