the injury ward …

in Gallagher-Iba Arena is up to three, all with shoulder injuries. As we learned yesterday, Anthony Brown is out indefinately with a shoulder injury. He clarified just a minute ago that he sustained the injury in Ames last week, apparently in practice. So now between Brown, Brad Garrett and Andy Shaw, OSU is down three key practice players.

Last year OSU had serious depth problems, down to eight guys much of the season. Right now the rotation isn’t affected much — Garrett would likely be playing at least 10 minutes a game, but he was injured before anyone got too used to having him, and Brown wasn’t playing much the last couple weeks. Andy Shaw, a redshirt freshman, hasn’t played in a game.

But Saturday against A&M, OSU could have used Brown to try and combat the Aggies serious inside game. As it stands, OSU fans will likely see Marshall Moses for the first time in a while. Provided, of course, he can keep his shoulder out of a sling.
