The team left the game with several injuries to key players, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/south-carolina-gamecocks\/news\/mo-kaba-out-for-season-knee-injury-south-carolina-gamecocks-lb-college-football\/\"><strong>a season-ending one for edge defender Mo Kaba<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Coach <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/coach\/shane-beamer-132586\/\">Shane Beamer<\/a><\/strong> announced a list of other players that were on the injury report coming out of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a physical game last week,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cWould say that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/markee-anderson-83658\/\">Markee Anderson<\/a><\/strong> is doubtful this week. I would say that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/nick-emmanwori-92488\/\">Nick Emmanwori<\/a><\/strong> is doubtful this week. I would say that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/jatius-geer-57936\/\">JT Geer<\/a><\/strong> is doubtful this week. I would say that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/david-spaulding-32119\/\">David Spaulding<\/a><\/strong> is doubtful this week. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/cason-henry-19158\/\">Cason Henry<\/a><\/strong> is out this week. And everybody else practiced today and should be good to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beamer was later asked to clarify on several injuries, including Emmanwori and receivers <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/nyckoles-harbor-94024\/\">Nyckoles Harbor<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/juice-wells-150057\/\">Antwane Wells<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I said Emmanwori, I\u2019m sorry if I didn\u2019t,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cI would say Nyck is probably doubtful. If you asked him he would probably say that he\u2019s playing. He didn\u2019t practice today so he would need to do something tomorrow for us in practice. We\u2019ll see. We meet as a staff at 4 o\u2019clock, I\u2019ll have a better idea. But I would say right now Nyck is doubtful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other receiver, Wells, should be good to go. Wells is one of the team\u2019s most productive wideouts and has been for the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJuice was good, I asked him early on in practice, \u2018How you feeling, what\u2019s your mindset this week?&#8217;\u201d Beamer said. \u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019m playing and don\u2019t even try to limit me in practice today,\u2019 is essentially what he said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then Beamer continued discussing the last of several injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/ahmarean-brown-1916\/\">Ahmarean Brown<\/a><\/strong>) got hit in the ribs a little bit but he practiced today and was fine,\u201d the third-year South Carolina coach said. \u201cI would say all of those guys that did not finish the game the other night or came out of the game for different reasons all of those guys should be fine. Nobody else missed practice today that I didn\u2019t already mention.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Mo Kaba lost for the season<\/h2>\n<p>The worst news coming out of the North Carolina game was the loss of edge defender <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/mohamed-kaba-142627\/\">Mo Kaba<\/a><\/strong> for the season. It marks his second straight season-ending injury after his 2022 campaign was cut short by a torn ACL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe obviously released the information about Mo Kaba, heart breaks for him,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cSomebody obviously a fantastic human being first and foremost. Fantastic player for us. Really hard deal when he tore his ACL last year against Arkansas and was tough for us obviously to deal with from an emotional standpoint. Kid worked his butt off throughout the offseason, spring practice, was practicing with great energy. And was truly loving being back out there, as you can imagine. Smile on his face every day at practice. Really hurt for him and wish him, not wish him well, but we\u2019ll wrap our arms around him and we\u2019ll see what the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beamer urged the South Carolina fans to do whatever they can to lift up Kaba in this trying time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would ask everybody that\u2019s affiliated with Gamecock Nation to please think about Mo, because this is tough on him and tough on our football team as well,\u201d Beamer said.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/south-carolina-gamecocks\/news\/shane-beamer-provides-update-on-several-injuries-ahead-of-week-2\/\">Shane Beamer provides update on several injuries ahead of Week 2<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Carolina played a quality opponent in its season opener, taking on a tough North&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15813\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
