Louisville Football Injury Report Ahead of Holiday Bowl

Louisville only has four players who are known to have injuries, and only two are new for the Holiday Bowl.

Jawhar Jordan's injury update

Louisville running back Jawhar Jordan is considered questionable to play in the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday.

Jordan was injured during Lousiville's loss to Kentucky and was considered a game-time decision for the ACC championship. Coach Jeff Brohm provided an update on the RB earlier in December and said:

"I know Jawhar Jordan and Ben Perry got nicked up in the last game, and will be game-time decisions for the bowl game, even with this type of rest."

Ultimately, Jordan was able to play in the ACC championship game, but the running back is still dealing with the injury.

Jordan has rushed for 1,128 yards this season on 181 carries and 13 touchdowns.

Ben Perry's injury update

Cardinals defensive back Ben Perry was a key player for Louisville this season but is questionable with the same injury that made him a game-time decision for the ACC championship.

Perry recorded 56 tackles, four pass deflections and one sack this season, his third at Louisville.

Perry started all 13 games as the "STAR" in defensive coordinator Ron English's defense and logged the team's fifth-most tackles while recording the third-most tackles for loss at 6.5.
