Northwestern released its Week 8 injury report for its matchup against Rutgers, and there are five inclusions:
Fox, Hall, Kuhbander and Newsome all missed last week’s game against Nebraska, so Vault is the newcomer to the list. It’s unclear what kind of injury he has, and whether he sustained it in the Nebraska game or during practice this week. Vault missed all of last season and the beginning of this season with a leg injury.
Northwestern struggled to defend the run against the Cornhuskers without Hall, but Rutgers shouldn’t be as steep of a challenge this week.
