Colin Fox and Redarian Daniels are out for the season, while Barry Odom expects the rest of Purdue's roster to be active for the Indiana State opener but declined to update Joey Tanona.

Purdue's wide receivers were identified as the roster's most improved unit since January, with multiple playmakers capable of moving across alignments to create matchup-specific touches.

Josh Henson has built the offense around better early-down efficiency, fewer turnovers and more explosives, and said the first unit achieved those goals during fall camp.

Freshman Brock Brownfield has a chance to start immediately on Purdue's offensive line because his physical development, football intelligence, maturity and competitiveness translated unusually quickly.

JoJo Hayden and Anthony Specca form Purdue's primary physical linebacker pairing, while former safety and hybrid edge Trey Moore has grown from 200 to 235 pounds as he learns the position.
