Curt Cignetti called Indiana starting cornerbacks Jamari Sharpe and A.J. Harris day-to-day after their early exits against North Texas and said trainers still needed to determine their availability against Howard, with Ryland Gandy and Jaylen Bell having filled in.

Cignetti expects running back Khobie Martin to miss the next several weeks and return around midseason, without identifying a specific return game.

Indiana freshman tight end Trevor Gibbs is close to returning after missing the opener, but Cignetti said the staff does not want to rush his debut and risk further injury.

Cignetti said injured freshman defensive lineman Blake Smythe could become available soon after missing Week 1, when Cam McHaney took most of the backup snaps in his place.
