Following a thrilling victory in their season opener, the USC Trojans have updated their availability for the upcoming week two clash against the Utah State Aggies.
Trojans’ Injury Report
Heading into their first home game of the 2024 season at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Trojans are in good health overall. The team’s injury report lists no players as “out,” though linebacker Mason Cobb is considered “questionable.”
Cobb missed the media-accessible practice session on Wednesday, September 4, raising concerns among reporters. USC head coach Lincoln Riley confirmed, “Mason’s been limited this week; he hasn’t participated fully in practice and will be questionable for the game.”
**New Reporting Requirements**
As one of the four new teams joining the Big Ten this season, USC is now required to submit availability reports, a change that aligns with NFL practices. Teams must report which players are “questionable” or “out” two hours before kickoff.
In their season opener against LSU at the Model Vegas Kickoff Classic, the Trojans were notably healthy, a rarity compared to other teams in both the SEC and Big Ten, which now follow this new reporting standard.
The Trojans, who added 1,400 pounds of muscle to their roster this offseason, have benefited from a strong strength and conditioning program, helping keep players on the field.
