The Oregon State football team wrapped up its last contact practice of the week Thursday afternoon. The offense worked out in a slight, but steady, rain. There’s a good chance for bad weather Saturday, so it was good to prepare for the elements.
RB Jacquizz Rodgers (ankle) started practice, but didn’t finish. Coach Mike Riley wanted to rest him. He had a good workout Wednesday, so he’s tapering.
WR James Rodgers (knee) went the distance during the week. He’ll be at full strength for the game. He’ll even return kicks, even though his backup S Jordan Poyer showed some explosiveness last weekend with a 70-yard return.
LB David Pa’aluhi (sick) returned to practice after a day off. Riley said there’s no swine flu going around the team.
WR Geno Munoz (hip) returned to practice this week. He’ll be dressed and be available in a reserve role.
Greyshirt WR Kevin Cummings has been visiting the Beavers the last two days. He’ll be here in January. The rest of the greyshirts are still set to make it into school, yes that includes WR Reggie Dunn (at the moment).
Here’s a link to OSU president Ed Ray being elected chair of the NCAA Executive Committee, and chair of the search committee for an NCAA president.

So is Catchings going to be available soon? Is Riley going to try to see if this can count as his redshirt season? I don't see why he wouldn't get it. He only played in 2 games i think and has only a 2 reception for 24 yards. Sammy Stoughter played a lot more when he got his medical redshirt

Catchings, in theory, should start trying to run next week. However, I think OSU may try and gamble and hold him out and hope he gets a medical redshirt. That won't be decided until March.
The issue is not how many games Catchings played. The problem is if an ankle sprain is a season-ending injury. Stroughter had a lacerated kidney. Doctors didn't feel it was safe for him to play for a long time.

It is great to hear that all the greyshirts are still expected to make it on campus come January. And just so I'm sure Cliff, that does include Michael Doctor? I am really excited about that kid and hope we can get him in school.
