Takeaways from the Penn State injury report

Redshirt freshman defensive end Mylachi Williams is a new name on the list of players who are out this week. However, that should not surprise Blue-White Illustrated subscribers, as Sean Fitz reported that he was not at practice back on Wednesday. A new name who is out is backup tight end Andrew Olesh.

In a positive development, freshman Randy Adirika is back. The defensive tackle did not play last week. But, he did play in the season opener. And, so is backup kicker Matthew Parker. He, like Adirika, was not available last week.
