Harvey has been out since suffering a lower-body injury vs. Virginia Tech on Oct. 11, and Gilmore, Rutherford, Alexander and Moore all didn’t play last week vs. Syracuse. Gilmore, Rutherford and Moore were all banged up in the game at Duke on Oct. 18 while it is unknown when Alexander suffered his injury.
Not listed on the injury report is co-starting defensive tackle Akelo Stone, who has been out since suffering a lower-body injury vs. Wake Forest on Sept. 27.
