South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer had good news and neutral news on Gamecocks running back Rahsul Faison<\/a> Tuesday during his afternoon press conference.<\/p>\n

No, there\u2019s not an update on his status with the NCAA, but South Carolina\u2019s fifth-year head coach did confirm that Faison is not dealing with a serious injury after he was notably absent from the open portion of Sunday evening\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m going to get asked about Rahsul; I don\u2019t have an update for you right now,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t at practice Sunday, that wasn\u2019t because of his situation with the NCAA, he just got hit on his shoulder a little bit in our scrimmage on Saturday night, it\u2019s nothing serious, just a bruise, but he was in the training room, getting some extra work done Sunday night when you guys were at practice. But he was back out there today and in good spirits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beamer remains optimistic that Faison, who has asked the NCAA for an additional year of eligibiltiy but has not yet received a final ruling, would ultimately get good news and credited the senior running back for his positive attitude through the entire situation.<\/p>\n

In other injury news, Beamer did not seem overly concerned about the health of nickelback Jalon Kilgore or EDGE Desmond Umeozulu, who were also limited or absent from the viewing window of Sunday\u2019s workout.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey (have) normal bumps and bruises,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cDes will be fine; got banged up in the scrimmage the other night. Jalon\u2019s got a little bit of a soft tissue injury on the lower body but if we played today they would play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Beamer said freshman EDGE Kobby Sakyi-Prah<\/a> and walk-on defensive back Jackson Burger are dealing with more serious injuries. <\/p>\n

\u201cNothing really new injury-wise to report, normal bumps and bruises that you have in preseason camp, nothing long term that would affect anybody playing in Game 1 other than Kobby Sakyi-Prah, our true freshman, he\u2019s got a lower body injury that will be somewhat long-term. I wouldn\u2019t expect him back asny time soon. <\/p>\n

\u201cJackson Burger, who was really doing some great things for us from a defensive back and special teams standpoint going back to the spring, the rate that he improved from last year to now was really impressive. He\u2019ll be out for a while also. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut everybody else that I haven\u2019t already said was going to be out long term, no one new to report other than those two. Optimistic that everybody will be good as we go into Game 1.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer had good news and neutral news on Gamecocks running back Rahsul Faison…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283594,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7,49,48,11975],"class_list":{"0":"post-283593","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-rahsul-faison-19-pottsgrove"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115018865328045991","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
